New here and New to having a vintage trailer

I would start by going to mobiltec's canned ham trailer videos and spend the time watching them. They will save you time and money in the long run. Don't be afraid to do what they say, even though much looks scary these trailers are very simple construction and you will be amazed at what you will wind up with. Most things only require simple tools. Then if you get stuck get on here and ask questions, pictures help a lot.

Welcome aboard! Nice Tag-A-Long....Like it like it!         It looks like it will need a few things, but as you get used to looking around you will find the whole process a lot less terrorizing. I know what it was like trying to start on my first projects, and without any experience or guidance, it can be really daunting.

One of the things I always recommend is to spend some time with it. Take a cup of coffee and just sit, and try to picture how you will want to use it. Seeing yourself relaxing with it, after all the work, is one of the best places to start. You can visualize what utilities and what features will be important to you, and then decide how to make them work for you. Inspect all the little things, and see what needs what. Then you can better know what questions you need to have answered. There are certain points that always need to be addressed, such as suspension, brakes, tires, rims, propane systems, and on and on it will go. You will find that as with anything else, one thing will lead to another. Since there is not any one set absolute way to do things, a lot of how you proceed will depend on how you perceive as you go.

The videos ( http://www.cannedhamtrailers.com) are a good place to start to learn what makes your new obsession  best friend tick.  Just don't let yourself get overwhelmed by all the information, and the fear that absolutely everything will be wrong and need replacing.  It often is "worse than it looks" but at the same time, there are plenty of choices and tricks that can narrow down the need for complete rebuild. 

It will be like any other project...a lot of little projects that add up to the whole.   

(wlcm)What cool little trailer! Be prepared. You're about to join the ranks of the obsessed. The more you do to it, the more you'll want to do! Is that a cook top and a fridge? Nice looking table. That's real important to some people Congratulations on your new vintage trailer.

Thanks SusieQ! SusieQ it has a cook top...no fridge..icebox. pathfinder3081, yes it was a good price....we got it for $500! Not bad! I’m just not sure where to start...want to pull the AC out of the back and put a window to replace it with. Also there is some water damage in the back where the AC is. Never done this before, so a little nervous, but excited at the same time!
