We just came in from a day of work on the H.H. Our floor was shot so taking it out was more a matter of sweeping up rot, pulling nails, sweeping rat crap, and figuring out how the thing was put together. Unlike other trailers we have worked on where the entire floor is built and finished, and the walls built on top of that floor the HH is different. The floor is independent of the walls. The whole system is different. Directly on top of the angle iron and channel iron frame is a flat…

I did find the mfg for this trailer..I's Gold Star out of FT. Collins..

Good morning; 

     Pat has suggested that we talk about what we are doing with our older motor home Recreational Vehicle, and how that work is progressing.  I think that a 28 year old motor home RV qualifies for the term "classic" or perhaps "vintage,"  so it should meet the definition for "older," so it might fit in here. 

     I had not really intended to get a motor home RV back in the summer of 2013.  It just sort of happened.  It had belonged to a…

I was waiting for it to warm a bit before we went out to work on the Holiday House and I saw this invitation to start a blog. At 62, computers in general, and "new media" in particular are as foreign to me as a foreign language. I have never blogged, or journaled and anything that took time or effort on the computer. As a general contractor by trade, I feel much more comfortable doing the work than talking about it. But what the heck, why not give it a try? 

The story of the Holiday…

We are 2 Southern Women who have been traveling in an old Class A RV for over 2 years now. We started out just trying to visit every single Florida State Park with RV camping. But as with anything else in life that requires quite a bit of money to keep doing. So about six months into our adventure we decided to become volunteer workampers in the Florida State Parks to help pay for our site fees. We make and sell handcrafted items, I have written a book (Insiders Guide to Campground Hosting…

I have had to park the RV ('70 Grumman 25 ft long including a 2 ft extended rear bumper which has a storage box sitting on it) on the street in North Hollywood until I get a better home for it.  I live in Burbank and can park only 3 days ( with permit) before having to move it out the next two days.  A hassle but I wanted to "get" the RV before it got away from me.

Concerned that the batteries will disappear one night....I spent the last two days creating a steel barrier (1…

I just wanted to tell everyone how hard my husband worked to complete our 1977 Travco.  He actually remove everything down to the outside hull and metal ribs and started over.  It took 2 years but it has turned out so nice.  taking it completely apart he was able to move things and change the floor plan like we wanted it.  There were some roadblocks that made us wonder if we would ever finish, but we did!  We are going to re-do the outside eventually, however, as far as being able to take it…

I am now the "proud" owner of a '70 Grumman motor home.  I have heard it said the two happiest days of an owners life is the day he buys it and the day he sells it.....well, today I am happy.

I first started by kicking out the two "human occupants", two dogs, and 12 rats (honestly....trapped the critters in sticky traps the first night).  I changed all fluids, lubed everything, bypassed the ugly gas in the original tank, added two new batteries and it started right up and is…

Whoever does not love; does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.…
