Hey Dennis, I'm pretty much in the same boat as I work on my '46 Spartan. On one hand I don't think there's much I can do about the markets and since this is a retirement project I'm not overly concerned (if at all) with how much money I may or may not make. I'm more focused on a project that will have a broader appeal, kind of aiming for something that could be an air BnB. Different from a trailer I have done for myself. Hence, a wet bath, permanent full bed, microwave, TV etc. I think style can be complimentary to the trailers time period, many mid-century trailers look good in Mid-Century decor. Also, in the age of the internet I think it's fairly easy to get your product in front of a lot of people. I think much harder to predict will be overall pricing trends. Two other areas I know fairly well are vintage guitars and classic cars... the premium stuff always holds it's value and sells. Another side thought, I've done two trailers to the halfway point and sold and that has also worked well. Nice looking trailer.
Good luck, Mark D
