My next project, 25' Traveleze

What a beautiful shape it has! 8 feet wide, WOW! And I'm worried about keeping a 6 1/2 feet between the lines after pulling a 4 wide, can't imagine 8!

Thanks Vikx, once we saw it we had to have it regardless of how much work it needs. Going to need plenty of guidance and information to get this one redone. Can't find much info on these trailers. We have to decide if we want to make it self contained or not. We need to add 12 volt. What kind of fridge to put in it. We have no idea what the dinette looked like or if it had table and chairs. Did it have a built in bed or? We want to keep it close to original but make it work for us. We will add AC and microwave, hidden most likely. Adding fresh, black and grey water tanks is one of my big decisions and can it be done, have to get a good look under the trailer when we get it home. The fresh water tank can go under the bed, possibly use 2 portable tanks? I want to have the plan outlined as much as possible before I take it apart.

I liked it when you were hunting it, I like it now! Very cool. Good luck with it - it can be really beautiful!

Hadn't thought about it being a park model. They wouldn't have had tanks, would they? (umm, duh.) Well ,whatever it is, it's gorgeous. Can't wait to see what you do with it. Our goal with Hamlet was to make it work for us, but unless visitors knew what the original layout was, they wouldn't know that it wasn't original. You could probably do something that would make it look that way if you wanted.

Very Sharp!! I love the windows too!

Nice trailer. You can have poly tanks made for both your fresh and black water, they are reasonably priced. The thing that I would caution you on is making sure you keep the trailer in balance, water tanks can add a large amount of weight and cause the trailer to tow miserable. Keep 10% of the total weight of the trailer on the tongue and don't add excessive weight to just one side. This not only pertains to your fresh and black water tanks but everything you add. Also your trailer only has a single axle so you need to weigh it to find its total weight then make sure you can buy tires that are rated to carry the trailer and everything you add plus the things you will carry such as food, clothes, TVs, pots, pans, plus everything else we carry with us. This is why most trailers over 18 or so feet have tandem axles. Also does it have brakes many park model trailers back then didn't,but in todays world you will be required to have them. You have purchased a beautiful unit, when you get it finished it will be a show piece without a doubt and with some excellent planning it will tow well and be very enjoyable. Have fun with it and post pictures as you go. As far as the eight foot wide if you have good mirrors that won't be a problem.

If it came down to it is there enough interior space to widen the wheel wells and go to duals on a single axle? Another thought would be a mobile home axle which would allow you to run some E or F rated tires with a lot more load rating. If I was going to pull it much I would want at least a 25% margin on the load and more is better. Some of my friends can't understand why they blow tires all the time on their big rigs and they load them to the max, I try to stay at 50% and never seem to have any problems. I agree that you could add a tandem setup but I like the way it looks now, also.
