Need some Help

Designing a small floor plan with a full size bath. Attached is what I see and with the ramp you can add a tent off the sidewall and set up chairs. or bed. Will haul a ATV or motorcycle under 96". Only a 13' box!! What I can't see is the profile so I m going through older units to try to find something that would fit. Any thoughts? 

Thanks, Big Dogg…

Finally...Curtains...& Unfortunate Findings!

Hey All!

  I hope you are doing good! It's been a while since I've been a around! As an owner of an antique store, right now is my peak season so life has been keeping me busy! In between all of that we've been trying to work on Rosie, although it is one day a week...Sundays.

  With the heat rising well over triple digits every day and no air conditioning in her, it's been making it real tough and severely limited on what we can do. A bit ago, we did discover by…

Time to get serious

Finally got the MH off the street, not without a small hiccup (see photo gallery) but we survived the impact and no lives were lost. Now I can really get serious and pull the engine, trans for rebuild. I can also pull side glass and drop the last two interior pieces, the front cap and center console. As you can see in photo gallery, I have already pulled the entire floor up. The AC over the engine is next as well.

Aristocrat Rally

Had a great weekend in Sutherlin, Oregon with 13 other Aristocrat Owners family and new friends. This was the maiden voyage for my '66 Aristocrat Lo-Liner S/T and was really a fun and interesting event. I had to work at my job in Tahoe on Friday but did manage to get off early so I didn't get to the park until 1:30a.m.  I was up at 6:30 and excited to see all the trailers in daylight. The first gathering of Aristocrat trailers in 30 years. WOW! pretty cool and well planned get together. open…

Travco Restoration

I have so many pictures I would like to start posting. We are about half way to three quarters through the restoration of our Travco. My husband and I actually tore out all of the inside and we have laid out a different floor plan. This required new plumbing, new electrical, new lp gas runs and all everything I haven't listed! I wanted to start posting, because this has been a real job and I as I said, we are only about half way to three quarters complete. I have tried to take pictures at…

my 4th better posting it now than never, right?

Hey Gang,

How did everyone's 4th go?

I had a nice small gathering with the folks, Jeff and his Mom, Malinda and Dov. Plenty of conversation and of course food. Then we headed to Colby Park in Wickliffe.

I tried to convince Malinda and Jeff to take my car only as its usually bedlam getting into and out of Colby. But they insisted they drive so we took 3 cars. Jeff found his own way and got a nice spot to see the fireworks. Malinda followed me to the Baptist church near the…

it has been quite awhile since I updated my post so I will get to it July 2,2013. I was hoping to take the trailer camping on the 4th but still need to finish a couple of projects I have started on the trailer,mainly the stove. I tried and tried to find parts for the oven with no success, but as luck would have it, I found a complete stove with an oven intact on my local craigs list for 40 bucks brought it home hooked it up and EUREKA! all burners work and the oven as well. The burner grates…

Help please :)

 

Hi, this is my first time posting/blogging, so hope I am doing it right.  The front of my 1968 Aristrocrat Lowliner is in need of some TLC but I'm not sure how to proceed.  I figured the ugly brown added on tin piece in front was hiding something but was surprised when I took it off to see the big rip across the front.  From what I…

Leaf Springs next

Hi folks....I'm looking into to replacing the leaf springs on my '56 Terry.  The previous owners thought it was too difficult to change a tire because the camper is low, so they had the leaf springs put on top of the axle.  Now the camper is about 2.5 feet off the ground.  I'd like to switch and lower the camper, but not sure if current situation is a good one or not to keep?  I just brought my camper home from sellers and didn't quite master backing it up into the storage spot perfect, but…
