Hi...new member here. I just bought a 1971 Aristocrat Lo-liner this past weekend. I have been researching and learning all I can about vintage trailers and finally found one that
1- seems to be in very decent condition (nearly all original)
2- fair price
3-close enough to go inspect, buy and trailer home
SHORT STORY: I would greatly appreciate a recommendation for someone near Sarasota, Florida with experience removing the skin and repairing wood in vintage trailers.
LONG version: While it does appear to be in very good shape, I can also see that it needs some repairs. The most concerning one is wood rot in the corners and bottom of walls ( under the trailer). The floors seems solid, walls and inside seems solid, with exception of a few little spots in corners and behind toilet. I understand that only way to fix is to "peel the skin". I may be able to manage this part, but will need help with the wood work and would really love someone to help me with the project, being my first time. I know at the very least I will need to remove all the edging, windows, and door to reseal with butyl/RV putty.
Anyone know someone I could contact? I am open to a mentor helper or professional.
THANK YOU!!
