man does look good I can't play AS today cause of evacuees from nola at my house if they stay for two hurricanes I might just go hide in Ole Olivia......
Good plan w/ the LED lights. I've got LEDs on my car hauler trailer, covered motorcycle trailer and my truck. An additional advantage is that you can leave your "parking" lights on for hours and hours w/ minimal current draw. You need to remember that your dash lights on your tow vehicle are probably not LED so simply turn them off.
We finally got the power back on at home but still no power at my restaurant. Olivia suffered no damage from the hurricane, but in the front yard a 200 year old oak tree came down and took out the power. The neighbors are steamed! You can see the AS in the back ground of the picture.

I got the MONSTER off my back and installed my new Carrier V
In between feeder bands of storms I was able to install my roof top AC. I started early unbolting the hateful MONSTER on Olivias Back. When My man Friday arrived to help me the skys opened up then cleared just as fast. Most of the work was getting the old one down, the new one went up easy as pie I hooked up the wiring as descibed and fired her up, cool cascades of air soon blew the hair out of my sweaty eyes. What joy, what feeling of acomplishment,what a relief to have it bolted down before the winds really start blowing As I waited for my help I did install one of my new running lights aquired from Vintage trailer suppy. She is starting to look good I also got out a little soap and soft brush after the algae growing on the roof while singing"Whats it all about Algae" I went and put her back in her storage space before the Hurrican hits.

Last night I went camping at a new spot for me and just 30 miles from my home. Clear Springs National park, what a beautiful place. I stayed at spot number 18 overlooking the lake. There is a great trail that circles the lake. It is right near Meadville Ms. I have made a few improvements to Olivia in the last few weeks. Ive added the dinette table that was missing.Finished cleaning the mold off the outside.Installed a new frig and microwave. I also have found some new patio lights for the awning. We also spotted some kind of southwest Ms sasquache monster on far end of lake.
Great work on your trailer. We live near Baton Rouge and go to Clear Springs often. Don't talk about it too much though or it will get too popular!
Keep up the good work. What restaurant do you have in Natchez?

Thanks Utee, I am really starting to know the joy of being a Streamer. I have been very busy making repairs to my houses and businessfrom Gustav. Haven't had much time for Olivia plus We just had Crusin the Coast in South Ms I entered my old Caddy named Cafe'ola. The weather is getting right and its easyer working on her in cooler temps.
Yesterday I drove to Ripley, Ms. to pick up a set of 1989 Toyoya rims with tires I picked up ebay. When I first purchased Olivia she came with 3 of these Toyota rims. I was very surprised to learn that the rims bolted right up to the six lug A/S bolt pattern. I have been looking for a fourth rim to match for several months, with no luck. Then up came a set of four with tires with good tread......Great find. They look very sporty on an older A/S .Now I have three extra rims with may-pop dry rotted tires. I think I will sell two of them to some one else who likes the look. The only glitch I see is the hub sticks way out from these rims, So I need to find a very deep center cap,or just paint hubs silver and truck on...................
P S I saw two older A/S at a flea market in Ripley they looked like they were being stored. One of them was a 13 panel, so Im sure it was pretty old

NatchezBear,
Great find with the rims. I would check to make sure they are rated for trailer tires (2600#'s & 65psi). Next time you're down here for Cruisin' The Coast in South Mississippi, stop by. I would like to see your old Cadillac. Bet it make a great vintage tow vechicle.

Your trailer requires wheels that are rated at 2600 pounds each.
Hi Rick,
I've Tried looking on line to find the wheel weight ratings of the Toyota rims. I can't find anything. The tires on the steel rims are rated at 2028 lb each.That's a total of over 8100 lbs, more than twice the weight of Ole Olivia. The three rims that came on Olivia appear to have been on for a while and I pulled home 600 miles with no visible fracturing or catastrophic failure. I feel that if these rims were designed for a 4X4 off road truck, surly my Cadillac riding Airstream can be any rougher on them. You have raised a doubt in my mind , so do you know how to find these ratings? And thank you for not being a Gloomy Gus on the matter for I'm still learning and am very impressible I also have three different rims and will need help identifying which ones are A/S I will send pics later.
