- Long boring video which started out as my first V-Log. Well it turned out to be an hour long. So I edited the thing and got it down to what you see now. Still way too long for a V-Log. So I gave up and called it what it is. Just a long boring video of a typical day working on a vintage trailer.

Very good video.
Nice work yes I learned something getting ready to work on a 75 Winnebago I will check out some more your videos later
My website is the easiest place to find my restore videos. www.cannedhamtrailers.com
Every time I watch Larry, I’m learning something. Thankfully building and remodeling most of my life, I have more tools than a Home Depot tool rental. Waiting for tonight’s live class, especially Q&A
All I have to remember is “they were built from the inside out, so to fix them, you have to go from the outside in”, lol but true, thanks Larry
It's interesting to see how materials and construction changed between the "canned ham" style and "toaster" style trailers. Somebody realized that it was a lot easier (cheaper) to build trailers that only need materials and framing cut in straight lines instead of curves. That, along with the invention of "fakewood" gave us what you are dealing with here. Another shining example that newer is not always better. It looks like this restore will take awhile. I'm off to the store to buy extra popcorn. 73 Larry!
LOL well that's progress for ya. Newer is not necessarily better. Just quicker and more profitable for the big boys. On that note, I would NEVER EVER buy a new home. I was in the construction trades most of my adult life and I see how building methods have changed. New homes cost about half to build now than they did 40 years ago and yet they are selling for 10 times the price of yesteryear. Ya that's progress for ya.
Larry, don't worry bout the time, I find that if I'm engrossed in what I'm watching, then time flies and I mean fast!!! This felt about 10 min. long(with the interest level factored in) Don't stop now, you're on a roll!! :--) Dave
LOL! I guess it looks boring because I have to watch the video like 25 times or more during editing.
Thank you for your reply to my questions. I've since been watching your videos all the way through and learning a lot. I'll email you in the future. Thanks again for all the very informative videos.
You are most welcome. My website has all the videos listed for ease in finding exactly what you need. And if you still have problems finding a video on a subject, just email me...
Yes I watched the whole vid Larry. After a long shift at work, this was a good way to unwind!
So you unwind from work by watching me work LOL... One time while on vacation we sat in camp and watched an Edison crew put up power poles all day long while we drank beer. I can watch people work all day I guess.
+mobiltec Not so much watch you work, but enjoy the work you do my friend!
kb1nyd Thanks Mike...
So beyond my skill set and tool set-but thank you ! 🙂🙂
That pocket jig is a great tool, have to go get one with my Harbor freight coupon! Love your work Larry!
The pocket hole jig is one of the reasons I wanted you guys to watch these videos for your home work...
Where I have to copy parts I tend to use a couple or so wood screws instead of struggling with clamps. This greatly helps if I need to edge belt sand or use a drum sander in my drill press.
Great video, hoping to see more of this format. I have done a couple of videos myself of caravan repair and I could learn a lot form your videos. Keep up the good work!
Check out my website. I have over 400 videos involving many different trailers listed there in order so it's easier to find the information you need. Cannedhamtrailers dot com...
pretty cool. Thanx
Can't wait for you guys to return Stan.
four times. So it looks like a pocket screw jig is good to have.
Great Info! It's Easier to do a Repair if U've Seen it Done! I Now Know a Pocket Jig's The Way To Go!! Thank-You Soo Much.
You're very welcome. Visit my website where all my videos are listed and easy to find the one you want.
Love those old Shastas as well as your insightful/informative videos. Do you know where I can get my hands on old vintage teal/turquoise sinks, fridges and stoves like Dometic?
Welcome to the biggest scavenger hunt of your life. You might try my friend Chris at trailertrasher1@gmail.com
Nice shirt.
That was for a fund raiser we did for the Vet that you see on the shirt. He lost both legs in Afganistan.
@@mobiltec I bet he appreciates his community
@@ifferl8781 We raised the money needed to put an addition onto his parents house so he could live there until he is able to find work and get his new legs. He was very happy.
