Carey’s Treasure Filled Weekend
Hey Gang,
What an interesting weekend of finding treasures.
Saturday I went to the auction and arrived at my usual time of 10 pm. This auction starts at 6 and has been known to go into the wee hours of the night. One time it lasted till 4:30 am. They stay until all items are gone or people stop buying.
Unfortunately this time I bought only one small box of junk for $1.00 before they said thanks for coming. But there were a few things of merit in the small pile, scroll saw…

Roof Repair
Up on the roof for the 1st time today. Holy Moley! Flashed 1 side of the a/c & moved to the other. Realized why it leaks so badly. Previous owner flashed over rusty seams. Kind of scared about what I uncovered. Have to grind down the rust & see if there's any roof left. Looks like there's at least 1 if not 2 other spots like this. Grrrrr... Hopefully won't fall through.

1979 Commodore Monitor
Just bought this motorhome. Its a 1979 Commodore Monitor by Holiday Rambler. It is a class C on a Ford E350. It has the 351 Windsor engine and C6 trans. It is the rear bathroom model. Does anyone know anything about this model or hopefully can get me hooked up with some electrical diagrams or any litterature. Have pictures posted.

Phase two of class C rebuild continues.
We've had too much rain to pop out the large side window so I could put in the last of the new plywood. Yesterday was clear so I had at it. Of course the screw heads were rusted in place and just spun without moving. So I had to twist them out like this. 50 screws in all and 37 of them had to come out a half turn at a time. I was going to drill the…

1955 Spartan Royal Mansion
Yesterday I bought a 1955 Spartan Royal Mansion. It is not in the greatest of shape but I believe it to be restorable. The other option it to part it out so that others needing parts for their restorations could take advantage of the parts. Here are some of the things that are salvageable:
Interior cabinets, Kitchen sink, hall clothing closets with drawers, most window fixtures are serviceable or at best reusable/restorable.
The front sofa, the back bedroom, and the bathroom…

travco shocks
Anyone have any experience with air shocks on a 1964? Even with new leaf springs the front end is low. I have read about lift blocks and could easily machine some up but don't know about handling.

travel trailer
I recently checked on my travel trailer which has been sitting in storage several months and I noticed the upper front end has warped. it looks like bubbles (under the skin). is this due to the elements? I guess its to late to invest in a cover. it does get windy and hot where its stored. anyone have any opinions as to how this damage may be occurring? trailer is 09 passport ultralight.

Rain, rain, rain!
Today I finally got back to work on my Pace Arrow. Sunny all day. Adding a lower house style kitchen cabinet where the original dinette with bench seats used to be. The front bench seat flipped over to make the front passenger seat. More cabinet space and a large upper drawer. Finishing the top with a 18 X 18 or larger ceramic tile for food prep area. Its against the wall opposite the kitchen area. Will post pics later. The coach has one weak spot in the floor in front of…
