Greetings from the NW. Susan and I picked up our 1964 Aladdin 16' from a one owner who, for the most part, kept it stored. We towed it back from Spokane to Bothell WA. It has new tires and wheel bearings with electric brakes, although the brakes/part's are past their prime. The steel frame is in good shape with the usual 60 years of rust with no visible holes/thin spots, We do have some soft spots in the wood behind the wheels and rear corners. The skin is straight and no corners damaged...yet! All the windows function with screens to boot including the original roof vent and door. The exterior running, tail, and license plate lights work and I did put new bulbs in with some anti-ox. The interior is in great shape as well with the intact floor heater - jury is still out on its operation ( guess I need to put my 40 years of HVAC to the test). It has the original brass propane lamp WITH glass - and it works! There is a toilet with the gray/black water tank all this fed via the "air pump" steel water tank. Yeah...may go with a compost set up... The water system has been converted to shore hook-up so the original piping has been by-passed, The wood interior is in great shape with some noticeable water damage above the door. All of the 120 volt and ONE 12 volt lights work. The kitchen appliances, sink, teal OVEN -n- ice box function and are lookin' good. Even the Formica is solid. I used to work for Fleetwood Camper Trailers back in Omaha from 1980-1984. This may be a blessing or a curse, same coin! Let the adventure begin!
