The hunt is on for a flat deck gooseneck between 24-26 feet. Chris and I still differ on what the base should be though. He'd love to get an old RV that we can tear down and use for parts. It would come with a lot of great items we can use and cost less, the trade off is the extra time and work, I also worry about how nice the previous owner was to the trailer. I'm more partial to a new trailer. I like knowing that we're the first ones to have it and it will be good quality. It lets us get straight to the building, but it definitely will cost us more.
We're following up leads for both options and I have to say we've been so thrilled with the response out here. I think Albertans really understand the concept of a tiny house that lets you have more land and get outdoors more. If you're in the Grande Prairie region we have to recommend Foster's Covered Wagons. Brandy was so helpful and so excited to hear about the tiny home idea, we want to deal with her just for her enthusiasm for what we're doing! Another huge thank you to Eden at Woody's RV World. She understood our idea and the fact that we don't want an RV and she let us know that there is a place RV's go to die in Edmonton called Murphy's RV.
We still have some research to do and we're waiting for some price quotes to come in but the trip has been a great way to get our heads around the trailer part of the process. We plan to get the trailer figured out by Spring next year so we'll keep you up to date on the details!
