Decisions Made.

Well, I have decided the skin on the Play Mor is about to start coming off. That will give me access to repair any of the rotten wood and sub-structure. If I am correct, most of the leak problems are stemming from the drip edge (where the roof meets the walls). I will need to pull all the trim, windows, ports, plugs, etc. before the de-skinning can begin. I will post pictures during the progress as a step by step pictorial.  Thanks everyone for following along.

A Cool Find

I started stripping paint off of the Play Mor using the pressure washer at a slight angle to lift the latex house paint off. It is starting to do a pretty decent job, but at this rate it will be a long preocess. While using the pressure washer, I found that all of my drip edge trima well as the wheel well trim is gold anodized aluminum. I have not seen this on any other trailer, nor is it listed as available for replacement on any of the vintage parts sites. I am going to be very careful in removal and clean up of this trim because I realize finding any replacement will be impossible. I am attaching some pics to show you the trim.
Wish me luck,
Chris

Still Waiting

I have yet to get a day that I can start on the Play Mor. Every time  I think I will have a free day, something comes up, or I have to go out of town. All I have been able to accomplish so far is getting all the years of moss and grime off of the trailer. I did open up all of the windows for two days and turn the a/c on high vent mode to try and air her out a little. It did seem to work about 75%. But I also realize when it is closed back up in this TN heat, the smell will return until I can gut her.
I will keep everyone updated as I go along and post as many pics as I can.

Please feel free to add comments. It would be greatly appreciated.

A Cleaner Happier Play Mor

We pressure washed the Play Mor last weekend and I feel it made a big difference. She actually had moss growing on the back and front of her. She had been sitting in the woods as a deer hunters cabin for the last four years and neglected. She still needs a full renovation and a new paint job that will begin soon, but all in all she cleaned up nice.
