Hi All,

I do not own this trailer.

This is a 1958 Shasta and it is for sale. It looks to be partially gutted. I don't know if the dinette cabinets are still there.

To replace the cabinets in the appliance section, would you go to to a cabinet maker to have them built? Would you find suitable appliances on craigslist or ebay first, and then measure around them to calculate the dimensions? What options are available?

What else appears to be missing?

Just so many questions...

thanks

Rod

This trailer is in rough shape; appears to be a total build.

That being said, dinettes are easy to frame. Most cabinets are... I would build them myself.

Try to find original appliances. Princess stoves are the same dimensions; not hard to build the stove area. They need to set off the wall 3 to 4 inches according to the back splash size. It's best to find the appliances first, yes.

Also, no need to have any appliances to start with. Keep it simple and add as you go.

One picture doesn't tell us much on what is missing...
