I have discovered that when restoring these vintage trailers it is the little things that add up to make a very special trailer. the wife wanted to install a paper towel holder, so i have been on the outlook for a nice vintage one. and here is the results, i installed this on the inside of the cabinet above the fridge. easy to get to but out of the way.



i believe that the trailer will never be finished unless i sell it.



and the new tow rig

Lookin Good! The shelf on the cabinet door for spice jars, etc is a good idea, too.

I have been looking for some old style side marker lights the problem was the originals were 4 1/2 inches across and they had cut a hole in the side of the trailer and most of the lights that i liked were to small. found a set of new old stock marker lights that fit and look vintage
