One thing that seems to keep ringing true for Eric and I is that it doesn’t take us long to find what we want and we jump in with both feet pretty quickly. When buying our first house it was pretty much the first one we walked through besides a model home we took a tour through when we thought about building. It instantly felt like home and we didn’t need to look elsewhere. Same thing when we bought our car and now with our trailer. I did a lot of looking around online and we walked through a few brand new trailers to get an idea of what we wanted. However, in the end we knew we wanted to buy used since I was also using this as my creative outlet and going to turn it into our home with some updates, not to mention we could buy at a more reasonable price point. After only a couple weeks looking online at used trailers I kept coming back to this 40ft 2012 Prime Time Crusader. It had all the must haves we wanted and wasn’t very old. When going to look at it, it also helped that the guy selling it was so helpful and informative with all our questions we had. We sat on whether we should jump in and buy the trailer for about a week and in the end knew that that was going to be our next home.

One of my favorite features of the trailer is the huge bunkhouse in the back. Not only will it be a great space for the girls but we are also making it our office as well for when Eric works from home. Some other things that won us over was that it had lots of storage, a half bathroom off the bunkhouse for the girls to use, a second fridge and washer and dryer hook ups.

As for the plans for the trailer we don’t plan on doing anything too major to it; mostly all decorative things. So far we have painted the walls white to brighten up the interior (imagine hours and hours of painting!) and added new laminate flooring in the main areas. We’ve also given peel-and-stick tiles a try in the kitchen area and so far am happy with the results!

For the decoration I want it to be a warm, cozy space that is cohesive throughout the trailer. We chose to keep some of the wood tones for the warmth so as far as decoration we are going with a lot of neutrals with different textures and patterns. Here is a mood board of some of the ideas I have.
