Well here is our new hobby! The redo of a 67 Shasta Compact. It isnt a restoration but rather our vision of what we would have wanted back in the day. It gives my yard sale/thrift store/flea marketing a purpose too!

This is just a way for everyone to keep up with what we are doing with it.

The kids are so excited and already driving me nuts to get it done so they can camp out in it. I think this is going to be a blast for all of us.

So stay tuned I will be updating as I go along and you never know what we might do to it!

To paint or not to paint that is the question.......

Well we need to replace some panelling in the back the laminate has separated from the old moisture issue so do we go back original or do we replace it and paint it to match? I have several pieces of bead board I am considering putting to use then painting out the rest semigloss white (kitchen and bath to prevent any mildew! and it cleans better) but then I look at what good shape the side walls are in and I wonder if I might be just a little off and should see if we cant match it. This would be much easier if it were the older style with the solid plywood.

But while cruising the archives in several Shasta and Vintage trailer groups I am in I have seen them both ways and I still cant decided!

I guess the primer will have to wait another day so I can decide!
