Recently my Church organization give me a 73 Holiday Rambler Vacationer Travel Trailer. Reading the posting has helped a lot.

I'm a little lost as to what to check first, I do believe the roof had a leak, so that's the first issue. I did plug it in, but I believe the previous user of the trailer changed the fridge to a electric only. I've been reading about the braking system in this forum and need to determine what type, if any brakes are on this trailer. But, my final question is, should I even consider pulling this trailer with my Grand Marguis Auto?
Last question, first answer: There is NO possibility of towing a trailer of that size with the Mercury. The max tow capacity for any model of Gran Marquis is 2000#. The vacationer is going to be in the 5000# range.
I don't have the specs for the Vacationer but I need to find them as well as I'm building one myself in this thread. Take a look, see if yours looks similar?
There are other threads around here of folks working on other HRs. They are really well built, I would guess that's why they keep popping up around here! When you plugged it in, did you have 12Volts to the interior (lights/furnace/venthood)?
