doors, put new window screens in every
window, put new blinds and curtains on,
made a new bathroom countertop and put
a new sink and toilet in.
I also put up mirrors in the bathroom and
created a mosaic border in the shower,
made new doors for the bathroom
shower cabinet, put in a shower curtain,
and ran a chrome look border in the
bathroom. I put two new roof skylights
on, fixed the awning and put a new red
and white striped fabric on, exchanged
the hot water heater, fixed the broken
pull-out table by putting a new hinge
on it. I also bought four original hubcaps
that I restored by polishing and painting
them. I had ePlastics cut out a piece of
plastic for me which I had made to fit in
the frame of the rock guard (yes, I learned
how to use a rivet gun), I also restored
and painted all the exterior emblems,
and last but not least I polished the
outside of the trailer to a mirror shine. I
did all the polishing by hand – believe it
or not – which took me six months! All in
all, the whole restoration process took a
little more than a year, but it was a great
learning curve and such great fun!
