Re: [a/s] Don't wait to do it!
Jay,
Unfortunately the Bubble is at a storage place until the trailers in the
yard are sold and out of the way. I had removed all the doors and
drawers and stowed them in the basement. Last month I finally got them
all refinished. The most I can do now is to clean, polish and repaint
the hardware but, by golly, you reminded me there was at least something
I could do. Thanks. We'll have to get to at least one rally this
summer. I am going to transport the 26 footer to my Mom and Dad's home
in Idaho in July. There is a family reunion and it will offer a few
beds for family members. It will be no longer at the storage place
costing me each month. Finally will whittle the trailer collection down
to three that will be used. The Bubble for single trips with my dog and
location shoots, the 22 footer for trips with company, and the 26 footer
as a vacation/starter retirement home in Oregon.
By the way, I am planning to have a metal shop cut replacement panels
and bead the edge for the bashed ones in the Bubble. Do you or does
anyone else have experience in replacing the end cap panels on a fifties
unit? I am planning on buying aluminum with the thickness and number
Jim Weston recommended (go to search those old emails to find it), then
getting the olympic rivets and the shaver and just going to town. Any
cautions or advice on this process will be greatly appreciated.
