A updatade on my 1:1 travel trailer

[Nick Winter]

Well some of you may know that I was givin a 1978 Prowler 24FT travel trailer 3 years ago by my grand father. Well a 31 year old trailer needs some maintanace once and a while. So this month I pressure washed it from top to bottom, front to back. It looks 100% better. So I noticed that the bumper and front hitch coupler were rusted and the paint was chipping so I bought some Holland yellow rust paint, sanded them down to the mettal then painted them, they also look better. I used a new paint called Flex-coat made by White Knight, it's waterbased paint that when dry turns to into silicone rubber, it seals roof's and reflect's light thus cooling whatever it's applied to, I noticed a diffrence soon as I Painted 1 coat on the roof, in the end I put 3 coats. I also found out some more info this is a 1978 Prowler Model 19E 24ft tandem axel, 6 person trailer and that in 1982 or so, there was a huge hail storm at the trailer park where it was kept until 8 years ago, and it left little dents all over the trailer, so the insurance company paid my grandfather what he had paid, so my grandfather was exspecting to not receive his bill for the insurance, but he did so they wrote off the trailer, but then deceided to continue insuring it. Oh and this trailer has a totall of 2800 kms on it. Also the tires are the original's and the spare has never touched the pavement.

So time for the pictures.

well there was a tornado about 28 years ago that tore it off so it's only 28 years old. well it was the original. Yeah it's only around the edge i popped them off and took a peak.

No problem there, 'cuz. I'm also half Canadian and half Americian. I actually talk with a bit of a Southern accent sometimes. Great job on your trailer. It's a great lookin' set up.

Nice work on the trailer, it looks ready for the road.

But I would like to know, who takes care of the lawn? It is nicely maintained.

Thanks, I actually have roots in Georgia, Florida, New Jersey, and Michigan.

Thanks well I hope it is I'd like to make a trip one day out to BC and visit some family friends and a other good friend of mine. I'm the guy who maintains all 5 acres of land, It's a big Job, but I have a sertain tool that works to my favor, my rebuild 1960's Brigg's and Stratton 3 1/2 horsepower lawn mower, I rescued it and 5 other lawn mowers from dumpsters, the curb, and back alley's, this is my favorite it's the most powerful, and 2 or 3 pulls and she starts like it's nothing, runs super smooth, it's a great old girl. She's not much to look at but she's got more heart than any other mower I've ever worked on. almost forgot it sits on a noma body but it was transplanted from it's old mangled body.

How's about Nick.

[Guest Mustang3.8]

You do a great job of maintaining your property, 'cuz. My American roots stem from Kentucky. Of course, they stem from the time of the Civil War. That's also a nice lawnmover you got there. You did a great job re-building it. It looks great.
