The old trailers do work with propane! So, if you have a stove in the trailer it is do-able. I am part of a Facebook group called Girl Camp Canada. I think there was a turquoise set on this week for cheap. Search for the group and you should find us. Other sources are kijiji, ebay, and etsy. Search under Vintage trailer parts.

Have you considered just refinishing? The finish quality would like be better than finding used damaged items.
You can paint, powder coat, or use porcelain. Turquoise, or Aqua is a tough color to match. Over the years it morphed from green, to blue in later RV's.

I was looking for info on "kitchen stuff" and wandered onto this thread....I know that it is almost a year old but it sounds as though we had a "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" situation here. I hate to think of you wonderful, knowledgeable folks, Mods and Admins having to deal with anyone that would come onto this site with a harmful intent. Anyway - just wanted to say thanks for all you do in keeping this place open and a treasured resource!
