EXTERIOR
The exterior of this unit is very original, intact, and complete. There is damage to the roof where a tree limb fell on it. The exterior shell is built like an airplane with riveted construction for long life and durability. It has aircraft grade aluminum that can be polished up to a mirror like shine. This is one of the California model trailers, which has the desirable whale tail rear cap and 13 panel front cap, which is in awesome condition.
Bumper, Frame and A-frame. It has surface rust but everything appears to be good and solid in all areas accessible for inspection. It has the original three inch channel bumper, which appears to be in good shape with only surface rust. It has been reinforced because someone added a spare tire carrier on the rear.
Compartment doors. It has the original rear trunk door, which looks to be in good shape with no dents or dings. No keys.
Dents scratches and damage. The worst damage is where a limb fell on the roof. It wrinkled the roof skin and some of the top radiuses. There is a small ding on the rear cap. Other than that there are just minor dents and dings.
Entry door. It has the original aluminum entry door with riveted construction. There are a couple of extra screw holes where a hasp was once added. The original Bargemen H-20 handle is broken. We do have these available and our Parts E-store. The door does have some minor scratches and oxidation at the bottom of the door. This is the door, which has the screen door within the door, which is very desirable. There are no keys with this door.
Step. It has the original step. The step has surface rust but is still good and solid, however the step brackets will need work.
Front hoist. It is bad and will need replaced.
Hitch Coupler. It has the original hitch coupler, which is in working condition.

Temporary tow lights have been added to rear of unit so that it can be towed home safely.
Underbelly. It has the original underbelly, which is approximately 85% intact.
Windows, Glass, and Seals. It has the original aluminum windows, which are in decent shape but many of the operators are stripped out. The picture window and window in front of the door is plexiglass. There is one window with a cracked glass. All windows have old original seals which should probably be replaced.
