Greetings from beautiful Foresthill, Ca. My wife Angela, our two boys (ages 6 & 3) are the proud new owners of the most beautiful piece of junk, a 25' 1952 Caravan "Cruiser". She was in a Misourri field for the last 18 years used as a storage shed. She's pretty rough, but our family & friends have rallied to invest the time, sweat and $ it will take to get her back in working order. Our plan is to do a frame off refurbishment. With respect to the original look and feel, we will incorporate some modern features. Our theme is 1952 Ansel Adams - Yosemite.

    Prattman - Really nice looking trailer!! Congratulations. I'm refurbishing a 1954 Cruiser. Have had her for a tad over 13 months and am, sad to say, only very few steps ahead of you. . . . FWIW, I'd suggest that you take on and try to complete one step at a time. Too many diverging steps going on at one time can become discouraging, leading some to give up & sell out. Take your time & have a ball. Get your wife & kids involved - make her everyone's project. When finished, everyone can take pride in those aspects they were a part of!! Good luck and keep the posts & photos coming.
