Plans...literally

I found the most amazing site today that has sparked a wild and crazy idea while googling for RV information. Today I came across Glen-L who sells plans for campers, 5th wheels, motorhomes, tent trailer and best of all....travel trailers!! Why does this excite me??

(Glen-L Niagra 20'-1" Travel Trailer Plan)


Cuz I used to be an interior designer and it made me realize that I could design one too!! I could design travel trailers and sell the plans! Okay, okay...in all reality, I may never do this, but it sounds like a great idea for the moment. Aaahhh....to be in the creative process again....sigh....The other really awesome part about this site is that they provide a list of suppliers and links...SWEET!! There's nothing like finding a good source of information. Now...on to see if this list of suppliers is a good resource or not...

Happy Travels!

Meet Layton

Everybody, this is Layton...Layton meet everybody!
1976 Layton Travel Trailer model No. 1921 by Skyline

19'-1" complete with dual axel, full range, fridge, 6gal. hot water heater, 50 gal. water tank, heater, air conditioner (yes, look at the right window), and full bathroom.

It was love at first sight for me....then the educational process began...then the reality sunk in....Oh my little Layton, will your nick-name be money pit or restoration project?? One sounds much nicer than the other. Next up...our very first purchase and 'fixing up' project.
