Love it. My first trailer was this same floor plan. A 78 Terry with the beautiful orange and brown interior. Mine was original too. I purchased it in 98. Mine didn't have the front wardrobe or the TV shelf between the dinette and the sofa. Where the wardrobe is had a console table with two drawers with the water heater below. Mine did have the optional little swivel chair. The only changes I made were: I added a microwave over the refrigerator. My refrigerator was lower than yours with a cabinet above. There was just a breaker box behind a door with access to the shower drain, below the refrigerator. I added a high-rise single hole faucet. The two remaining holes in the sink were used for dish soap and hand soap dispensers. Had to put in new roller shades. Luckily mine had roller shades, synthetic sheer curtains with embroidered orange and yellow flowers, and the orange curtains. Between the roller shades and the synthetic sheers, the curtains, cushions, and walls were still like new. No sun damage. I added a pole floor to ceiling with added support from the back of the dinette for the TV mount to attach to. This allowed the TV to swivel from the couch to the dinette, removed the orange shag carpet, and added a little electric stove under the TV. I had to give away the swivel chair because it became too crowded. My dinette was all east - west. Your dinette might be longer which is why there is no chair. Unless I just couldn't see it. With the bed made there was maybe three feet of floor space to the back of the dinette pony wall. The aluminum roofs are great. I did have the entire roof sealed because (I don't know if this is the truth or not) the service guy said these aluminum will get pin holes over time. I know aluminum can erode over time if it isn't the right type. Whether or not the trailer had good quality aluminum or not, I didn't care. It looked better and added provided me with mental security knowing it wasn't going to leak. Aside from seals degrading that is. Anyhow there is a company that still reproduces all of the exterior fiberglass pieces (the four corner moldings, wheel archs, and the sidewall to roof radius transition pieces / sidewall bottom radius trims. Most of these had the fiberglass top and bottom radius pieces replaced with aluminum.. Seeing this unit has no roof leaks visible, those were probably replaced years ago. You're going to want to pull the windows and frames, door, and all hatches to reapply a thick layer of butyl tape. Take your time and remove all the old putty and grease. Remove all the oily residue with alochol. Do one opening at a time to prevent the unit from shifting. Butyl tape alone should last many years without using any additional sealant. Do this on a warm day. After placing the window in push as evenly as possible around the frame. Use a 2x2 or 2x4 to hold brace the window so it does not move or fall out when you go inside to tighten the screw down. Don't tighten all the way. Get it snug and let sit overnight so the morning sun can heat the inside and outside ofthe trailer. This softens the putty so you can tighten down the screws to create nice seal. Remove excess while leaving a beveled edge all the way around the frame. Do the same for the entry door, all of the other windows, and hatches. These are painted very well. All you need is a good wash with dish soap (helps with buildup and contaminates), was and polish to remove remove the oxidation. The unit will shine nicely. There may be some of the graphics/decals on eBay. Dont bother trying to patch the exterior fiberglass pieces and moulding. Just order made to order ones. I saved a search for decals. Seven months later when someone listed NOS Terry front fiberglass awning name and stripe decals. The hubcaps will have either a crown or the more common four point star (similar to the old Lincoln logo) in the center. Again online searches. Once all spit polished and new hubcaps put on, you're sure to get a lot of attention at campgrounds. Cheers! I realize this as a few years ago. But hopefully this info helps someone else who has or is thinking of a vintage trailer.

@carlamcmilin86764 жыл бұрын
Also check the outside cabinets. And feel under every window and the lower part of the door frame . When you replace anything make sure it of equal weight. This is. From experience. Using heavier wood etc. Can cause other major problems. Especially in the roof. Making the walls heavier will cause problems in the roof. Keep it lite.

@yillbs30145 жыл бұрын
while a noble, and quite a unique idea. RV's are -notorious- for being really bad about managing humidity in the winter. This of course means condensation, especially on screws, they will get cold, and the warm wet air is attracted to them like a whore on a lambo. I'm not sure if your trick would actually work to determine if water damage is possible. It would only let you know if any of the screws got wet, and it would be literally impossible for them not to get wet at some point.

It looks like it is in perfect condition except for the wall. Why did the owner want to get rid of it and especially for free? I would think that the repair to the wall is not to bad and could be easily fixed. That bathroom, especially the bathtub is to die for. I have not seen any old trailers that size that has a bathroom like this one. How did it all turn out for you? I hope you made it a masterpiece. It has so many good long years left if taken care of well. Oh her, I am so envious of you. You hit the mark on this one for sure. Did everything turn out ok with the trailer and all?
