[VAC] 1960 Overlander [?}



Hello: I am new to the list with a 1960 dual-axle 26' trailer which I think is an Overlander. How do I verify this? Our son gave us the trailer as a an anniversary gift 6 years ago. He found it in LA where it had been in a seaside trailer park {Pacific Palisades] for over 20 years, serving as a home for a couple. Here on the farm in Wisconsin it has suffered from the shift in weather, with leaks, rodents, etc a burgeoning problem. I am just now getting around to working on it and would appreciate any and all input, especially re diagrams of electrical system and plumbing, best methods to rodent-proof the bellypan, how to replace the window seals which are shot, and where to get an egress vent to replace the one which blew off, crank and all, and is now covered with plywood and roofing tar.
When electric is hooked up, by the way, the skin on trailer occassionally gives a shock. I have tried different methods of grounding the trailer with no success. Ideas?
We live in Western Wisconsin, small farm, lovely area, visitors welcome.
thanks,
Paul Schaefer
