1947 Tourette Teardrop: I've finally got her home!

Yours looks in a little better shape, on the outside. But it looks terrific. Larry is the man on restoration. His is a treasure!
Thankfully someone had replaced my floor for me; but I was prepared to do what Larry did.
Congratulations on your trailer. I look forward to sharing with you and learning from you too!

Do either of you have the optional tent that snaps on to the outside? Mine does not have it, but I would be interested in seeing if this tent/awning making company in town can reproduce one that is quite similiar.
Also I am curious to find out what you guys are doing for cabinets that go above the wheel wells. The Tourett looks like it originally came with just a aluminum shelf with low rails. The shelf area measures exactly 21" deep, 21" tall, 5' wide. I saw in Home Depo kitchen cabinets that are prebuilt taht are 18", 18" 2.5' wide for $104 each. I could just mount 2 of those side by side. I thnk I want to go with something simpler, with a single 4 and a half foot wide door that drops down so that I can also use it as a little table when needed.

I have an image of the original ad which shows the tent.



As far as the cabinets go, I am still working to get my doors water tight. I have had to re-build the entire structure that was wooden. I would love to see what you decide for the cabinetry. Please show some images as you move forward with it!

The shelf above the wheel wells on ours is just a shelf. We keep our heater and fan there with a big screen TV.
