Re: 1950's Trailer Question
Thanks everyone for the info. It's not a Spartan, it's Boles Aero. I was going to help someone sell it, but now I'm thinking of just hauling it off to my place and fixing it up a bit to resell, or just clean up and keep. It's pretty dirty from sitting and they don't want to spend any time cleaning; they are pretty old. I just didn't want to haul it home, which will be a task, just to find out it's worthless. There's obviously a few things to fix, but it's really not that bad too my surprise. The stove is missing, the bed frame and table look broken but aside from that it's just dirty. The wood, and it's wood everywhere, looks nice. Plus fix that area around the ceiling vent that has loosened up and dropped a little. The rest of the wood ceiling is in pretty good shape. That was my main concern when I first entered it. I thought "if I go in here and the all the ceiling is hanging down, forget it". I'm fairly handy, by no means an expert woodworker, or plumber, but I'm a fast learner.365Views0likes0Comments1950's Trailer Question
I'm looking at an older travel trailer, 1952, that someone has had sitting on their property for some time. It's in pretty good shape considering it's age. The interior walls are wood, rounded wood ceiling, etc.. The only damage to any of the wood I see is right where the adjustable air vent is on the ceiling; a little water damage there, sagging a little. Is this fixable? I'll try and post a pic. Otherwise, what else should I be concerned with regarding it's condition to help prevent me from bringing home a complete money pit? Otherwise, it's looks in pretty good shape; no dents, just a couple broken pieces of glass. Thanks guys for your help,4.1KViews0likes15Comments
