I've been a lurker off and on for over a year. We live in the mountains, about an hour from the south entrance to Yosemite National Park. We own a 27' fifth-wheel, but sold the truck that pulled it, and now are trying to sell the RV.
We also own a 13' travel trailer, that we've used for the past two years, it is an early 60's vintage. I am not happy with the floor plan, nor with the lack of a heater and it seems to heavy for our F150 to pull. So, we keep coming back to a teardrop. From what I've read it less expensive to weld up a trailer then purchase it? My husband has a machine shop, knows how to weld and has the proper equipment. What axle is recommended? A dexter? How about an axle from an automobile? I did see a thread about that.
Thanks,
Candi
