Hi  all,

I've been looking for a 17 foot trailer for my family for a while.  First
thought I would buy a boler, but recently came across a Silver Streak  Sabre -
and my wife and I knew we had to have it! The night before I bought  it, I
could barely get to sleep and I realized at that point no matter how  much 
work
I needed to, it would be very hard to turn it down!

So,  needless to say, I purchased the trailer, and after the paperwork  was
completed and I got my temporary insurance, I managed to bring it home  last
weekend. Some times I can't believe my luck to have found this  trailer, the
layout inside is absolutely fantastic, with good headroom (I'm  6'5") and just
a great feel. It trailered really well and felt great on the  highway.

Now the hard work starts as I will need to do some significant  work -- 
replace
the deck, fix various dents and missing panels, freshen up  the cabinets, find
a bathroom and generally give an overall TLC to  everything. The previous
owners had let it sit for quite a while and there  is significant moisture
damage inside.

I'm happy that I found a  connection to other Silver Streak owners as I will
have a boatload of  questions. I want to do a pro job on the restoration and
will be installing  original items where possible, or make replicas to keep 
the
look. Alot of  the original is still intact which helps immensely for
restoration, except  for bathroom which is totally destroyed and missing.

This is my last  bit for my introductory email, I live in Victoria, British
Columbia and  have a young family; 2 kids and my wife Linda. My names Jason 
and
I look  forward to hearing from other Silver Streak owners.

Best  regards,

Jason  Parks
