Up for sale is our personal camper. We upgraded to a newer version of the same trailer.
2005 Work & Play 38FK Fifth-Wheel Toy Hauler
$16,500 OBO
The only reason we are selling this trailer is because we found a larger Work & Play that better fits our family’s needs. Otherwise, we would keep this one and continue the repairs, upgrades, and interior updates we had planned.
We have used this trailer while repairing and upgrading it over the years and have traveled the country with it.

CONDITION
This is a 2005 trailer that has been used and enjoyed.
The exterior gel coat has fading from age and sun exposure. Our plan was to polish it as part of the exterior refresh.
The floor and ramp door have areas of water damage and rot that will require repair. With the exception of the original water heater, which failed or leaked and was replaced with the tankless unit, the known water damage existed before we purchased the trailer.
Our plan was to remove the interior, repair the floor completely, and update the interior as everything was reinstalled rather than make temporary repairs. We found the larger Work & Play before beginning that project.
The trailer also has normal cosmetic wear consistent with its age and use.
The generator, electrical system, both air conditioners, fuel station, water heater, and appliances function as they should.
Clean title in hand.
Message with any questions or for additional photos or measurements.
