I found 1/8" birch about 3 miles off our planned route, in Pueblo, Colorado. As we got near Pueblo, NewMexicoGal started calling lumber yards and hit pay dirt on her second call. Hauled it several hundred miles home.

Nice Compact! Have fun. Holler when you're going to wander around the southwest with it, especially if you come south into northern New Mexico. We're starting a home for wayward trailers :-)
And znorm, I've heard your story before. We met in Joshua Tree NP at Christmas - unless there is someone else who tells that same story!

What's a good pressure to put in the tires for a '63 Airflyte? Tires are 205/75 15s.
Thanks.

We're doing something similar with one side of Lula Belle.

8' is not "usually" long enough to fit around a even a small trailer table without an "extra seam". Good point. That table above is for a Compact, the 8' stick covered 3 sides - it's seamed at the back corners. There was about 1/2" "extra" at both rear corners - it was close.

Schweetcruisers,
Thanks for the offer! I can't ask you to bring me sheets - Denver won't be that far off my path and if I don't go there this trip, I'll go that way other times this year. Could you PM me the name of your lumber yard?
- Yas

This is great. The next happy soul who "likes" the ugly square ones might expect them in the mail. Hilarious!

We bought 4x8 sheets of 1/8" birch plywood in Albuquerque this fall when we were replacing the damaged parts of our Compact. We're bringing our Airflyte home next week (YAY!) - we'll be camping in it on the way home (YAY!) - and we know we're going to need to replace paneling under the leaky front windows and the door. But our source for the elusive 1/8" birch has dried up! Two questions: 1) I'm assuming the vertical panels on a '63 Airflyte are 1/8" and not 1/4". Correct? The Airflyte is still 900 miles away so I can't go out in the garage and check. 2) Does anyone know of a source somewhere along our journey? We'll have our truck, and the trailer on the way west, so we can transport 4x8 sheets. Amarillo Hardwood doesn't have any. Colorado Springs wouldn't be too far out of our way. We'll be near Springfield, MO, for several days, that would be the most convenient.
