An Economic, Efficient, Low cost RV.
I built this custom little RV Trailer from a $600 flatbed utility trailer.  Its constructed of 2x4's on the sides, 2x6 roof trusses and osb siding.  It's paneled on the inside, insulated r-15 sides and r-19 roof, 1.5 inch rigid foam in floor.  It has 6 coat's of latex paint to protect from the weather.  There's a cabinet, lamp & bookshelf on the inside and storage under the bunk and on the sides & storage above the tongue in front.  It has 12volt and 110volt power inside.  It has a 125 watt solar panel and I've since added another 70 watt panel with 10 amp sunsaver controller and 2 12volt batteries for storage.  I has a 1500 watt inverter.  I've run a TV and desktop computer for 5 hrs on one day's solar charge.  I've had it in Arizona in near 100 deg heat and the inside stay's cool all day.  In cold weather it stay's warm with very little heat (a 250 watt heat lamp is more than enough).  The interior dimensions are   7'7" long x 5'0"  wide x 50" tall.  The floor is carpeted.  It has a small antenna mast with high efficiency antenna, 12 volt light inside, a swivel tv mount on wall and a small 2 drawer dresser.  I just installed brand new tires on the trailer and new trailer lights with wiring harness, also has bearing buddy's.  Takes a 2" ball and there's approx 225 lbs of tongue weight. It has a chrome diamond plate tool box in front (added after the picture) Also I've installed a ventilation fan in the door and a vent in the ceiling.  Trailer now has a cargo rack (added since picture).  Trailer does not come with the tv.    I'm selling this unit for $2000.  email me at rnilsen6000@gmail.com for more info and a phone #.

Heya exceptional blog! Does running a blog like this require a lot of work?

I have no understanding of programming but I had been hoping to start my own blog soon.

Anyways, should you have any suggestions or tips for new blog owners please share.
I understand this is off topic however I simply needed to ask.
Kudos!
