Anyone into this lately?
I am thinking on starting a project o build my own caravan, i was into buying an old one and restoring it, but at the cost they sell the old ones i can make one from scratch much much cheaper.

I bought a used popup camper for $2,200. Cleaned it up and replaced the mattress. Have only taken it out once since I got it. I'm thinking of spending up to $10K on a 15-20 foot camper to keep permanently at a campground where I keep my boat during the 3 seasons. There's people that actually live in campers there year around. Costs $20/week + electric

You can build your pic related for less than $2,200? My pop up is smaller than that.

Virginia. Its not really a stereotypical family KOA campground. Just a bait store with a boat ramp and boat slips that has some land with camper hook ups. They do have bath and showers but they haven't been renovated in like 20 years.
