1972 Compact Jr. by Hunter Structures of Chatsworth, CA
Primer over gel coat.
The top portion is popped up in these photos, exposing the tent. It folds down for travel.
Paint it...paint it all!
Area 51 here we come!
Small kitchen.
Cabinets in decent shape (for a 36-year-old trailer)!
That's a true ice box, not a refrigerator. Wonder how well it'll work...
Protection from the aliens? Insulation, actually. We're concocting a plan for maintaining insulation while better masking it.
Removing the old cushion covers (stains...icky!)
My little window washer.
She's REALLY into the details!
GOT IT!
Amazing how much more light there is with clean windows!
The decorating has begun!
Little girl decor
Found lots of dead spiders inside - wasps' egg sack/nest?
This odd mud nest was on the outside of the upper tent extension.
Water tank fittings...the first challenge.

The cushions are finished!
Giving the cushions a proper test.
When I removed the vent (to install screen) I exposed this original gelcoat color.
Personalization - Thanks, J, for the help! :)
The Big Bed...finished tonight! :)
New drawer lower rail
The hole was always too wide for the drawer, so I shimmed it a tiny bit
Peeling of the facia board. Should I replace the skin?
The drawer causes the peeling
These baby locks work to keep the drawers closed no matter HOW hard the bumps are.
Before the new carpet
The removable seat tops are of VERY thin wood, and one is peeling where old water damage got to it.
After Chaco, the trailer was rounder. Now there's a pretty big gap between wall and cabinet
Trailer came with nice wood around the door frame. Original?
Kids' eye view of the new carpet...such an easy upgrade!
You can see why we need new paint
Under the table
removed all hardware for painting
Three tones - added white to the very light milk chocolate tan from the drawer fronts to get a lighter-tan wall paint. Used green for the beveled edges.
All paint was free from the household hazardous waste facility in our town.
First campout after the paint dried.
