Sankey camping trailer dilemma

I'm getting the urg to build another camping trailer . So it could be time for my old one to go Big Cry

My dilemma is putting a price on it for starters ... And selling options

Do I sell the whole thing together ,, trailer / top / everything in it ... And start a fresh ?

Just the top with everything in it .. Just the top on its own ??

Keep the bottom , as there are not as many sankeys floating around at the moment

Too many choices .

Iv also left my self not a lot of time between starting this project and going on my Easter camping trip .

So I either have to wait till after Easter .. Or get a move on now

What would you do ??

Here's the build thread http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic47201.h...iler+build

Couple of pics

I'd wait.

1. Its not that long until Easter (10 weeks).
2. The weather will be better for building a new one after Easter.
3. There is not a lot wrong with the one you have built.
4. How would you improve the design?

Well, if you can afford it, just build another one anyway. Sell the existing when your done.

It's more of a space thing ...I haven't got room for 2

But there is also the question of do I buy a new fridge .. Or use the one out of the old trailer ?

The heater
The shower
The electrics

Etc etc Big Cry

Then what if I can't sell it

Ade here's an idea, now Ive got a roof tent sorted, I'll look after, store your white trailer whilst you build a new one Thumbs Up

Then once the new one is done, you can decide to swap the kit or not and sell the one you decide you don't want to keep Thumbs Up

Not as easy as that .. As I will be making the trailer round certain things . So I need to decide really before I start building

Hi Adrian,

Seems to me it would make sense to keep your chasis, therefor the build won't take as long and you know your Sankey chasis is sound and fit for purpose.

It would imagine that you could build a new top section and then sell the existing top section.
( either before or after Easter )

I know of a chap, Stafford way who's looking at various options for his Sankey chasis. Thumbs Up
