I'm thinking this is a wood framed trailer,not plywood walls. If you look at the damage above the forward street side window it looks like stud impressions behind the metal. Also on the one Bruce posted looking at the trim on the window behind the sink,there's a good ledge there... Otherwise IDK..

I hope you are correct on the walls, TT. Makes for an easier build to me.

Well.... I see lots of water damage in those photos. Some repaired and some just shellacked over. I won't bother to list all the damage I found. Look carefully and you'll see it in corners, around the vent, bottom of the door and on both sidesaddle and under windows. I'll admit it's a nice trailer but it's got some rot. And if he didn't at least do a re-seal then that trailer is doomed to leak. Is it worth $10,500? Not in my opinion because it needs to be opened up. I have to admit I did not look at all of the interior pics of the one for sale. The price also seems too cheap for something entirely rebuilt. I was distracted by the shiny aluminum, and I'm not looking to buy. I want one to work on, I don't want to pay $10k for someone else's work. We like doing it ourselves.

You have to keep all those nice tools working or they will just collect dust.

I agree. Would rather find one buried in the mud than deal with a POs messes. I'm there right now with my 66 Kit. Lots of irritating little "fixes".
