i have 2 of these sheds at my home from Home Depot (about $1k each). the first one was built really well by a good guy who took his time.&nbsp; the 2nd one, the contractor had his 11-13 year old kid helping him and ridiculed how the 1st guy was so slow.....and built it in 1/2 the time and like crap.&nbsp; i didn't watch over them, which was a mistake.&nbsp; you should sit around and make sure they do a good job and inspect it well.&nbsp; then you'd want to paint it too.<br>
 
I vote for the trailer , too. My wife and I got our 69 Shasta 1400 (14 ft) for $250, and I spent about $6-700 fixing it up and updating it over a year. I use my van for solo camping trips, and as a work van, while the Shasta has traveled 1000's of miles as a camper when my wife and I can get away. Plenty of room for a guy and his dog. (in fact , I tease my wife occasionally if she kicks me out, I'll have 2 houses to choose from instead of one) I easily towed it with my grand Cherokee, so I'm sure the trailblazer is up to it. My wife suggested a shed on a flatbed trailer. Best of both worlds. Live in the shed, use the trailer. Move the shed with the trailer if need be. Shes so smart, guess I don't REALLY want to get kicked out just yet....<img src="/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle">

Shasta was a Rv manufacturer that was in business from the late 50's to about 94 or so. I suppose I should have said it was a travel trailer, but a very small one. About 10'x7' inside dimensions with a 20 gal fresh tank, 3 burner stove/oven,sink, wet bath ( no shower) and small kitchen sink. Here it is....

Ready for a trip to Maine a dew years ago.

As to the shed experiment, I'm not quite sure what you mean, I think that was posted by someone else.
