Maybe I missed something. What is Elkhart?
Ok so if I replaced my 1986 30ft sailboat with a new one or modern one a $2700 two burner/heater stove combo using a diesel feed would be interesting however! $2700 plus selling the Diesel engine lands me in prime EV conversion budget for an excellent all electric sailboat setup. Which is where most sailors who sail a bunch are looking to go if they haven’t already made the switch.Okay it's me "expedition unobtainium type" invading on your Elkhart conversation ?
Theses oven / heaters by Walles xo duo look cool:

Carson does interesting stuff but you need to custom order it and yes I recall they are built in a very similar manner as wolf pup ie stick built. I have looked at there stuff. Its dated and mehh and price is about the same.Carson in SoCal has a good rep and makes a nice little 14 foot toy hauler, the Rebel, weighs in just over 3,000 lbs, dual axle. Probably a stick built tho, I never checked

Given your fixated on the fact that yes Forest River crap still has its place for the right price.. A $2700 two burner stove that then needs a diesel feed in a 20k trailer is a little umm ? goofy.
Wee roll are rolling sheds nothing in them. I’m a head of the game just getting a Eco pro whatever. If I were living out of the thing then probably not ideal. Given my use will be a few times a yr and for say the next 5 yrs. I’m not concerned. Again we spend more weeks sailing than land lubber camping especially these days with everyone “camping”.I apologize I did not realize they were so expensive. I saw them in the new AntiShanty Limited (70k). I agree with you that the craft off road builders seem to be in a race to over spec at times. Which is why they have gotten out if hand price wise. I have been learning from your posts as you know way more then I.
I forget where your at in regard to a trailer. Have decided or still searching? I do worry about the chassis on the mass produced rigs regardless of how much you get and can modify.
Have you looked at Weeroll trailers. They seem to make beefy aluminum (my preference) chassis. You could build from thier unfinished units. Maybe be under 35k
Finally, someone who gets it.Not hard to pick the trailer you like and reframe it to a narrow track... I did my OSB BOX last year and will do my work/cargo trailer next year. But beyond us few yokos I doubt the market exists for a commercial trailer builder to add the wheel well boxes from their 8' wide trailers to anything under 8' wide..... altho 40 years ago narrow track was the standard.
