These shots are of my 1964 Shasta in the condition I found it. I haven't made any changes to it yet, although I have plans to! You can see it has the original decal on the side, however the paint is in pretty bad shape. While much of the trailer is in working order, the propane and water lines still need to be tested and the water damage in the front corners will need to be fixed. The paneling will need to be replaced in this area, and possibly throughout the trailer in order to keep the wood matched. Below you can see the color of the current paneling, which I like, as well as a nice view of the complete kitchen. When looking for trailers I was determined to find one with an oven. This Shasta contains the original three burner stove and propane oven in an unusually inoffensive white. Thank goodness it wasn't avocado green!
In addition to the water damage, the aluminum shell has a few dings in it that may require some panels to be replaced. Luckily, there is a local restoration place nearby that has provided me with some advice as to how to go about this enormous undertaking. Its a good thing I don't have a job as this project is sure to keep me busy!
