Hey Mike, great video! Really enjoyed watching this. I love doing projects like this, it’s amazing what some paint and caulk and hard work can do. Trailer looks great! 🤠
6:55 I picked one up that's in pretty bad shape, rusty. Top has cracks around edges, and is missing plastic. But is fairly solid. Not sure if I want to try to patch, or just fiberglass over the outside and paint. I like the gas strut setup. I have the original top props that came with the top. What did you use to fill the crack in the top.
Congratulations on finding one! If you use gas struts you might consider permanent hinges at the front. It would be a good improvement. I used J B Weld plastic epoxy but it failed too after a while. There’s something in the design that cracks the front left corner. I think it’s the spacing front to back. That’s why hinges might be better. Holler back if you get questions. Thanks for watching!
That's great, the only thing knowing me, I would have done is added a solar panel. Sometimes being a master electrician can be counterintuitive. Just have to take it over top. Lol
I definitely understand that. I did add a solar charger to the kit for the power supply along with a 100 watt 120v inverter. I rebuilt that power pack/jump starter by replacing the internal battery and adding an external charge port. I thought about adding a swing down flat panel from the top. Maybe that’s a future project! 😀 Thanks for watching!!
Mike, I just bought one of these the other day. I really enjoyed watching you restore yours in this video. I'd love to know more about how you made the brace across the top. I have cracks in my top, and reinforcing it like you did would be a good idea for mine. Did you special order your decals, or find them for sale somewhere? It looked to me like you used Gorilla glue to patch up your lid. I was thinking of using fiberglass cloth and epoxy as I did previously with some of the cracked plastic on my pop up camper. Maybe I can get away with Gorilla Glue and fiberglass cloth. How is yours holding up?
Hey, thanks for watching! On the brace it’s a 2 in wide 8 ft aluminum strip I bent in my vise to best of my ability to fit the curvature of the top. I used 3M ultra double sided sticky tape to hold it. Didn’t want to add holes to the top. I used plastic epoxy for the corner repair and no it didn’t hold up. Something in the design made it break again just like the first owner. I found the decals on eBay but had to special order the Versa labels. Good luck with your restore and I’ll be looking forward to seeing the finished product.

I really appreciate that! It seemed like the more I did the more I had to do. Thanks for watching!
I really like this trailer and you did a great job restoring it!
Thank you Chris! Lowes almost ran out of paint!
Mike that is a very nice restoration of the trailer. It looks brand new again. The gas struts were a perfect addition.......Take care, Bluefin.
Hey thanks! The struts did work out pretty good. Thanks for watching!
That little trailer came out really nice.
Thank you!
Nice job!
That trailer was built the week before I graduated from high school 😂
Boy I feel old!
I know what you mean!
😀 I really appreciate you watching!
It did a 14 hr road trip this weekend. Blowed out a tire ! Go figure!
You did a nice job on that. Now we need to see you take it camping somewhere👍
It’s sorta like camping in the last video posted in “ 2024 Meetup in the Mountains “.
