I agree with George - From your New Member post, it looks like this is your "full time home" as opposed to a "weekend camp trailer". If that is true, then don't think in terms of financial worth. RV Trader lists the value of your trailer in the $6K-10K range; doing $3K in repairs will likely not be a sound financial investment.

However, if this is your home, then you should go for it! You can do a lot of repairs and upgrades on your budget; you will get to develop some new skills, end up with some useful tools, and have a lot of satisfaction from going the DIY route. You won't get much if you pay someone else to do the work.
