So this is one part curiosity and one part education for new members and the occasional seller who believes that a few hours and some elbow grease will get you a safe restored trailer.
Please answer truthfully, there is no shame in how much you spent!

Are we looking at total cost, including the original purchase price? Or just the restore itself?

I would prefer total cost of the restore itself, not including the trailer.

You're a hard act to follow, but since nobody else has jumped in, I'll take the plunge. We spent $2400 on our $300 1973 Shasta 1400. It was a rejuvenation, not a total restoration.

Not there yet as far as a final tally...likely north of 10K.

OK I don't usually do this because this used to be a hobby and I don't like to know what I spend on my hobbies. I once added up the receipts on a little 9 foot 1961 Lil Loafer built by Aristocrat and when I sold it I found that I made a total of $1.78 on it. So I never added up receipts again. I only sold it to buy another trailer a little bigger though so it was all good.
This morning after I completed the bed I decided to add up the receipts for the Shasta. I also kept track of any cash I spent not including gas. There was no outside labor other than the paint, upholstery, curtains and awning.
All together not including my gas or labor, the out of pocket cost for this 1957 Shasta 1500 was......
Drum roll please.....
$8096.74
