This is a long loving project that we cannot use any further because of recent health issues.
If I had to guess, I'd say 600 1000 hours invested, but it was fun. We built her up with the idea of primarily boondocking, hence the lift and the Victron/Battleborn system. Our project involved pretty close to starting from scratch. As soon as I started to my horror I realized that the rear end last 2 feet of the plywood sub floor was rotten. As a result we gutted the trailer and with the idea of NEVER having to have this problem again we rebuilt. We have new axles, brakes and 16" wheels. The back end of the trailer now has very high end marine plywood with 6 coats of urethane! Then we started rebuilding making her as roomy and as simple as possible. We removed the rear bath along with the twin beds and replaced with a full queen built on a tilt up storage system like more modern Airstreams. The walls were stripped of the "Mouse fur" and taken down to the shining pure aluminum. The carpet, replaced with cork. We removed the front couch and put in a butcher block desk that can handle our laptops and added to captain's chairs. The bath was deleted and we put in a Nature's Head toilet. We removed the heater and the water heater, replacing them with a portable Wave 8 and a propane tankless heater.
We have 2 Battleborn batteries, there is room for 4. Victron MultiPlus 3000 Inverter/Charger, she needs solar, the really expensive Victron unit is already in place . The old original AC unit has not been wired back in, it might work but the last time I checked it was the day we bought the trailer. My intent was to travel with the weather but probably to buy a new high efficiency unit.
But to be clear, she is roadworthy now, without building her out any further, but we were going to finish the Solar and AC.
