We have a 73 28' Continental Deluxe Rocket. We bought it from pictures but got a great deal. My husband and dad traveled from our home in Mountain Home, TX to Hazelhurst, Georgia to get it. The people who owned it before didn't know what they had. It was advertised as a 74, but the title says 73. Any thoughts? My parents bought a 73 SS 22' Sabre a couple of months before we got ours and we fell in love with it. I absolutely love the corner windows. We have yet to take a trip in our SS. We've been working on it, but now we are in the process of moving so we have had to slow up on that project. Almost everything worked in the trailer when we got it. The original refrig was gone - it has a small house electric one. It works fine for us for now, but someday we'd like to get something more original. Someone mentioned replacing the stove with one that has an oven below and then building a shelf (cabinet) for a microwave above. We'd like to do this too, partly because of opening up the space even more. I believe the stove all works, so maybe that's blasphemy to some of you. :) We also took out the couch that was in the front (I don't think it was original and it was in very bad shape) and built a freestanding bed for ourselves. We have three children and this seemed to be the only way for us all to fit. Two of the kids are small enough to share one of the twin beds. The bed is not directly attached to the trailer, so we can always go back to the original way. Another reason for the bed is that my husband is 6'5" and most beds in older trailers are too small. OK - so I've rambled. Sorry. I'm glad to have found this list. I've tried to find literature about Silver Streaks and haven't had much luck. My parent did buy a CD from someone that has old trailer life magazines and some pictures and brochures. Is there more available? Thanks for any thoughts....
