In 2014, with mortgage pressure mounting, Shaun, a trained welder, and Renee started buying cheap, damaged caravans. They fixed them up, sold them on, and slowly learned the craft of renovation. Their real breakthrough came when they bought a completely vandalized caravan and decided to live in it themselves.
They transformed that wreck into a stylish, functional mobile home—and something clicked. Today, they buy caravans destined for demolition for $8,000 to $15,000, invest a few thousand dollars in renovations, and resell them for $30,000 to $50,000. Often in straight cash.
