Thank you very much for posting this stuff. I am restoring an 1972 Aristocrat LandStar. OMG the rotten wood.
Perhaps we could connect via PM and share some info. This is my first project like this and I could use the help with ideas .

I"m a total noob, but I'm about to peel back the skin and attempt to repair the damaged areas. I hope to get it in shape enough to take the family camping asap this summer. Thanks 2 U I now have a clue on what to expect. There is very little info out there on Deville trailers, and I could hardly believe my eyes when I came across your vids today! Looking forward to the next one! Nice job! Thanks again...

"This has turned into a major project."
I knew this was all going to take place when I started. There are some trailers that are built from the outside in so you don't have to peel the skin to replace panels. There are others that are all metal inside and out.
You are correct. They never thought these trailers would be restored 50 years later.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS! I adopted a 1964 DeVille recently. It has water damage in the front lowerleft and right corners

You are welcome. This is why I posted it and I'm really glad someone is getting something out of it. I will be continuing on it next week and the videos will go up daily... Thanks for commenting.

Looks like your keeping your nose to the grind stone. I bet that tarp makes it some degrees hotter. Tabby is so vicious lol. She almost didn't want to get up.

"I bet that tarp makes it some degrees hotter."
Well yes it does when you are working on top. But mainly it is there to keep the bird poop and the rain off of it. It doesn't look like rain now but summer thunderstorms are not uncommon around here as you knowl. And with the tarp, it actually keeps it cooler inside and out as long as I'm not right up close to it. I do top work in the early mornings. Even then it's warm though.
