I found one of Vikx' trailers at a rally. Some You Tube viewers of mine whom I've been in touch with for years now bought this trailer from Vikx three years ago and they love camping and rallying in it. Here's a short video tour and interview I did with Debra and Paul Strickland. You Tube Link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgLaUCeq_sI |

Thank you so much Larry! So much fun to see my Aljo again and enjoy. I would like to email with the owners as I have a few little tips about the trailer, so have them contact me if they want to. Here she is as she left my place: <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/53634851@N03/48978014678/in/dateposted-public/" title="005 v JoJo in the Sun (5)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48978014678_6558a38c29.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="005 v JoJo in the Sun (5)"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script> And as Paul and Debra got her: <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/53634851@N03/48978019643/in/dateposted-public/" title="JoJo RED"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48978019643_d8eac40a81.jpg" width="500" height="281" alt="JoJo RED"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script> They've made quite an improvement over the plain jane red... |

Hi Vikx Actually it was the lady that we bought it from that painted it red. Having grown up in the 50's and 60's I hated white walls so I had the tires turned around. I also took the massive Hadco brakes off that weren't good and put a little larger trailer tires. From there I put new springs ,shackle bushings etc,etc. And lastly, I found out from the previous owner what color red it was and painted the wheels to match. My wife handled the inside. She got the curtains, pillows , bed spread ,and all the knick knacks. She loves your little trailer.

Thanks for the info, debaljo! I knew that the seller had painted the red but you have improved it. Cleaning the eyebrows of paint really made them pop.
PM me for more Aljo info.
