In my previous post, I shared the news we are now officially RV owners. Pulling our 1984 Shasta Travel Trailer was a breeze.
We spent the weekend washing, cleaning and re-sealing the roof. The roof of our Shasta is a one piece Aluminum, which has minimal seams (bonus!). The husband got up on the roof on a very hot afternoon and scraped off all the old paint. He then washed it down really good, caulked the seams, then painted it with paint. A total of 3 hours, and it was done, and we can relax that it we know that no water can enter the Shasta.
I am kicking myself that I did not take before and after pictures of this process. So I went on a picture taking spree to make sure, this doesn’t happen again. So here we go:
Here is a inside picture of inside the clothes closet. I found a laundry basket to go inside, as well I replaced the previous pink coat hangers, with wooden ones. In this picture is a tear down coffee table for the sofa, and a countertop that goes on top of the stove as well:
I love this “nook” in the next picture. Perfect spot to throw sunglasses, keys, or in this case, an IPOD radio alarm clock. I also placed an LED motion sensor light above, so when we come to the trailer late at night, we don’t have to fumble around the trailer looking for lights:
Below the nook, is a cabinet in which I am going to turn into a wine rack, which will hold at least 4, but hopefully 6 bottles of wine. I still have to work on that one. LOL!
Next project, replacing the taps and the shower-head in the bathroom.

very pretty.congrat how many pounds? can you pull w/ a big car? is ac unit on?

Thank-you Ivonne. Loaded up, ready to hit the road, we are at approx 5,000lbs. We tow this with a 2000 Astro Safari Mini Van, and it handles the tow very well. Any late model big cars, will not handle this weight. A large mini-van, SUV, or a large pick-up truck. Be sure to refer to your tow vehicle’s owners manual. There are also many resources online. No, there is no AC unit, however, it is already wired for one. We have no plans of adding one. We used to tent, so this trailer, is already a huge improvement for us.
Cheers!
