I just acquired a 1969 LoLiner that needs extensive wood repair. I'm good at woodworking, have all the tools / equipment needed, just not the camper rebuilding experience. Is there a video or post somewhere that describes the correct order or sequence of disassembly of said trailer. I'm assuming start from the outside and remove the skin first to see the extent of wood rot. Thanks in advance!

Yes, that's my book. I've done 3 Loliners and welcome questions via email. Mobiltec also has videos up at www.cannedhamtrailers.com/ |

Thanks y'all. Vikx, can you message me your email or should I just use the message feature here on the forum?
I don't want to go about this the wrong way and create more work for myself...

If all areas of a camper are in need of repair would you start with the roof or one wall at a time ?

B 52 fan?
How's the floor. Everything else attaches to it.

Vicx and mobiltec told me to start with the floor, sills and skirt boards and work my way around. Your skin is all off I assume?

No not yet. I'm hesitant to remove all the skin at once since I don't have an indoor place to use as the weather gets colder and wetter. I'll have to use a tarp to cover anything I've exposed.

That's OK. I worked under tarps for 12 years. LOL... I'm the tarp king for sure. I teach piece meal type restoration and if your're going to do that start at the skirt boards like Wendy said, then go for the roof. Walls one at a time. Front and rear last. You can lift the skins to see how the skirt boards look.  |