I apologize for asking this again but I have lost the list of places you said that we can get parts and stuff from, thanks for the videos they have been a great help
Go to my website. There is a LINKS page on there. www.cannedhamtrailers.com
Enjoyed it Larry. I thought the video was great!
Take Care 73!
73 Barry...
Great vid great job.
Thanks
Nice video. Crack up every time you speed up and are talking. lol
I should probably talk less LOL...
Hi I just noticed the new? battery powered Milwaukee with an adjustable angle head. Must check this one out. A little pricy but...Keep up the great work and great vids!
Thanks. One can never have too many tools.
Hi, Have You ever considered using a sawz-all for dis- assembly? I have pretty good results with mine. I use the Milwaukee torch blades. If you need to remove brads nails, screws it obviously won't work.
I use a Sawzall when nothing else works. Sometimes you just can't get the fasteners out. Screws especially.
Serious question: I'm replacing some framing boards on a 1978 travel trailer.
Originally the trailer was put together using 1" crown staples. I noticed that you are screwing your but jointed boards together using pocket screws and a pocket screw jig. Is there a reason why you are doing it that way? Why not using a pneumatic nailer with large crown staples (it would be much faster)?
When your trailer was built the wall pieces were placed in a jig on the floor. The pieces were then stapled together to keep them in place until the paneling could be placed over them and then nailed or glued to the framing pieces. The staple was only there to keep the pieces in place until then. once the walls are built then they are raised and mounted on the sides of the trailer. Framing in these trailers plays very little roll in structural integrity. They are there merely to add an air space between the paneling and the metal skin.
When working on a trailer that is already built and the walls are standing, I find that screwing the framing together gives the walls more strength and makes them more solid which is better for working on them. Nothing worse than beating on flimsy walls. Yes the other way is faster but again it's harder to work on them in that condition.
Do you know the thickness of the bunk material? Looks like 1.5"? I'm wondering if 1" plywood would work.
3/4 inch thick plus paneling.
do you have a problem with size of wood you use matching what was in it, like old houses when you remodel
Yes. Plywood does not match up and I have to work around that little problem. The floor has the biggest problem with that.
Don't sell yourself short. Good informative video
It's very hard to make an instructional video fun. Maybe I need to learn some jokes. The people who tell my my trailer videos are long and boring are usually people who are not working on trailers themselves. I have to remind them that these are instructional videos and not meant for entertainment LOL... Thanks for watching and for the support.
Keep the good work up. Dave
Where can you find the paneling that is in that 1966.? Whitish in color...
Thanks and great work...
The new paneling we have had to be ordered from Mantlecraft...
Online, I hope. ..or is this store of some sort...
Rudy Hernandez Online and they delivered it.
How long does it take you to disassemble one that is approximately 20'-24'?
Again, that depends on skill level, tools and working environment. I can have a trailer disassembled in a week if I work long hours at it.
Did you put wood sheets up behind the paneling?
No...
If a man started from scratch, taking apart a 1985, 24ft Aljo Skyline, ... "How far could he get in 3 weeks, if he worked 40 hours a week?" Doing it the right way as you show here.
LOL that's another loaded question. Depends on the man, his skills, his tools and his environment.
Indeed. Figured it was. ;-)
What happened to "screw & glue"?
Further research shows that gluing the framing really serves no purpose. I do glue some joints but mostly that is on the interior now. So for the most part, now we just screw.
Is asbestos an issue with older trailers?
If you are worried about it just wear a good mask. One with removable filters like the painters use. They are only about $30. The flooring is about the only thing that was made with asbestos and if you aren't grinding it up I wouldn't worry about it.
mobiltec thank you ☺️
Why would it be the only one?
Well I just don't know that people want to see a half hour Vlog. LOL... I'm going to try to do V logs again but make them much shorter. I just get carried away...
