I'd wait.
1. Its not that long until Easter (10 weeks).
2. The weather will be better for building a new one after Easter.
3. There is not a lot wrong with the one you have built.
4. How would you improve the design?

Well, if you can afford it, just build another one anyway. Sell the existing when your done.

It's more of a space thing ...I haven't got room for 2
But there is also the question of do I buy a new fridge .. Or use the one out of the old trailer ?
The heater
The shower
The electrics
Etc etc
Then what if I can't sell itG4 Gone ...but not forgotten
Ade here's an idea, now Ive got a roof tent sorted, I'll look after, store your white trailer whilst you build a new one
Then once the new one is done, you can decide to swap the kit or not and sell the one you decide you don't want to keep Altox GSM FBH controller thread

Seems to me it would make sense to keep your chasis, therefor the build won't take as long and you know your Sankey chasis is sound and fit for purpose.
It would imagine that you could build a new top section and then sell the existing top section.
( either before or after Easter )
I know of a chap, Stafford way who's looking at various options for his Sankey chasis.

Ade if it was me I would gut it,remove from chassis,keep that as your base it's already the right length and save a load of time and money and in 8weeks your have a new top ready to go on in time for Easter
