Here are some shots that I took before starting the demolition, er, dismantling of this trailer.
|
| Front sofa with a happy little camper. Note the "vintage" electric heater that was hardwired into the trailer and bolted down under the front gaucho. Of course, it was right inside the door, so the fire could block the exit. How thoughtful! The better option is to go with something new. |
 |
| Rear area. One of my favorite accessories is the leather knife sheath that's screwed to the wall. Very chic! That turquoise vinyl curtain on the counter is from the bathroom window. |
 |
| This is a non-original Dometic three-way refrigerator. I was pleased to see the original metal ice cube tray. Of course, the fridge doesn't work. Thankfully, new options are available. |
 |
| Original Hydro-Flame furnace. Don't even bother. The better option is to go with something new. |
 |
| Kitchen |
 |
| This is looking up at the range hood. After I removed the filter, I looked up inside the the vent opening to find 40 nasty wasps staring at me. I got my can of wasp and hornet killer. There was just enough left in the can to piss them off. Fortunately, I escaped without incident and was able to finish the job. |
 |
| Magic Chef stove and oven. I don't think we will reuse this in the new design. The stove has been sold to carry on the lives of at least two other Magic Chefs. |
 |
| Original Thetford porcelain toilet. This may have been the single most important reason I bought this trailer. I just hate seeing those old, discolored plastic toilets in these trailers. Thankfully, suitable new options are available. |
 |
| Bathroom sink and original shower head. |
 |
| For whatever reason, a previous owner painted the shower pan. The softness at the rear of the shower foreshadoowed the rot I was to uncover later. |
 |
| One of the previous owners did a lot of extraneous wiring. This wall had lots of switches, a speaker, a 12V accessory outlet, an interior/exterior thermometer a TV mount, 300ohm (flat) TV antenna wire, and lots of little plastic labels from decades ago. And don't forget the only damage to the upper streetside cabinet; those lovely holes hacked out for a speaker. |
