If you look at the lowest cost trailer, that’d be like a family today making the average wage of about $68k paying $25k. A stretch, but these days you can make payments over a decade. I gu as the problem comes in when one compares the fit, finish and gadgetry of the higher-end models. It’s nice to have nice! And you sure do, you have done a wonderful job on your trailer!

Great job on this restoration! Do you have the name of the company you used for the drapery track?

Thanks!
Just back from a 2000 mile Thanksgiving road-trip sans trailer for a change... I sourced the curtain rack through curtain tracks dot com and it' 4108 Bendable I Beam Curtain Track. They also sell all of the brackets splicers, rings etc. for it.
Have fun!

Man, that's a beautiful camper. I love the front window on the Holiday House.

Would a snap on marine type cover work for the front window? Wrap around and install the snaps at the trim screws? You can also pad the cover with styrofoam to stiffen it...

Cool idea - maybe do that for the center glass section but I I'll stick with elbow grease to get the bugs off the rounded corner windows. They're made of plexiglass and scratch up very easily. Constant wind agitation even with Styrofoam spacers, etc. would be an issue there :-)... but you got me thinking about the glass part - would be a real B!^@& if that broke !!!!!!!! and your idea would block bugs and rocks.

Looks like you are missing the side stainless piece by the rear window used to separate the painted part and the polished part.

Good eye - I added the rear pieces on both sides in late June before I went to the All American Rally near Salem Oregon - they're kind of beat up but they are original equipment :-). I'm still debating whether I'm going to paint... I know they were all painted when new but I kinda like the all aluminum look. Paint indecision has kept me from getting one of the window eyebrows on as well.

You gotta paint it, it breaks up all the polished aluminum and gives it that look.
Also you have to cover up the Jane Mansfield area it was meant to be that way.
Match the blue from the front for the back and put a white stripe in the middle.
Mine are light blue in the front and back with the dark blue in the middle.
