Hi Everyone!
I just bought a beautiful (will post pictures soon) 1973 Aristocrat Landstar. It is all original and mostly in great shape but still needs a little love. I'm planning to fix it up and want to use this thread for updates as well as for questions if anyone out there knows anything about this model of trailer.
To start, after buying it I had a tire shop put new tires on it so that I could tow it home.... turns out the drivers side tires on these old trailers are left threaded bolts and the tire guys didn't know that. They broke off three of them in the hub. Now it is going to take a week to get the trailer fixed.
In the meantime I'd love to order a new blackwater tank for it. Problem is, it is 2 hours away and I can't measure the tank until I get the trailer home.
I'm wondering if anyone out there has one of these and if they could tell me the dimensions of the area where a blackwater tank will go. I know it is a bit of a shot in the dark but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask.
Can't seem to find any info on this trailer online at all....
Thanks!
Kadin
I understand that a lot of people these days don't know about the left handed bolts. But, that is no reason that it should take a week to fix it ! After you get it home I would find a different mechanic. This guy doesn't know what he is doing.
Sorry I don't have an answer to your question. They used many different types and styles of tanks on campers over the years. You may not be able to find a answer on line. You might just have to wait until you can look at it yourself.
