A few thousand for the trailer and then price out the RV appliances.
Slide mechanism, He's got a couple grand just in wood. Wire, glass windows, A/c units, etc.. etc...Have you price diamond plate? (which is not in his cost spread sheet). Just doesn't add up. If you check his spread sheet , plenty of items missing and the prices on some items, are well............. Really unbelievable, IE: RV window $10, Tub surround $10, Skylight $10, 22 rafters for $22...
Sounds like a fisherman. Other than that , he did a awesome job and still saved himself a bundle.

I was wondering if he didn't buy some of his stuff from a salvage yard. I ran across a link once for a trailer salvage place in Missouri... I think, that seemed to have cheap prices. I would imagine there is others scattered across the country. It also seemed that some of his lumber didn't look brand new either , but who knows but him. It still looked good when he finished and can imagine the hours, days, months, spent in planning....Ken

He did indeed purchase as much stuff as he could from salvage yards to do it as cheaply as possible. It just goes to show that a little effort and time if you are willing and capable can pay off big. I think he did a great job and his cost constraint was fantastic! Wish I had that type of energy.

I personally think the man is, not only a craftsman, but a gentleman that should be complimented for his work, the documentation and the fact that he is willing to share the details in pictures as well as time and cost. From me, I say, well done.
