1963 Model 531-8

We bought this for $200.00 and are remodeling it. It was gutted by previous owner and lost interest.

Good luck with your remodel and keep us posted.

Sweet! Looks like mine that I'm working on. Mine is a 1961. If you scroll down a bit you'll see "Day 1" of the renovation and then work your way back from there.

Restoration & Maintenance

Keep us posted on how it's coming along. Did you remove the kitchen and dinette or did it come without them?

You've been busy! Looking good. It's come a long way since the first pics you posted. Nice little trailer you got for the price you paid. What a steal!

Love the smiley face

 

[prowen]

Thanks, it been a fun little project, can't wait to get on down the road. We are taking her on a national parks tour for 25th anniversary the end of the month. Thought the smiley would be a fun thing for passerbys when it's set up at camp.

Very cool! OK if we copy your smiley face?

More mods

I added a rock guard/window awning yesterday.

 

[misfit429-HILO]

You will get much better mileage with this one than the one in the background in you last pics. LOL. But thats a nice one too!

 

[guitarman023]

where did you get the material for your rock guard? I have a worn out fiberglass one that needs replaced as well.

 

[misfit429-HILO]

If I'm not mistaken that is a polycarbonate panel with a frame around it.

Shop Tuftex 12-ft x 26-in .32-Gauge Clear Corrugated Polycarbonate Roof Panel at Lowes.com

 

[prowen]

Misfit is correct, its 8'X3' white corrugated panel from Lowes cut down to about 48"X20" with a 1/2" aluminum channel frame and a 1 1/2"X 1/8" stiffener brace in center of awning I built, with arms and latches from another rock guard/awning off of another camper.

I mistakenly noted the incorrect model number in the title of this thread, the model is actually a 1963 model 531-8
