1968 Blazon

Hi friends,

I recently created a thread looking for information on a 1968 Blazon I recently acquired. Figured I'd start a fresh thread to do a proper introduction of the trailer.

So here she is the day I went to initially check her out. The gentleman who sold me the trailer had originally bought her as a pandemic project. I don't know who he bought her from, but as he told it she was in pretty rough shape with quite a bit of water damage. He stripped out all the rotted wood and rebuilt the frame with solid 2x4 lumber rather than the original 2x2 (oriented sideways as to fit with the original trim). He ran all new electrical wiring (all 120VAC, two circuits from a breaker each with 15A breakers). He replaced all of the original insulation with brand new fiberglass insulation (R-13 I believe). He replaced all of the interior paneling on the walls and the ceiling. He also replaced the original floor joists and installed vinyl plank flooring.

I took my time inspecting everything I could, from the frame and the axle, to all the seals around the windows and doors, all the seams and corners and crevices. It looked as if the guy had done a pretty decent job. A week or so later, he and I agreed on a fair price and I brought her home. He also provided me a few dozen pictures from his renovation with all the studs and framework exposed, which was extraordinarily appreciated.

I just finished up my degree, and now my family and I are looking forward to spending some time making her ours. Then hopefully taking off for our maiden voyage sometime this summer! I will continue to update this thread with any relevant photos or other information.

Thanks for looking!
