Have fun with it.....
Silverhobby, thanks for the response. I removed the banana wrap because it was haging off in two pieces and wanted to see the frame. I think they lost a tire at one point which wripped off the wrap and part of the pan. The pan looks pretty good elsewhere and the crossmembers in that area have surface rust, but otherwise look solid. We are planning a shell on floor fix as there were mice in the trailer and I want to get everything cleaned out as they were no doubt living it up under the floor. I also want to treat and repair any frame rust, cracks or supports before buttoning her up. The trailer was sitting for over 10 years in the elements and I have no idea what works. My preliminary tests show that all AC plugs work, but I need a new inverter before I can check the lights. Appliances are iffy and havent been able to get any up so far. This is why i am thinking of new cabinetry and beds for better use of space and new appliances.

Please keep the comments coming.
