I thought I recalled you saying in a recent thread that you had a surprise, and were going to do something you said you'd never do. I thought this might be it. Still up and coming. That won't happen till around the middle of summer. And it's something I never thought I would do. Also something you people probably never thought I would do.

buy all your tools from China? (probably only funny if you've watched lots of Larry's videos like I have)

It's got to be going into the professional trailer restoration business.

I don't mind doing partials for people but I don't want to get into a business at my age. I'm retired remember.

So, is buying a trailer without a title what you said you'd never do? But then, you didn't exactly buy it. What I actually say is to do your homework before buying a trailer without a title. This one was legally junked so in order to gain title on it I had to get the current holder of the trailer to write out a statement of facts showing the DMV how he obtained it and now I have to get a brake and lamp inspection also. Then I can apply for a title from the DMV. And yes I didn't purchase this trailer, it was given to me so if I can not gain title to it I have lost nothing. So, Larry, Who wrote out the statement of facts on the trailer? Was that your friend who owned the land? Nice score! Rod

mobiltec, I hope you found a sweet piece of land within your budget and you are going to join the "landed gentry" club.

You know Bruce I have so many friends who are land owners and have given me full run of their places any time I wish, I really have no need to own property. I can go just about anywhere in the country and set up a trailer or pitch a tent. Some even have cabins and homes on them for me to use at will. Anything I bought at my age would just be like renting for a decade or two so why bother?

Shoot, free use of friends' property can't be beat when you are pretty sure you will not outlive a fixed 30 year mortgage, but if just a couple of acres of unrestricted land fell into your possession, I could see you creating a primitive camping park for a nominal donation per camper. Donation could be $ or a vintage trailer part.
