SPECIAL I could go
on and on about this trailer but in a nut shell
here's the bad and the good: The bad is
that there has been water damage in the past with
the most evident in the living room ceiling. Other
areas are in the cupboard over the refrigerator, the
hall closet, the front right corner over the sofa
and the wall, right at the floor line, under the
table. I've shown all these areas in the photos.
There also has been water damage you can't see,
namely the right front lower corner and the left
rear corner. Both areas are where the molding is
that joins the front to the back/front. All of these
areas have been sealed, but none of the damage has
been fixed. If you plan to buy this trailer and tour
around the country, don't. It simply won't stand all
the bouncing around without re-doing some of the
wood. What this trailer is ideal for, what it is
absolutely perfect for, is a guest house to be
parked on your property. You couldn't find a better
one. This leads me to mention a few of the good
points. First and foremost is just how original this
trailer is. From the appliances to the curtains to
the cabinetry, it's just super. Ring the doorbell
(original) and you expect Lucy to answer. I don't
think we've ever had a trailer that is this
cool on the inside. You have to see it. The floor
plan is perfect for one or two people and when you
step inside you step straight into 1953. Denise
really wants to keep this one, but the decision has
been made to let it go. Feel free to
call or e-mail with your questions. This trailer
will be a real find for someone out there...... |
