This is the story of Butch "Cassidy" - a 1957 Shasta Model 1400. At 55 years old, he is beginning his new journey... To be known as Cassidy.

All that extra stuff is way cool. I am quite envious of how great shape that looks to be in. This trailer looks so much like mine, which is a 1500. Here's the difference the 1500 is 6'6" wide the 1400 is actually 7'8"wide. other than that I am not sure that there was much of a difference. They are both 14ft trailers.
I am quite envious! Did you get it from VikX? Shop looks familiar.

Vikx is the other half of Trailer Partners in Crime. We've got it bad...
We're not positive Sundance and Cassidy are 1400s; I assumed they were smaller. Thanks for the info. I'll see if I can measure tomorrow.
Cassidy was supposedly stored in a barn until the last couple of years. We got it in the nick of time-another winter and he would have been a lot more damaged. As it is, the trailer itself is in good condition with no rot that I've found. It is, however filthy dirty. 55 years worth...

The assessment on Day 1 - he is dirty. 55 years worth of dirt. He has not been loved. At the Front Door and Under the Table Day 2 - Cleaning - Yep, there's the original floor. Looking better! Poor Vikx. At the Front Door and Under the Table - Looking Way Better!

Looks great! Does the cat come with it or does he/she already own you?

Yup, that's linoleum. Gorgeous "pattern" with all the colors, too.

Thanks, I'm more worried about the trolls than you all... Parts shopped today; lack of trailer work bugs me.

Now THAT would be a trip... just drop in on everyone as I go and fix a little something here and there. Sounds like FUN to me.
