The retail cost on most items is about 4x the mfg. cost. That is not the case here. Lets just say that if you could build that for under 5k you should go for it Rip.
Remember there are codes and standards that motor vehicles (even trailers) must comply with. And don't forget the plumbing, electrical and safety equipment.
My guess is that in your garage... if you are very talented, you might be able to duplicate it for 9k.
