Just a question Mike. Are you coming down to Pismo Beach next May for th 'Vintage Trailer Rally'? You can see pictures of the first one at http://gages-56.com/Pismo2008.html . Don't know if you've ever seen my 56 Dalton. I've been thinking about a 17" 'drop down' for it.

propane tanks

Postby mvperini » Thu Oct 21, 2010 4:03 pm

hooked up the propane tanks and checked out the stove and oven both work great
Image

Also took the trailer down to DMV to have the title changed and new tags :shock: only cost $217.00 for 2 years on a 16 foot trailer

glass

Postby mvperini » Thu Oct 21, 2010 9:32 pm

found some really nice pieces of glass today at the recycle place in town, I have been trying to decide what to use on the counter to seperate the sink from the bedroom area
Image

Image
Of course they wanted an unheard of price of $1.00 a piece so i bought a few more :lol:

Nice addition Mike...I did the little aluminum rail on mine, but that will cut down on any real splash. Now go get a chrome license plate frame! ;) Doug

little details

Postby mvperini » Sat Oct 30, 2010 10:26 pm

Ageless wrote Love those little details! And old Ford tailights too.

Well here are a few more little details. building corner shelves for the bedroom area and installing more 110 outlets, one for the tv and dvd player and one for the heater

Image

Image

Also found that the title for the trailer is incorrect the trailer is only 15ft total lenght not 16.5 and the trailer it self is only 12.6 long which means i do have a tiny trailer
