HAND-CRAFTED VARDO-STYLE TRAVEL TRAILER, AND MORE

Lou Brochetti is selling his somewhat famous hand-crafted vardo-style travel trailer. Lou used to be a builder of custom wood boats. All that skill and care went into the construction of his trailer home. Here are some specifics:

7x15 feet
Heavy duty purpose-built chassis
Timbren off-road suspension

Rigid foam insulation throughout
Double-pane windows

450 watts of solar panels
470Ah, four 6V flooded cell batteries
Bogert Engineering charge controller
Bogert Trimetric 2030 battery monitor
Samlex 600W pure sine inverter

12V Nova Kool 3.5 cubic foot refrigerator
12V Nova Kool 2.5 cubic foot top loading freezer

Nature’s Head composting toilet
Eco-Temp on demand water heater
Two burner propane stove
Olympian Wave 3 propane heater
Copper propane piping
Fan-Tastic vent

12V 19-inch TV/DVD and digital antenna
ARB awning

Can be towed by a mid-size pickup truck

But that’s not all. 

His large landscaped and improved space at Coyote Howls East Campground, in Why AZ, can be part of a package deal. Campground regulations allow current lease holders to decide who leases their space next.

Improvements include an 8x10 storage shed, washing station with water filter, and wind/privacy screens.

(The white storage trailer visible in some photos is not part of the package.)

Here’s a link to photos of the vardo and campground space.

It is really built out and ideal in almost every way. His boat building skills really show. I don't know about anyone else but I am sure courious if he will build another and how much this one will sell for. He always said he would not build to sell and yet here it is for sale. Someone is going to get a really special trailer. Best wishes Lew in selling your trailer.

He bought some property and will be building a small house for himself there.
 
Thanks, I'm glad and am sure it will be a dandy house if it is built anything like his trailer! RVSue and Lew all in the same week!
