I often wonder how anyone can live full time in a little bity A.S. trailerMy 
24 ft Silver Albatross could not hold my library to say nothing of my 
personal possesions. Just taking a long trip in it can be a royal pain in the 
lower part of my torso. It has taken a full size woodworking shop jest to do 
the necessary interior maintaince to keep it looking half way decent inside I 
have spent some time replaceing the plumingto the kitchen sink which broke on 
our last trip(tubes sweated to the fawcet) I had to teare out the cabnet top 
to get at it .I was dismaied at the horrable workmanship in the cabnet. had 
to fabricate a new fiberglassand epoxy interior for it.While I was at it I 
hah to make a new top and stove crover the 1960s formaca looked like hell so 
I chose rosewood for the top.It will be done shortly I re inspected the floor 
and found a couple of imperfections so it will be necessary to re glass it. 
Next it will be necessary to replace the terrable overhead compartment doors 
with raised pannel walnut doors and to scribe the frames to the contour of 
the trailer . 
If I were a full timer I could not possably do any of this work. I dont think 
any othis work will add any value to the Silver Albatross.I keep seeing where 
people on this list are buying similar vintage trailers for less than I paid 
for this one. I dont know what I will do when I finish it. I can travel a lot 
cheeper and with less work with out it.
