Ah the dinette ... who would have ever thought it would come together with the original appliances in a beautiful turquoise & the seating apparently re-upholstered in that unfortunate area of the 70's??
The following picture is as it looked when we first saw the interior of the trailer ~
such a first impression!

Post-clean up that same day...you never know what you'll find in these old trailers, a coat with a mink collar & some ancient canned goods of Dutch decent!

Water damage from leaky windows made it necessary to cut the subfloor back to solid wood & aluminum framing as well as replacement of the interior veneer walls.
All exterior windows were eventually resealed.

We decided to replace the old linoleum tiles as some were missing & damaged with a laminate wood flooring. You know, the "snap together" easy to do, no glue kind? Yea, right!
It is beautiful, pet & camping freindly & we love the result.

It all fits together. Those chenille pillows were a find!
It truly is a step back in time. Someone once told us all were were missing in this picture was the Cleaver Family!

Beaver? Come to supper!!
