Hi Jesse, Welcome to our little slice of the internet. I can't really help you with learning how to use a computer and these forums but we do have tutorials on this forum on how to post photos. The link is on every forum thread in here. I did a 1954 Aljoa and would be happy to share and exchange photos with you. If you know how to use email that would be a good way until you figure out the photo posting here. My email is mobiltec@gmail.com I also have hundreds of build videos on my website. www.cannedhamtrailers.comHere's just a couple of build photos of the 54 Aljoa I did.

Very old thread Whitney, but I've only known one other person who owns one of these and he said "just don't get a flat"... "EVER"...

I looked all the way through the Field Guide and didn't find it. There were a few that were close but not close enough. Still a fun looking camper though. Would be nice to see the inside.

Very Nice. I have warm interior envy. I am sure it's rewarding to pass these projects back to their owners, Larry. Do you ever get a feeling of sadness, accomplishment, or one of relief? Cheers, Rod Rod it's always bitter sweet to see one of your babies leave. You develop a relationship with them over time. But it's also a relief to be done with an obligation.

Welcome to the board. The people in here will help you all they can. Photos would be great so that we could see what you have to work with.

Stay tuned for photos of the inside.... Just beautiful! Don't make us wait too long for the interior pics. I'm taking a little time off and just relaxing. I'll get back to it shortly though.

And it's about time. In this photo I'm on my way south to deliver it to it's owner in Long Beach, CA. The round trip was a little over a thousand miles. I stopped here in front of Boundary Peak on the Nevada/California border. Seemed like a good place for a photo op. Stay tuned for photos of the inside....

One of my students went this year and took photos. His trailer is the first one. It's a 1967 Field and Stream. He still has work to do on it but it was in good enough shape to go to the rally. The Theme this year was "Carnival". And boy what a Carnival it was! I made up a video slide show of the photos Jeff sent me. Here it is on You Tube.

Under the undercut in front you will only want ONE piece of paneling for the radius and up to the undercut. Don't try to do that in two pieces. And on top in the rear you don't want a seam in the middle of a radius. You want most of the sharpest part of the radius to be one panel. Where you have a seam shown make that one panel. Most trailers have at least one panel that is only 18 inches to two feet wide and it's usually just forward or rearward of the vent. Mostly forward of it. That piece is there to use up scrap and to give you a place for an odd shape because of the fact that you start from both ends of the wrap and work towards the middle of the top. Then that last piece is that little one. Might be skewed a bit so you can use that piece to fill it all in nicely.

Nice... I'll let you know. Jewel emblems seem to be a rare item.
