    We really haven't changed much since 1930s, it's amazing to think about. I know technology has improved however sadly we aren't flying cars on a sky freeway or teleporting ourselves to grandma's house, basically this trailer looks just like a modern airstream, repectfully to its restorers.

    AS a wood-craftsman of 50 years I really appreciate the attention to detail and the wonderful craftsmanship. What a pleasure to see there are those who take it to heart.

    At one time built in the USA meant quality and craftmanship. Another great job at bringing back a fine example of a bygone era.

      Way to insult millions of today’s American workers.

      Obviously these guys are true craftsmen
      They completely rebuilt something that fell apart, not because of craftsmen ship but because of the material they used
      These guys are definitely modern day craftsmen
      Beautiful piece of art
      Well done

      I d ignore the aholes here that think America is the same as , say , the sixties, or earlier. Made in the USA definitely was a proud thing to say. So what happened? For sure the japs really punched up their game and started selling us quality. And some other countries beat us on price. But I think its our own selfish prick elites who sent the work overseas. Ignore the fools here who think its american workers that sold us out. No insult to workers here, its the elites who took away the work

    My husband in 1972 was called for duty. I lived in one of these for six weeks while he did basic training. Quite an experience.

    Really nice touch on the Pendleton Yakima camp blanket on the bed. I have the entire Pendleton national Park series blankets that they've put out over the years and it's great to see a quality blanket in a beautiful quality trailer.

    IN 1958 FOR a summer my dad had s similar trailer that we lived in till school started. HE built a bunk bed in the bedroom. all else was unchanged. The refer was 2 way, Ice or electric. Still have fond memories of it. Was all Masonite with fabrics on the from curve. Love your video

  • @theminicooper
    @theminicooper 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    2:30 into this video and I see those flat head screws all lined up perfectly on the filler.. and also on that aluminium panel... this tells us all we need to know about the craftsmanship that went into this!!! Amazing!!

    I love your passion for rustic campers

    Stunning work. There are now LED bulbs that do not have the plastic base like the ones you have used. I have the same fixtures in portions of my house and have swapped to these newer style LED bulbs and it keeps the antique look.

    I really enjoyed this episode, thank you so much for sharing! Prewar trailers are so fascinating!
    Thank you also for the lack of music. I’ve watched some episodes and 10-15 minutes of background music really distracts me from what’s being shown and discussed so this music-less episode was perfect and easy to watch.

    ps.. an addendum. You added the tiny fridge, yes? The ice box was originally located on the other side of where you put the fridge.
    No. 1. The bi-fold doors covering the fridge, I would remove them because they would get in the way. Nobody hid their appliances back then because they LIKED TO SEE THEM; the doors are dysfunctional, at best.
    No. 2. What was in the space, originally, where you placed the fridge and the bi-fold doors? Something is missing.
    But again, it's a wonderful restoration with its' materials being used and the vibe. It's a lovely job well done. xo

    1938. THIRTY-EIGHT. It's 2024. I couldn't care less that it fell apart into sawdust when it arrived to the shop, the fact that it arrived in the 1st place is incredible.

    Factory original mentioned a lot. Gives me personally the expectation of original materials.
    Yet , understandably all new and modern materials. He mentioned the look of 1930's. Mostly true... Kinda. Beautiful job. Love it. Just overselling original, in my opinion.

    "Two Windows" _?
    This looks like the the trailer we lived in for 4-years in while I was a baby when my dad went Washington State College @ Pullman in the late 40's. it was mine and my brothers first home. Must have imprinted me as I love small Trailers, especially vintage style. That trailer was washed away in the 48' flood and replaced with smaller model(Shasta?) according to mom. Yong women today can't imagine bringing one baby and then another home to such a small abode, but mom said it was one of the best times of her life.
    Tomorrow I'm going to look at and inspect a 14-footer probably a 60's early 70's that has always been under a carport. Not the classic 'Canned Ham', but it does have some style and is all original.

    First, you have done an absolutely outstanding job. Second, as a European who is familiar to useable sizes of campers ( called caravans - in Europe) I would buy this piece of beauty for my own use. Sadly, these peace’s are no longer available in our century. I wish all the best to the new owners and allways great touring in your country. With best wishes 👍😎🇩🇪

    At 74 I’ve had limited experience with travel trailers, enough to know this old/new beauty would be my choice if I were in the market.

    Very nice and good look on this trailer. You guys have definitely got your fit and finish standards cranked way up! Nice unit inside and out!
    Question, were your fiberglass molds for the rounded corners one time use molds or are they still around so you can make additional copies of those parts in the future?

  • @keetahbrough
    @keetahbrough 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    A really excellent restoration! Well done. xo
    Ice Boxes were excellent for produce, root veggies, fruits and other cold storage. When they gave an ice box a motor, because during the industrial revolution they gave EVERYTHING a motor, the fridge was added to THE GRID.. a network of chemical and carcinogenic energy. The fridge is a bad invention.. and it was just to accommodate ice cream.. a new invention back in the day.
    In LA, they had a trolley system.. tubular cars that carried 25 passengers up a steep steep hill. The trolley system was operated and run using water pulley/ballast system.. which worked smoothly and reliably. Also, nobody died.
    When they replaced the systems' pulleys/ ballasts with an engine, they not only created a reason to CHARGE PEOPLE for its' use.. but the entire thing blew up within the first 5 years of its' use, killing everyone on board. And away we went... into the NEW CENTURY.. the NEW WORLD.. and it was just 100 years ago and here we go again!!!
