'71 Starcraft Wanderstar- "The Hilton"

Westend I can totally relate to the pace of these trailer renovations. Being a building contractor I'm used to knocking jobs out quick, but holy cow working on my TT is taking forever it seems. One thing always leads to another. No place to buy anything camper related around here either so I'm often waiting for internet buys to get here. Good thing is I won't need it until May which give me plenty of time to finish. Keep up the good work!

Yeah, the space limitations and scheduling/planning change the game, don't they? I could have sided a couple of houses in the time I have into insulating the Hilton.
Since I've worked off blueprints for years, I took the time to draw up framing and electrical prints. Those were soon sitting inside a folder and I haven't looked at them but a couple of times,lol. I'm just hoping that I haven't forgotten a crucial detail. As it is, a lot of the work is beyond what Starcraft had built, originally, and I'm hoping it makes this trailer more livable. The Internet is just a real Godsend, IMO. This Forum and a few others have helped me muddle through a few issues and, with a lot of surfing, have turned up the parts I'm needing. PPL Motorhomes has a fairly broad range of parts and I scored the blackwater tank gaskets from them. Delivery time was very short, a few days, IIRC. Most of the other generic pieces I've either had in storage or was able to source through local sellers. I've also been lucky fixing what was original, the vent fan and water pump were easily repaired.
I'm hoping that I get my current work schedule caught up by the end of the weekend so I can get back to trailer work and am able to make some decent progress. Keep the faith, UP! Maybe we'll be parked next to each other this summer.;)
