Hi Nancy, we were just looking at an 18 foot trailer this morning. It looked like it would work well for what we need. I will need to look into how much it would be to ship it over from Seattle. I know a car is about $900 but I wonder if I would need to put it in a container, if so it would be over $3000. Tents on a platform might not be a bad option either. I'm still searching for a trailer to buy on the island somewhere. I am a bit concerned if the trailer would ever get used again after the house if finnished. We love to camp but I haven't camped on the Big Island yet to know if trailers are ok there. I really like the idea of staying on the property while building, save on rent too. besides we have cats and not many rentals are open to pets.
