Greg,
Unfortunately I'm working today or else I'd take take you up on your offer. Did you have someone in Sandusky refurb your trailer? I like the fact that you fixed the trailer up but left it in "original" condition.
I love Cedar Point,(who doesn't), and look foward to our yearly pilgrimage. I have as much fun as the kiddies.
I have a cottage up near the islands, past Sandusky, and that's actually where I'll be working today. I'll probably pass by you on route 2(I-90). I'll keep my eyes peeled for your PUD. :D

Mark,

To bad we couldn't meet up in Cedar Point, Maybe this summer. The people who did the hard parts were Dan (his side kick John, and paint Godess Nancy) from VINTAGECAMOERS.COM located in Peru In.

If you go to the link below I just uploaded a ton of new pictures (the interior ones are just for you)

Just got home it is 5 o'clock.

She pulled nice all the way, but I can tell the weight difference..

I'm going to get her weighed Monday or Tuesday. From the factory I believe she started out at around 750 pounds, I'm guessing that she is now around 1150.

Have fun with the photos.

Hey Wimperdink,

Glad you liked the stickers, most of the people on the road passing by seemed to enjoyed them too. Only got a couple of "looks" mostly thumbs up, and big smiles...

Sharon, Thanks for the kind words and the encouragement.

For photos of new look go here.

Greg,
Yeah, sorry I missed you. Duty calls. I'm rehabbing this cottage for a close friend and need to have it ready for the season . I can see Cedar Point across the bay,hop in the boat and it's a few minutes away. Much faster by boat. And no crowds.
Thanks for posting recent photos.They did a real nice job.

Happy Camping!

Cheers

Got her weighed today.

1460 pounds. Is that normal for a trailer this size?

She is heavy but I still love her...

I've been watching this refurb from the sidelines, as a friend of mine had one back in '98-'99 that I almost bought from him. You're makin' me wish I would have ...!

Sure turned out nice, Greg ... congrats!
Now, get out there and enjoy it ... :thumbsup: ...!

CHEERS!
