Hey everyone!
My wife and I just purchased a 1985 Hilo Voyager 25B. The outside looks like you'd think a vehicle from 1985 would but is mostly intact. The inside is in great shape and appears to be free from any water or other damage.
For now, we are just really getting started on the plans but I know my wife is really stoked on redoing the interior to something more modern. She has an idea of totally redoing it from top to bottom to make it look like a 2021 take on a 1985 layout, if that makes sense. My responsibility is going to be the outside. I was originally thinking I was going to do something cool like get a decal or stencil of wolves howling at the moon and paint it on the outside, but I've been thinking it might be cool to just restore it to the way it would looked originally with new versions of the original decals. Who knows? We just bought it yesterday after looking long and hard for a travel trailer for months.
First things first though... Gotta get a new set of tires. I had to drive about 150 miles through the mountains to get it home and a tire even blew out on the way home. Fortunately it did have a spare so it wasn't as awful of a day as it could have been!
