![]()  Not sure if there are any Cygnet owners here but this is a 1975 made in New Brunswick Canada. This is my first trailer and will prolly have many questions as the weeks roll on. Thanks for having me.  |

Welcome to the madnes! I don't think that any of our Canadian members have a Cygnet,, or if they do, I h age missed them, so that makes all of us here us even more anxious to see pics of yours.

New Brunswick is just across the border from me, probably 45 minutes from my little spot in Maine. Congratulations and welcome.

For some reason your photos are not loading. Are you using photobucket?

That's the one Bruce.
I'll have a look tonight at the post on how to post pix here.
I've never had trouble before. They show up on my computer while I'm making a thread
and they are hosted on smugmug.

All but the first two in the post with lots of pictures.
Outside looks great. Looks like you'll have plenty of fun with the rest :-) Welcome!

Welcome to the forum. Are you a Canadian, or just own a Canadian trailer?
I am from Winnipeg and have a early 1960's Golden Falcon.

I would move slowly on demo. Many campers need the panels replaced working from the outside in. Your camper may be different. Do your panels run down the wall and end being sandwiched between the floor and the outer wall? If yes, that’s structural. Framing and edge board is almost impossible to replace from the inside. The skin usually has to come off.
Two great resources worth considering.
First, videos on demo and reconstruction at cannedhamtrailers.com
Second, a book written by our forum leader vikx.
Have fun.

Thanks nccamper. I am moving a bit slower now. I have half of the inside of the inside cabinets out
and will only do one corner at a time.
