Hello All. I have been digging deeper into the 63 Terry to find damages. Well, not good news. After removing the interior, I have figured out that the entire interior, frame and some skin will have to be replaced. Since there is no appliances, no black or grey tanks, I cannot see putting several thousand dollars into her. Is she was a 30' or better that I could use for traveling, that is one thing. She is a 15'. I have decided to part her out. I did however find a 1978 Prowler 5th wheel. It has everything and everything works. There will have to be some changes like the tall green shag carpet. LOL.

Do you have a truck big enough to pull it some of them old 5th wheels are really heavy? Also check the frame for cracks or damage where the angles change at the front. A friend I worked with bought a used 5 wheel a few years back it looked beautiful they bought a new hitch for their dually loaded up took off on vacation and about 6 or 8 hundred miles from home the front of the unit broke apart damaging their truck and ruining their vacation. Sold the trailer to the tow company for the tow bill loaded up what they could haul and came home.
