Well, I'm into it now. I already had a ton of house and yard projects, now I'm adding in a trailer restoration. But if it gets the family out camping more, it will be totally worth it!
Anyway, I do a bit of 3D photogrammetric modeling, so I'm going to show off my project in a slightly unusual way. First, if you have some red/blue 3D glasses, the 'photo' below will really pop! (red goes over left eye)
Second, you can explore my trailer yourself at theothersideofthenet.com/Shasta/Starflyte68.html
There are numerous things to do on this trailer, of course. In addition to lifting the skins and replacing any rotted wood, here are a couple particulars I am contemplating:
- Almost everything appears to be original. There are only a few spots of visible water damage on the inside; main one is by the AC on top. Floor seems very solid, though I noticed one or two spots that have a slight squeek (but not squishy), so I'm hopeful that the rot in the structure will be minimal. We will see...
- I'd like to remove as much as I can from the roof both for aerodynamics and for water resistance. I'm thinking I'll replace the AC with a vent/fan, then put a window-style AC under the Goucho Bed where it could blow across our feet. I've seen a few posts with similar setups and would welcome thoughts on this.
- I think some of the other stuff on top is from the propane fridge? I'll probably replace the fridge with an electrical one. I'm thinking purely electric rather than 3-way. Are there some styles that include an icebox capability with a tray to hold the ice?
Thanks for any thoughts! Have a great day!
