The third trailer - a "wanna be"!

With a lot of attempts to find an used trailer, our brother in law, Marko, told us about another possibility: asking for the price for a new trailer made just for us.

I must say that the first thought was: I don't think a new one is sustainable! But being with this possibility, we wondered "what do we have to loose just by asking the price?".  And we didn't know the best prices in Portugal for an used trailer or a new one. This question could help us to have a better idea of what to choose.
We contacted Sr. Manuel, from the company "Cunha e Ferreira - Carroçarias".



We told him what we wanted, with all the details. It would be something like this:



Two days after, we received the news. A BIG news: 3500€!

We thought together and contemplated what we wanted with this house.

- Do we want it fast and for how long would we have to wait for a perfect used trailer?
- Should we ask for more prices for new trailers?
- Do we want local materials, including the trailer?
- Who do we know more that can help us to find a trailer?
- What are our values concerning the environment?
- How much money do we want to use only with the trailer?
- What if we wait and the trailer never comes?

After all these mental questions, the next step was obvious: to relax and surrender! We knew that the perfect thing would happen. We knew that life is magical. We knew that we were already surrended to the big mystery.
That was a confidence that everything was happening at the right time in the right circumstances.

So, we went to the factory "Cunha e Ferreira - Carroçarias" and spoke with Sr. Manuel. Just to know more details about the price that he gave to us and to make sure that that trailer (that doesn't even exist yet) was not the right one.
We left the factory and once again, we realized that, there was nothing else more to do except to surrender and to be open for other possibilities.

With love,
