here's an old photo of a trailer similar to ours. the windows are all similar to ours so this is probably around the same year. maybe its the exact same trailer???
here's an old advert for shasta. the trailer above is not likely ours since there were over 38,000 produced!
this is one of my favorite pics on the web of a restored shasta. i hope to paint ours similar to this. not sure of the color we will use on the bottom portion, but it will be a dusty green or blue probably. we don't have any wings at this point, but i'm thinking about making some out of a water resistent wood like teak. if i can manage it, i would like to make a wood window cover for the front window as well. we'll see...
i hope to add a bunk to the back of our trailer similar to this. however, i plan to make it so it can be setup at night by adding wooden dowels and two pieces of plywood and then a foam mattress. i need to come up with an idea for a bunk ledge too so the kids don't go tumbling in the night...

Do share who did the new seats! They look great!
ReplyDeletehi, we had the seats done at The Upholstery Company in Mesa. They did a great job. I can't wait to get them in the trailer and see how they look. We had them done so long ago and I have so much left to do before they can go in!Just to confirm, ours are the yellow ones shown in a different post than this one. The ones in the pic above with the circle pattern are in someone else's trailer... Just wanted to make sure I noted that... Thanks!

hey i just took a gander at your most recent post...love the wings on the top pic. JD carves foam and hardcoats it and then you can paint it with car paint or any type of finish on it. lightweight, durable, weather proof. just a thought. anywho- we have to have you guys over!
ReplyDeleteholy crap, reminds me of my 1951 30' silver trail that I lived in for TWO years. this is a rad project.
