What my 1975 Tradewind cost to restore

Estimated Total
$9,382.68 I am really close to being done with the renovation. I did all the work myself except for having the axles rebuilt.

That's an impressively comprehensive list.

I'm not sure you should ding your overall costs for the title and registration, you'd pay that if you bought a finished trailer instead of a resto.

I think I should pull all my expenses into a single place too... I started with a less-needy trailer, but less-needy is not the same as "needs nothing" as we all know.

Oh my gosh, I can't believe how fast those small receipts added up. There aren't that many big ticket items. Now, I'm wondering about all my small stuff. I've got all the receipts, but have not added them up.

Thanks for sharing!!! Great example of how fast it all adds up!
