Good eye. The left side was raked by something (a dump truck?) while a previous owner had it in storage, or something, and put a 10 foot long gouge along the side, and also took out the left lower window. I initially was going to use the right side window as a template but I broke it (doing a Dumb Thing) and so I had the glass shop (Crystal Glass in Cochrane) make up two replacements.
I mail-ordered Tremco Polyshim tape from
All Glass Parts in Edmonton, in 1/8 and 3/16 inch, and then used that along with a new acrylic inner window (Home Depot sheet) to rebuild the right side. I haven't done the left yet, I'm waiting with that until I finish straightening out the frame for that side and decide how to patch the panels there.
This trailer is not going to be a beauty queen... we'd have to replace all the panels for that because the PO evidently parked by Braille. The goal is to build a comfortable interior with all-new electrical and plumbing, as well as new appliances, and we will never have to worry about getting a first ding on the exterior because it's going to start out with a couple hundred of those, even after we nudge out the worst ones.
