"where can I find new leaf springs for my 1964 travco 27'. What truck chassis is it built on and will that truck suspension work. Quarter round side window seals anyone?"

Our solar system set up
Since I am on the road (not in the motorhome) I can not add photos directly to this blog but I wanted to give and overview of our solar system.
Excerpt from my blog:
"Today my better half installed the 2 solar panels on Myrtle's roof, which give us 190 watts of free, clean power from the sun. The Carmanah 95 watt solar panels are hooked up to the Magna-sine sinewave inverter and the bank of two 6-volt US Battery brand batteries and it all works! We used a Go Power solar regulator and… Continue

Myrtle's meanderings...
Myrtle made it to her first car show, which was just for vintage RV's. There were about 13 units at the show. It was mostly trailers; including a few airstreams and shastas. As well there were two vintage bus conversions. Myrtle was the only motorhome! Many people toured Myrtle and complimented her vintage interior. We are hopeful to attend some more car shows in the future.
We made our annual trip to Waterton Lakes National…

Dave Creu said… - That;s great! At 6' 4" I don't have too much trouble except walking under lighting and the AC, and standing in the shower. It's on a 5" rise, so I'm all hunched over which is no fun at all! :)

Dave Robinson said… Great Travco! My wife said, "ooh, pretty!" That's a great sign...it'll take some time, but she will come around. I can't imagine the work needed to get it to that condition. I will enjoy reading through your blog about the restoration!
Thanks for the nice welcome.

- Thanks for your response. I am disabled, but still enjoy getting away. I will soon be purchasing a chem toilet, solar heated shower, and privacy tent (for showers and potty). I have a 70 something Lark 13ft travel trailer that I purchased for next to nothing. Interior is great, everything works (stove and oven, water pump, electrical converter box, etc). With the added comfort of bathroom facilities, I may stay gone for quite a while, especially if the fish are biting. Thanks again for your response. Campers are the best people in the world.
