I finally got it!

[Woodbutcher]

Here are some interior pictures. I think everything is original. The (Coleman) stove works and so does the heater. The fridge runs but does not get cool. That may be a problem. The Luci and Desi beds in the back have reclining backs. They were covered with a sheep skin and when I tore that off there are 2 different fabrics on the beds. I believe the bed on the left in pic 3 is original. It's a corduroy, with a southwest theme. But I could be wrong. The walls are a pale green and flaking in some spots. They will get repainted. Carpet will come out and some kind of tile or vinyl will go down. I need to see what it had originally. Table drops down to make a second sleeping area.

That is a cool old trailer.

Thanks for looking, I knew when I first saw it I wanted it. But it seemed so big. Well I guess coming from a 9' teardrop it is big. But being able to pull pants on in the morning by standing up will feel good. Now I just need to figure out what to do first. It misses fitting in my barn by about 4-5". So today I went to see if I can get another panel and make my 8" door a 10" door. Sure would be nice to keep it inside.

That's amazing!

Is it one-skin thick or does it have an exterior interior with insulation?

That's going to shine up good.

Tony, the inside is constructed the same as the outside with aircraft aluminum and all riveted.. There is a frame work with insulation between the layers. There is also a full belly pan under the trailer. So with all metal walls and a full skin underneath it makes running new wiring a challenge.

Steve, so excited for you! I know you've been trying to make this happen for a long time. Can't wait to watch the progress on this resto!

[wincrasher]

What an epic project this will be!

Lots of work, but doesn't look too tough. Have fun with it. You're going to have a very special, and quite valuable vintage trailer when you are done.

Good luck!

[Woodbutcher]

I have to say I am exited and relieved to finally get it. But when all was said and done the old owner knew he was never going to use it again. He could see I was going to give it a good home. Now I just need to add 2 ft to the height of the barn door so I can get it under cover.

Congratulations Steve,

What a great ol' gal you have there! She looks pretty intact too. I can't wait to see what you do with her.

All the Best,

Dave
