Bob- Boy do I feel better after your post! I thought I was going crazy when I started hearing Airstreams talking to me! Nice to know I am not the only one who hears those voices!
I looked at the pictures below, great find and it will be a wonderful trailer. BTW my trailer never spoke to me but it did develop a close relationship with my credit card.
Eric, the 3 burner stovetop is a Princess, and the gas only Fridge is a Dometic. Both original to this unit. There are no holding tanks, but someone added a shower, with a 6.5 gal. elec. waterheater in the closet...replaced that with a 2.5 gal. and got the closet back, for the wife...Hope to be almost finish with this unit in 2 or 3 weeks, if weather and my back hold out..
I'm back I worked on the trailer today for about 4hrs. Made some progress
removed some more interior skin ..everything looked great, Unfortunately or fortunately looks like i'm doing a full frame off. The tongue was replaced at some point. Unfortunately the PO just scabbed a tongue from another trailer on...the big issue is its doesnt match up...and is being held in place by a 4x4 piece of steel it flexes like crazy. I'll post a pic in a bit. So looks like I'm going to search for a welder I definately need some more clearance so adding a few leafs may be the ticket. Rob, I'm located in Apollo Beach Fl. No snow yet this year Must be global warming. I grew up in Boston and had it w/ snow Never looked back.Thanks for all the interest everyone

Hi er1,
It would be better to have new spring packs made according to the ride height that you want and the weight that the trailer was originally designed for.

welcome to the club . there's some great threads here for shell off renovations. check out members uwe (a 63 for me), norcal bambi, arkonuta to name a few. there are others that i can't think of at the moment. do a search and you'll find 'em.
you want to figure out how the c-channel, belly pan and lower exterior skin all connect at the floor level as there are a couple of different ways it has been done. the best thing to do is search here and on the web for anyone that has done a pacer.
good luck and keep us posted

anybody have any ideas about how to remove the blue stripe/sticker from the exterior? I was going to try the hair dryer/putty knife route. Maybe a adheasive remover would be the way to go? Any thoughts? thnx Eric
Here's another question My title says its a 59...I was told it was a 58 and it loks like one to me...any opinions? Also, it has the original split rims..I've done some searching and there obviously not worth saving. Can anyone recomend a good faux period tire/rime replacement? thnx Eric
