My wife and I want to remodel a TT for use by just the two of us. We owned one several years ago when the kids were young, and used to doodle out better floor plans. We want a mid-20's length. My main thought is to buy a late model used TT that has the basic locations of bath and kitchen we want, then remodel as follows.
1) A small couch (sleeper?) and a recliner for evening reading and TV-watching.
2) No need for dinette. (Couch can go there, maybe.)
3) Small eating counter, to also provide extra kitchen counter space.
4) Bathroom that isn't cramped for elbow-room.
5) Extra storage.
(Once I spend some time looking at other options, I'm sure there might be some mechanical upgrades I'd like. But for now I am thinking of the floorplan.)
So we would be trading sleeping and eating space for extra people in return for more comfort for two. A slide-out would help a lot, I'm sure. We did not have one on our previous trailer.
I suppose we could pay a small fortune to get one built from scratch. But I am thinking of buying late model and fixing it up. We live within an easy half-day's drive of the RV belt in Indiana. Would it be possible to just have one of the Amish shops there do the work? Any opinions on this approach?
