The Overhead Cabinet - Refinished, New Sliding Doors

The overhead cabinet above the front window was removed to install the new wood at the side walls
Before sanding and new shellac
Getting ready to apply the laminate to the wood for the slider doors
Reinstalled, with new shellac and sliding doors installed.
The center stile is where the gas light will go.
Hard to capture the laminate in pictures, it is a neutral, yet has a textured design.
Here is an extreme close up of the laminate.

The Door - Before & After

The Old Door Skin - as it looked on day one
BEES!?
Frame was reworked, foam insulation installed...
Three or four coats of amber shellac was applied prior to installing the skin
Door installed
The exterior - showing the new deadbolt and the original Bargman door handle.
As you may have noticed on the photo showing the bees above - there was a split in the door that the prior owner repaired using some kind of a velkum type product.  It is solid, but could look better.

The Shasta Roof Vent

The roof vent was pulled

A prior owners repair?
The black goo removed
The source of the leak is located - see the slice in the upper left hand corner
Putty tape
The area to be repaired was thoroughly cleaned

The Shasta has been through some heavy rains since this repair, and shows no signs of water intrusion
Next up will be installing the ceiling wood inside

The First Day Home

The 1964 Shasta Travel Trailer
Here she is. The newest addition to the family.
I will admit - She has very good bones.
The aluminum skin is in overall really good condition.

The Love Shack?
Really?
Tin roof NOT rusted! That's gotta go...
Interior / Kitchen
Interior to Rear
The Shasta Magazine Rack

The Astral Refrigerator and rear bed. 
Mattress goes to the dump.



The ONE dinette seat.  The other one is missing.  I wonder why....oh well.

The cabinet handles are really cool chevron shaped and are original to the Shasta.
