  1. Can you please tell me what is the kind of paint that you used on this restore? I couldn’t catch the exact name of the product in the video.

  2. I’m always concerned about the axles and the frame. Those weren’t mentioned and the flooring was covered even. Ingenius ideas, it is very beautiful and has a lot of camping hours ahead.

  3. That’s my trailer!
    I was one of the writers/editors/producers of Family Handyman a few years ago. I ended up pulling the trailer home after it sat in the studio parking lot for a few years (what a shame). Since, my young family has used it quite a bit. There were lots of modifications to the trailer, but when we remodeled it, we couldn’t get to everything. AND it needs a new paint job. But it’s great for us the way it is!

  4. That’s awesome Mike – small world and thanks for sharing the history. Glad you are still using and enjoying it!
