Our Trailer and our Desire to Remodel it

Great to hear from you...

My trailer is 12 feet long
We are going to travel around Alaska... see what we can see...

We do not have much money, so we need to get out of the house on a budget.

We have never owned a trailer.. only camped in tents.. but with bears and moose up here.. we want to be a little more protected.. ya know?

I am not sure if we will be going to places with hookups or not...

We have propane tanks for our working stove and oven.. but when I tried to light the furnace, the whole thing caught on fire...

just blew it out.

There are some signs of water leaks on the ceiling.. , wood damaged...so, I thought of having to re-skin the thing.

No idea what would be involved.

I really, want to make this thing like new, or close to new.. as I love it!

But again, we are not very well blessed with huge amounts of money...

I only paid $500.00 for it... I guess that was ok price?

I have no idea if you will get this.

I bought this old Camper

I want to restore it, but need some advice from those who have restored one of their own.

It is a 1968 Jet.

Our main website is: Alaska Live

We hope to have it ready for the spring, We live in Alaska.. a family of 5.

We are on an extreme budget.. so any ideas how to restore it economically would be awesome.
