1969 Hi Lo Bon Voyage 209 overhaul

The bed in the back is barely a full, I wasn't happy with the size for me and my wife, so I gutted the rear portion of the trailer to make room for a queen sized bed. I removed all the appliances, and only plan on putting the sink and fridge back in.









And after with the queen sized bed area



Shortened version of the dresser/closet



New sink location after removing the stove

I'm jealous. Looks like the "bones" are fine.

I keep wanting to get an "oldie but goodie" to rebuild; problem is driveway is already filled with the 5er. So I just keep piddling around adding/changing etc.

Good Luck,
Doug

Thanks for sharing and please, keep us updated. I like to see vintage units maintained and restored.

I wouldn't be jealous, my wife and I have been calling it the turdmobile. lol There's hardly any exterior paint left on it, everything needs resealed, and it didn't come with anything, like stabilizer jacks, spare tire, wiring. It was basically just a shell.

It looks like it's in solid shape though. Looking forward to the changes you make and the final outcome.

Just a quick update of the sanding I've been doing, quite a difference, pretty nice wood underneath the faded sticker paneling.

Finally doing some painting, always liked 50's colors.

It's coming along nicely.

I love this kind of build / re-build. Remove what you don't need and reconfigure for your needs.
