Wow, I can’t believe it’s been 2-years since I’ve posted to this thread.
Our original plan was to build a house on the property. But as time has gone by our plans have changed. The main considerations were the high cost of construction, stringent California building codes and the increasing wildfire risks. When you add it all up it just didn’t make sense to build. So we decided to put a trailer on the property.
We ordered a 2021 Cedar Creek Cottage 40CRS
Cedar Creek Cottage | Forest River RV - Manufacturer of Travel Trailers - Fifth Wheels - Tent Campers - Motorhomes back in August. We chose a destination trailer since they’re bigger and more like small home. Plus it gives us the ability to move it if necessary.
We had to fall about 50 trees to make room for the trailer. Work started a couple months ago and the grading started this week. We will have a water tank, grey water drainage pit, septic tank, generator and 250-gal propane take to feed the trailer and generator.
The trailer was purchased from a dealer in Illinois because it was about $20k cheaper then buying it here in California. Granted I’m going to spent $3,600 to transport it here but it was well worth the savings.
We’re hoping to have the trailer setup by Christmas. Here’s some pictures of the first day or grading.
