Solar Mfg. Venus, Anyone heard of??!!

Hello all. Just joined the forum! Not new to camping, I went camping with my parents as early as I can remember, was in Boy Scouts(did lots of camping there), then took a camping hiatus for about 12 years. My wife and I just started going camping again. Tent camping this year, but next year we hope to have the new rig all ready to go. Enter the Solar Mfg. 26' Venus. Most, if not all, will not have heard of this camper. She is a 1967, and a dull finished brother to the Airstream. This camper was made by Solar Manufacturing Co., INC out of Benton Harbor, Michigan. This camper was used by my great grandparents, and my grandparents. I have been told that many people confused it for an Avion. I only have a couple pictures right now, but once I get her out of the grass I will get some more pictures. It has sat unused for probably 15 years, and on the outside it really shows. Inside, it is really clean for its age. I am excited about getting this ready to go, and hope I can find usable information on this forum!

Not a picture of the inside, but it is out of the grass now(sort of, there is gravel there, I promise). Next step is getting the tires replaced and towed home to start cleaning the algae and gunk off the shell. Haven't figured out how to clean it yet without scratching it up or anything.
