I saw this post on Facebook today and had to share. It was advertised for sale as.. "Doesn't leak, has been re-sealed!"

It maybe funny, but I have used almost a full roll of Gorilla Tape on more than one occasion in towing home a rotten derelict trailer! After the edge wood is completely rotten, nothing holds the skin onto the trailer, and it just flaps in the wind.
But you have to laugh at they way things are marketed, I guess you could make a case "that it was sealed", but "no leaks" might be an overstatement! LOL

That's funny. How much is it selling for...if it's low enough, I may really learn to love it.

It probably leaks less than the usual "caulked and painted over". Hey, maybe this is the new definition of "restoration"

I saw this, too and thought if they had used black duct tape it would have looked like Frankenstein trailer.

A add for my 1949 Silver Lodger said it had "extra thick" insulation. That would be the 1/8" paper product they put between the aluminum and the 1/2" plywood sides. Yea baby, that kept the heat at bay.
