Our Cruisette has gone through a variety of changes since it has been in our family. It still carries WBCCI number 1764, though we're not members. Various parts have been polished, the streetside window had been out and re-sealed, carpet replaced, a new. table made, fully rewired, a range top to replace the vintage apartment stove a previous owner installed. The tounge and LP tanks were repainted. Several generations of mice have been evicted over the decades, and at least 5 coats of paint hang on the walls.
Inevitably the relentless forces of entropy have undone all of the prior refurbishing to our trailer. At this point in time our Cruisette will require a new floor, some panel repairs, LP system upgrades, new weatherstripping, frame and tounge painting, new 12V & 110V wiring, plumbing upgrades, cabinet work, paint and upholstery. Future posts will outline what has been accomplished thus far, and will track the progress of our ongoing restoration.
