Re: 1959 R23 complete gut job - help & advice

That’s definitely a big job. What material are you using for the subfloor? Before that, do you plan coat the frame with anything?

Re: A & E awning arm

Sorry you weren’t able to get parts. What did you decide for a new one?

Re: Fuse Block Upgrade

Unless something is wrong, those glass fuses shouldn’t be blowing. Also, unless you’re just wanting to upgrade, it’d probably be easiest to purchase several backup glass fuses to keep on hand in case you need them. Then when you’re ready, do the upgrade. I did this with my trailer, but went with aut...

Re: Plumbing schematic

Without knowing more specifics about your trailer, it’d be tough to provide a schematic. However, if you’ve got a fresh water tank it wouldn’t be hard to make it work with a water pump. The water pump pulls water from the tank and pumps the water into a cold plumbing line. As far as a 12v valve, usu...

Re: Grew up with trailers, finally getting one of my own

Great model! We’ve got a 30R as well.

Your trip to St George Island sounds fun. We use to go there quite a bit many years ago (before the Avion).

Re: Polishing

Let’s wait for @Razorback to chime in on the Owatrol. But yes, if the trailer is dirty, you’d want to wash and dry the surface first.

Re: Polishing

I believe Owatrol is the same as Penetrol. I’ve used it in the past and it did leave the surface appearing better. At some point I think I’m going to try what this guy did here: https://www.facebook.com/jim.vititow/videos/338343088208969/?idorvanity=139074012781324 He had good success with a Porter ...

Re: What has been eating up your free time lately???

I seem to have developed an obsession with both Gravely rider and walk behind tractors. I’ve also been clearing a fair bit of trees and brush on some property we own. Someday my normal job won’t interfere so much, but until then there just aren’t enough hours in the week.

Re: Fuse Block Upgrade

To clean it up I would probably use a bar with studs similar to the one pictured below, and then have a single wire from the bar feeding the 12v on the fuse block. A1CEDEBA-CF92-468B-95B6-5F0BCF9B30DD.png As you probably know, use appropriately sized ring terminals and heavy stranded COPPER wire (6a...
