Okay, I have searched high and low. If any1 on here has had a conversion done by an aftermarket company....how much did it cost? I know this is a repeat, but is it a situation thats going to cost like 10 grand?! Also, can you customize your own layout? I am just baffled. We want to get our done ASAP, but I dont know if I should even waste time contacting trailer aftermarket instllation.

A bare bones basic package from me is $1200 a foot on the short wall for 6' and up with holding tanks. Everyone wants different things the last half dozen or so trailers I have done have all had soft walls and that is $500 extra, or $1000 with rope lights in the ceiling. I just finished a "Toter" that is an extended hood Peterbilt with a 14' box added to it, it had a 7' slide-out in it. Soft walls, real hardwood, about 40' of rope lights, all solid wood cabinets and trim. He added an electric awning, ducted air, and 2 flat screen tv's total cost was just under $18K. I'll be posting pictures as soon as the dinette gets recovered.
I'm not a conversion company, I just do this part time. But, it should give you an idea of cost you will be facing.

We have been told to expect any where from fifthteen hundred to twenty five hundred a running foot and that was over a year ago. I can just imagine like anything else it would be much higher now.

You might give the Whinny Cargo folks a holler, they do lovely custom work and, while not dirt cheap, are a very good investment for the money. And they will talk to you!
