Hi Friends,
In trying to update my profile picture I stumbled onto a '55 Rod and Reel like mine! I found it on Flickr and narrowed it down to this album. www.flickr.com/photos/31438555@N08/albums Hopefully the link will go through. If not, click on Mandalshells photostream link and then Click on the 55 Rod and Reel album. It has a bathroom and a shower unlike mine which came with a heater and nothing else.
I just pm'd the owner of the album through Flickr to see if I could get any more information on it. Waiting for a response. Then, I read the description of the album. In it was just this: This trailer was kind of passed down to us, not sure what were going to do with yet. At first we thought we could restore it but that would be a big expense, then we thought of salvaging what we could. But for now, its sitting in our yard. It was pretty messy inside but in good shape. I don't think it got used very often and there's very little water damage. Manuals to the refridgerator and the oven were in the trailer as well as the original paper plates from the dealer.
I cringed when I read that they were considering salvaging what they could. My heart sank and I got sick.
I have no idea how old the album is. Maybe the trailer is long gone. It was nice to see outside of an inch of dust, the interior wood was in good shape. And then I saw the brown Rod and Reel stripe. Curious color. Mine has what I think was originally a baby blue.
I will post any news of a response.
Cheers,
Rod
