Gurvan Makes | How I Recycled a Prowler Trailer Frame for a future Tiny House. But is it Worth it ? @GurvanCustom | Uploaded December 2023 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Got this 1975 Fleetwood Prowler Trailer for Free!!
And that's the only reason I took it, I'd never pay for any vintage camper. Ever!
So I wanted naturally, to remove everything, keep only the frame and whatever building materials could be reused.
After almost a week, a big mess and a few trips to the dump... it's lighter of 400$ that I left the dump at the end.
Don't get me started on paying for dump fee... but. That was my overall costs to get that frame.
Gotta consider your time and in my case also gasoline...

Worth it? I am not sooo sure.

But for a handyman like me. Yes, it's been used for months now as a wood rack, very practical now that snow has arrived !

This video is from a while back and forgot to share it here, I was asked last week about that exact procedure of using an old trailer as a tiny house frame to build on, so I looked for that video to show and could not find it here... so there it's on now:)
I know, I could improve my videos a lot, but I'm a handyman first, I don't plan my videos...
