We are gutting it. It's pretty much empty already. We had planned to re-use some wood and vintage equipment, but the more we removed the more we realized that A) the cabinetry wood was stained, rotted in places, and beat up and punctured, and we wanted more functionality than the vintage equipment would provide. Our budget is roughly $7k since we are doing everything (with the sole exception of weld repairs) by ourselves. However, I also already own 90% of the tools that I would otherwise need to buy, and we are not going to be including some large ticket items, like an A/C.

Our biggest decision we have coming up is what to do with the axle, suspension, brakes

I'd be pretty happy to only spend $7k! I only paid $3k for my trailer so to be "done" for $10k would be great!

Mine has a new jack, newer tires, a canopy that only needs a small fix includes 2 new refrigerators. So, those items will save me a few bucks! but, I have one window missing and a few that are plexi and I want glass. My '67 was one of the few years with "curved" windows to I'm sure those will be expensive and hard to find!

I'm worried about the cost of the bathroom. Kitchen wise, I don't plan to do much as we'll likely grill outside most of the time!
