It's done!

1972 Tradewind 25ft. All new running gear. Full resto, nothing missed. Upgrades to LED lights, oceanair blinds, aluminum walls. Thing is exactly how we wanted it. Only 1 thing left to do, and that's bunks in middle. Those go in this winter for kiddos.

Wasn't sure where to post. Mods feel free to move if you want.

On to the fun part!!

That's just beautiful - congratulations on the excellent job! Thanks for sharing. I'm not far behind for my own woo-hoo post; must be a great feeling getting it done and actually using it.

Let me say again, very nicely done -

Very nice! Got any pics of the bathroom? Always interested to see how people deal with the deteriorating plastics of the 70's trailers...

I can get pics of bathroom later. It's original but not used by us or previous owners or anything other than emergency potty and storage. It's in fine shape and utilized as an extra closet for us. We camp at places with full facilities so I stick to using those. Less to maintain.

Dockster, did you do all the work yourself? Frame-off restoration? Was the frame reworked?
