I had it up on the lift, so I didn't have to crawl around on the floor. I removed the lower skins today. Plenty of room for the tire, probably 1 1/2" from the bracket. There is some noticible drooping to the street side wall as you predicted. Is there a thread on fixing this? Oo

I like the Sherwin Williams paint. They sell a primer for slick surfaces such as paneling, it's a must. I painted the interior doors in my house with the primer and S.W. paint and they still look great after 6 years.

I've just begun work in my first vintage trailer, a 1966 Lo-liner. It is in pretty good shape for its age, but definitely is in need of some love. No visible leaks in the roof, some staining near the front and rear windows. The floor is solid. There is rot in the lower sill plywood on all four corners and the rear trunk area. I pulled off the front skin and was happy to see no water damage other than what I allready knew was there. I also pulled all of the street side windows and door ant all of the framing looks good. So far, I am pleased with what I have found. The worst part is trying to clean off the 10 tubes of silicone that were applied everywhere! The rear window is a disaster, plexi glass glued in with tons of caulk and silicone. I added som pics of the Good, the bad and the ugly below.

HI, My name is Trey, I'm in Northern CA, on the coast near Eureka. All the windows and trim are coming out and as much of the skin as needed for repairs. I've got the front loose to the first seam, but it sure doesn't wast to come apart, maybe I'll go ahead and pull the window and see if I can get it apart at the next seam. I do not see any damage to the framing in the front, just want to remove the lower skin to replace it. 1000 rusty screws and 10 tubes of silicone to remove! Thanks

Hi guys, I just started tearing into my first trailer, a 1966 Lo-liner. I started removing the front lower skin that is damaged and needs to be replaced. Any tips on separating the two pieces at the seam? I watched a video on a Lo-liner and the guy easily separated them, but mine sure seem to be crimped togeather. I'm thinking that I'm going to be crawling under there trying to carefully pry the seam apart? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

Dang it, every time I go back to PhotoBucket to get another link, my post is deleted?

Hi guys, I've been lurking for a while and thought it was time that I joined the forum. Thanks for all of the knowledge that you have shared. I just bought my first vintage trailer, a 1966 Aristocrat Lo-liner. We wanted a canned ham, but loved the Lo-liner's small size and expansive windows. It was also in better shape than most of the other trailers that we looked at, although it is going to need at least some rott repair. There is no visible water damage to the roof, but there are some signs of leakage at the front and rear windows, as well as visible rott to the lower wood that mount the body. The floor looks solid. Here are a few pics of it, on the 400 mile trip home at Crater Lake and at its new home in my shop. Also a pic of my 1950 Dodge and 1957 F-100 tow rigs.
