My Mom bought this '56 Shasta in the mid-90's. I helped her at the time with some repairs and costs getting it safe on the road. For the last 15 years or so, a friend has used it for music festivals and camping and such. Now it's back home, taking residence at my house where it will be our "guest cottage". I hope to also get it on the road at bit this summer and autumn. Any pointers or tips are welcome. My plan is to keep it mostly original, but I will probably replace the internal wiring. There is some water damage on the wood paneling that I need to repair, but so far the frame is solid everywhere I've checked. I'll also pull most of the flashing and window/door frames this summer to get them sealed properly (and eliminate the sloppy caulk job!). Eventually I will polish and repaint. Here are some photos: ![56 Shasta entrance side](http://dariusdunlap.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/06/img_4287-1.jpg) ![56 Shasta Backside](http://dariusdunlap.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/06/img_4310-1.jpg) ![56 Shasta Interior](http://dariusdunlap.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/06/img_4315-1.jpg)

Welcome!
I love your camper. Great shape.
To Replace wiring and repair panels with water damage you’re going to have to pull the skin off. That will tell you everything you need to repair. Thanks for the photos.
