Don't give up on your dream! There
are trailers out there that meet your description. (although, you don't give us much to go on! Age? Size? Model?)
We've bought two that were very useable "as-is", for under $5000 both times. The added expense comes when you are a nester and want to fix'em up and customize 'em!
Then the projects and money spending begin...but you can do it as you go along!
Keep an eye out for a diamond in the rough...the classifieds
here,
Craig's List, local papers, back of barns...etc. Keep in mind, once you know
what you are looking for and what a
fair price is...it's all in the negoiating!
Good luck in your search!
