I love the picture of the kids in the windows...will they help you wash them? I was just happy when my kids wanted to camp with me when I visited them at college. We had some pretty fun times then. I think you will have as many or more given your thread posts.

Those style tanks sound like the ones on Spartan trailers of the ‘40s & early ‘50s.

Joe Peplinski did a great article this month in the Blue Beret wrapping up this story. It's in the "Historically Speaking" section of the June issue. You can see it here:

Again, we can't thank everyone enough for their help. Too many names to name but thank you thank you thank you!

You still have an invite here....and the boat in the shop will be gone so you could maybe be on level concrete within reach of the 30 or 50 amp trailer service.
They have started opening the coast back up so you are a 1-2 hour drive depending on Portland traffic to the coast.

Scott, great article. Good to see your post. Thought you had taken a year off and gone fishing.

So probably a new thread...but a follow up on the above question: How is your new project coming along?....truly an animal you are finishing this one and starting another......
You are my role model of what I wish for.

We spent the last 16 months restoring an early 60's Airstream with some serious sentimental history for some very close family friends that didn't care to have it publicly blogged. It goes in for upholstery next week and we hope to return it by the end of June. Then there are no new trailer projects in my future for awhile, other than some much needed work on our around the world trailer that's felt rather unloved as of late (despite having a nice comfy home in our new 2 bay garage we've been building slowly over the last year). But I promise to revive that 10 year old thread and update my do'overs of some projects I have better skills and tools for now.

At some point we'll save up enough to insulate and drywall, but we pa as we go, but here's the "kinda done" outside. the existing garage on the right I'll be installing new siding soon to match, and is getting new doors at the same time to match.

We'll take you up on that next time we're down that way! We look forward to doing some camping and getting out of the house this summer! Covid has been brutal!
