Vintage Rebuild in Buffalo NY

[bullseye17]

Hi

My name is Tom and I just picked up a mid-60's era travel trailer (unknown manufacturer/model) to rebuild. It's 7' wide by 13' long (not including tongue).

It was already mostly gutted except for walls, and was being used as a snowmobile trailer (hence the horribly built rear door).

My goal is to turn it into a fairly simple trailer with a queen size bed, some storage, lighting, possibly a galley, and that's about it.

I am starting out by removing all internal wall/ceiling/floor panels to see how bad the rot and water damage is. The trailer frame looks good, along with the axle, wheels, etc. The frame is rusty, but not rotted, I think some POR 15 will be in it's future. The outside panels are separating in a few places due to rot in some of the wall framing.

I think my best option will be to re-skin the roof/front/back once the internal wall framing and floors are complete - which will allow me to put a proper rear galley door in (or delete the option completely, depending how how my designs align with the rear windows). I'd like to use Aluminum Composite Panels, but I'm afraid they don't make them in wide enough sheets (7'). Any thoughts?

Looks like a great project. Have fun.
