Yep. I did it again. Now I've had my eye on this trailer for 5 years. Ever since I moved to Northern Nevada this thing has sat right off the highway just a few blocks from my house. I talked to the owner twice to no avail. So I gave up. Then one day I noticed the house for sale and people removing stuff from the garage. You guessed it. He died. So I threw a $500 bid at it and won.

Now I know what you are thinking. "But Larry!" "You're a canned ham guy"... Ya I know. But many of my students are buying newer trailers like this now so I figured I better hurry up and take one apart so that I know how they go back together.

So here it is. The 1969 Siesta...

God grant me the strength to restore the trailers I can,
The courage to strip the parts off the ones I can't,
And the wisdom to know the difference...

You can probably save the interior, depending on rot. We all know it's there...

That's a nice little trailer. I like the proportions and how it is low to the ground. It's just the right size too. The shape reminds me of the Jayco that I rebuilt into a canned oyster.

Looks similar to one of the ones that was hauled off my families property.
