1970s Renovators Roll Call
I have a 1971 29 ft Ambassador I am beginning to restore. If there is anyone out there who has gutted and restored one similar to mine, please post pics of the work and progress you made or send me a personal message. I am trying to get an idea of what to expect! Thank you

1979 31' Sovereign Intl. Took me one year solo renovation to get to 98% complete fully functional. 60% floor repair site to rotted front and rear subfloor. Frame was in great shape. All new interior skins. New axles. Removed AC, gas heater, gas fridge, flush toilet. Added dual 12v/110v whynter fridge/freezers, wood stove, instant gas water heater, Magnum inv/charger, composting toilet, LED throughout. My own interior design and exterior patches. It's taken me 5 months to start feeling like I miss the process. Love the trailer.
