Don....this guy is a professional....here is a link to his blog tracking the restoration work to his 1947 Spartan Manor....

everything looks good....this guy must have lots and time and money...both of which i lack...

i just want to get my trailer to the point where i can hold my head up when camped out....i dont want to the the old trailer trash in the back parking space at the park...(ok..maybe i do...smile...)...i am planning a 13.5 k AC with heat strip...on demand hot water....solor panels on top to recharge a battery bank...likely portable hot spot for wifi access that neighbors could tap into...pergo flooring...considering a wet bath up front near the door or in the bedroom ....

so here is a link to Dons blog....
