was thinking about replacing the wall paneling in my '69 tradewind. as nice as it is to have it be 'original' the textured white vinyl isn't as classy as a trailer this nice deserves. it may not happen for another few months, but i am thinking of going with a birch or maple interior with aluminum trim, much like vintagevacations.com has done to their spartan, only without the wood floor. figure the ends of the trailer in a light yellow wood would be sexy as hell. if doing the whole thing is too much wood, i might paint some of the center pieces a nice light blue or light green.
Since all the vinyl is intact, i have a full set of teplates already.
(of course, i would save everything i took out for the day when a full resto on a '69 seems like a good thing
and leave notes in the walls as to the location of the storage spot)
additional motivation comes from all the mouse poop in the trailer when i got it--might be time to issue some eviction notices and replace the insulation.
so two questions:
what's behind that paneling anyway?
and
anyone out there ever retro-fit wood to a newer A/S?
