Trailer: 1974 Boler 13 ft (Neonex/Winnipeg)

Thanks for the confirmation on the "popcorn" style insulation. I wonder if they installed the foam with seams (pre-made to as to have uniform thickness), and then sprayed the seamless white topping over it (so as not to have visible seams).

One note is that if one is buying new Ensolite, it is possible to get it a thicker than the original (for Ensolite) 3/16". I got samples in 3/8", and in three different densities, and from that I would say that perhaps 1/4" would be a good compromise. Thicker than the original yet still conformable. I think I felt like the middle density would be best, but I don't have the samples in hand as I type.

Interesting: It was originally an Ensolite Boler (1975, classic green-and-white) and someone removed the Ensolite and used spray-in insulation.

Unfortunately, none of their photos will load for me. Darn.

Perhaps the orignal owners or their kids. It looks to me though that photo was taken in fairly recent years - based on the car in the background and the clothing.

The broken and missing parts are pretty stock items. I am assuming thats the fridge door thats missing. They normal have hindge type connections and swing up to open. You should have no problem finding replacements for them. You can check the online parts at Fraserway RV

Unhappy Be careful where mice are concerned

Mice are one of the main factors in the spread of hantavirus:

Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS)-Cause

wear breathing protection.

Otherwise, it looks like you got a nice trailer. It looks brand new on the outside.

Congratulations!

Ooh, love that flowered/plaid/mosaic combo of the wallpaper/uphostery/flooring! 2

On the hantavirus: Yes, this is a deadly serious disease, and the virus can be contracted from rodent droppings or urine, BUT the virus does not live that long after "leaving" the mouse, so if you can be sure there have been no mice in the trailer in the last few weeks or so, you are probably not facing serious exposure. Of course it's always good to handle such things carefully.

Here is an except from the US CDC (to which the BC health page refers people). The bold text is from the CDC page, and was not added by me:

Risk: Anything that puts you in contact with fresh rodent urine, droppings, saliva or nesting materials can place you at risk for infection.
Virus: Hantaviruses have been shown to be viable in the environment for 2 to 3 days at normal room temperature. The ultraviolet rays in sunlight kill hantaviruses.
Prevention: Rodent control in and around the home remains the primary strategy for preventing hantavirus infection.
Cleaning: Use a bleach solution or household disinfectant to effectively deactivate hantaviruses when cleaning rodent infestations.

What You Need To Know | CDC Hantaviruses

I wish I had known about the latency factor years ago. A good friend of mine used to work on old pianos, and they were often the home to mouse droppings. But... the mouse droppings were known to be old. We didn't know about the relatively short life of the virus and so we worried excessively at times when we needn't have since they weren't "fresh."

We are the 3rd owners of this lovely 1978 Boler - we purchased it from a young couple in Edmonton, who had bought it from the original owners after their kids were grown. - Our Boler has been lovingly cared for... and is still mostly original -the inside has very period "Spanish" raised panels on the faux wood - and we still own the Boler, so, we aren't the original owners fo your Boler... but they certainly look very similar! Our Boler is one of only a handful down here in Western Montana.

The one at the skateboard shop in Abby was a 17 footer. The fridge had been replaced with an electric one, and the whole thing needed a thorough cleaning, but it was definitely a 17. It was almost my 1st egg, but the boyfriend talked me out of it. The sad part is I could of had it for $2,000. This was about 5 years ago.
