Enjoying Every Minute

After cruising craigslist and EBay for a couple of years I finally found a 1959 Tradewind in Eastern Wisconsin. Picked it up three weeks ago and pulled it home. Here are some scenic outdoor shots. I current have the unit at my work so I’m able to pull it inside on weekends to work on. The trailer officially known as Murphy has a couple of problems………..

Soft spots, couple of minor dents, missing bed, missing fridge/wardrobe, non standard furnace, no plumbing, no hot water heater, no tanks. But it came with an awesome princess stove, sink, overheads light fixtures, cabinets.

Between reading the restoration posts at night and working on Murphy before and after work it’s going to be a blast.
