Hi guys.
Can't agree more with the Dan and Protohyp.
It all depends on how much are you willing to work on it. $1300 sounds right if the trailer has a title, if it doesn't then is a little too much, specially here in FL where there is a lot of them W/O title.
How far do you need to tow it from the seller's place to yours?
Also We totally understand that there is a lot of work involved on it, but honestly: Unless you buy an already restored AS for about 10K to 15K you will need to work on it regardless.
Now the good news is that with a gutted trailer you have the chance to make it just how you want it, and specially if you guys are planning to full time.
It will all come to 3 things according to our experience:
1) Do you have the vision of what you want?
2) Do you have the time to invest on it?
3) Is your budget realistic according to your expectations.
