I'm most likely way over my head with my trailer! I purchased my '69 Globetrotter two years ago and have slowly been trying to restore it to a functional state. I have kept all the original components and am in the process of rebuilding interior cabinets, bed frames, etc. (this task is really not an issue and has been enjoyable) the subflooring however has become a monster!
My father and I gutted majority of the trailer in our pursuit to replace the subfloor. It has water damage like most trailers its age (along the side walls - under windows and door frame). We were able to replace the subflooring in the back end of the trailer (about a third of the entire floor).... following all the instruction we received for the forum (thank you so much for the tips guys). However this construction took us 3 months and was not the most pleasant father/daughter bonding we have had!
So I have decided to bite the bullet and send my trailer into a shop to have the entire subflooring replaced (including our three months of sweat, blood, and tears). I know that this will be a very costly experience however I'm looking for some advice on what a reasonable estimate would be. I have attached below an estimate I recently received. This is the second shop I have approached about the job. The first one was really not an enjoyable experience. The dollar amount mentioned was above what I was expecting. My Globetrotter is a gem in my eyes however according to standards has lost significant value due to one exterior puncture wound. Therefore I'm not ready extreme amounts of money back into it.
My original intention was to have the shop do a Shell-on Replacement. I also wanted them to avoid dropping out the belly. My trailer is already missing the belly in the back end so I figured that would allow them to work around without dropping the rest of the belly. If anyone with some experience wouldn't mind looking over this quote and giving me their opinion I would greatly appreciate it. I am getting another quote this Friday but really need some advice as to what is necessary and what is unnecessary.
Also please ignore the cost for removing any interior parts. I did that my self after I received this quote.
thank you so much for you time
