You're as brave soul. I get nervous hauling an old unrestored camper more than a couple of miles.

It was Nerve Racking for the first 150 miles, well so was the rest of the trip but i figured If it made 150 it would make the rest
I do know don't ever put car tires on a trailer they made the trailer sway but that's what it came with

looks like it has the wood rot in the usual places, most all of the original fixtures are there, even has wings, and seats, definitely a good one for a rebuild, congrats!

The hollow core door fronts are easy to make if they are missing. Looks like a good starting point. Let the fun begin!

Just so you don't find out that it's followed by a freight train! Good day for painting here in the PNW. Not too warm, nor too windy, nor too wet. That happens what, seven or eight times a year. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Pretty sure I have that small vent, but can't guarantee it.. Give me a day or two to look around. If I find it it's yours f.o.c.

I think the rubber bumper is a plug...sorta like a boat plug. It's there to drain the water out before it fills up above the windows.....
