This is a 1972 Shasta Compact which Bo and I purchased in November 2011.

The last pic is of our youngest son measuring for a new front window that he`ll build in place once we remove the UGLY air conditioner. The following is of the demolition which I really enjoyed . I did have a few areas where I couldn`t get a screw out, or whatever and had to call on Bo

Rear window had been leaking for years, so a po had covered the existing paneling with a sheet of treated plywood.

We found this metal strap and understand that other members have come across them in their trailers too. Its above the rear window and have no idea what use it was as it was attached at the bottom but not the top?

I managed to get the rest of the paneling and ceiling removed without a problem. Found plenty of rotten framing. Imagine that

Ripping all the interior paneling out did leave bits and pieces that were too hard to remove by hand and I was afraid to use the wrecking bar too much as I didn`t want to mark or damage the aluminum tracks too much.

Also found a surprising amount of clean dry insulation but we pulled it all anyway.

Sooo, the last 2 feet of the floor was removed (to the joint where the next sheet butts up).
