Having fun with the sisters
at Hot August Nights 2017
siding around the bed where it had also
rotted. He also totally rebuilt the front
end of the trailer and rebuilt the closet
side. We then installed a fridge that we
had rescued out of a 1977 Roadrunner
that we already had that was in pretty
bad shape. We were able to re-use light
fittings and the hot water heater from
the Roadrunner as well. So, my 1958
Oasis is actually made and put together
with the love from my husband and from
my sweet friends’ generosity and a mix
match of three different trailers!
Once the restoration was all done I loved
decorating it with things I had been
picking up for years at thrift stores. I had
bought the material I ended up using for
the curtains probably twenty years ago at
a thrift store. I wanted to keep the look
of a 1950s trailer. My favorite part of this
trailer, which I named “The Desert Rose”,
is the beautiful wood and the rounded
corners. Some of the wood where the
rounded edges are had water damage
also, so Dennis just put in new siding up
over the damage.
Most people who see my trailer love it.
Yes, it’s maybe a little girly, but, it’s so
homey and comfortable it puts a smile on
people’s faces.
