Good evening, all. We are making progress. I think we have all the water damage identified, and it's extensive. Both sidewalls from the door all the way back will need to be rebuilt, plus the rear endcap, plus some of the ceiling. We have most of the yucky beadboard insulation out, except...

Hi, gang! I figured I would update you as to where we are in our little saga. On the remodeling front, I'm continuing to work on the walls, running the furnace and scraping the wet gunk off the walls while the wind blows and the snow flies outside. But the real fun is with getting the trailer...

Hi gang! If you have followed our saga on ore parts of this forum, you know we are trying to title and remodel a 1988 Bonvoyage 27F. If we are able to title it, we will move ahead with the renovation. If we aren't able to title it, we will part it out. So, here is a list of some of the parts...

Good evening, everyone. I am trying to remain optimistic about this project tonight. Not only are we going to have to replace even more (at least 2/3 of all the upper walls) but a good portion of the roof/ceiling as well. I wonder if this thing went through a couple of hurricanes down there...

Dee, thank you so much for the good reminder! We actually have already talked to a good friend who is an attorney, as well as the DMV in our state (Colorado) as well as the DMV in the state where the trailer was most recently registered (Alabama). We do think we can register the trailer after...

Good morning, all! Yesterday we began tearing in to our new-to-us 1988 Bonvoyage 27F Classic. If you haven't followed our saga, we bought it sight unseen off of eBay. The bad news: the seller didn't disclose that it had extensive water damage from a previous leak. The good news: the seller...

Sweet! What a great idea!

Good afternoon, all! We are refurbishing a 1988 27' Bonvoyage Classic that has a bunch of water damage. While we work on it we've decided to refurbish it with some new equipment as well. So I'll be selling various parts as we take them off. Today we have a double-sized foam mattress for...

Good afternoon, all! If you have followed our saga in buying this 1988 Bonvoyage 27' from eBay, you'll be happy to know that we think we have a way to title the trailer now. Hopefully by January we will have clear title to the trailer. It turns out that a good friend of my brother's who is in...

Thanks for all the info, everyone! Sorry I haven't posted photos yet. We have a new wrinkle in the deal. The "seller" bought the trailer from someone else last August, and never put it in their name. The documentation they gave me was a registration from Alabama (where apparently older...

We got it winterized, thanks for your help! I will try to take photos and post them this afternoon. Thanks for all your help and support. It means a lot to us that a group of people whom we have never met in person are willing to give us the benefit of your experience and expertise. God...

Gosh, you all are sure helpful! My husband and I really appreciate all the good ideas! So to update you as to where we are right now, we think we have it winterized, and my husband continues to work on that. He's still figuring out how to get the antifreeze in the system, but at least it's...

Sam & Jerry, thanks for your replies. Jerry, what I have learned is that eBay's Buyer Protection Plan does not cover older vehicles, even if the description is inaccurate. Apparently my only recourse is to leave negative feedback, and you can bet your lotto ticket that if they don't own up to...

Well, darn it! I have been lurking on this forum for a long time in anticipation of buying and fixing up a Hi-Lo. We finally took the plunge and bought one off eBay, but I should have listened to all of you A LOT better. Even though the seller said it was in good condition (specifically they...
