Trailer: 1978 Boler 17 ft
Posts: 19
Hi to all, I purchased this Boler two months ago, I have started to Refurbish the unit, it is the first Boler I have had, though my wife and I have tented it through to Motorhomes. We drove to Yellowknife from Windsor Ontario two years ago and spent $5000.00 on gasoline, needless to say that cured my attachment to Motorhomes.
So now I have a project to take me through the winter, here are a few of photos of my project. As of this posting I have removed 98% of the interior replaced part of the flooring, am waiting for a estimate on a new paint job, I am making new Oak panel doors along with all new paneling etc etc etc.. All the best Dave

Hi Tony. Think the water came in through various places windows loose rivets, the biggist problem I saw was lack of drain holes in fiberglass at the back section of the unit, but we fix Eh!.
Got a Quote of $1200.00 for painting, he was put onto me from a neighbour friend of mine, the guy painted his Camero so He does good work. Dave

Hi
Just an idea: I own a '77 Boler that had a water problem on the floor. That water was coming from the toilet window, between the two fiberglass wall. Just an idea......

Hi Gang Just a few more pics, almost finished replacing stuff, note the 30 Year old Decal It was stashed away in the trailer, found it when I was cleaning it out. Now I can match the Red for the stripes around the side. David

Hi Again Gang, well 99--? finished, a few more pics posted.

I have installed a AC unit on the floor strange you might say, I cut a hole in the floor and outside wall, picked up a large aluminum pan intalled the AC in it, a wood metal lined vent through the hole, it works well, though probably need a small circulating fan mounted somewere. Oh! installed a a small return air vent cage in the floor vent to keep the criters out, I allways say if you don't try it you dont know if it will work.

I have looked at a few postings of differant ideas of mounting, but though I would try this.

All the Best Dave

[Dave, I am reeeeally curious how that AC unit is going to work for you. How big a hole did you put in the floor? And also the outside wall you said?

You better have some pretty good circulation going to make it work. Very creative Idea however. I was wondering were to put a small unit.

Looking forward on a report back from you on this one.

Regards
Kevin.

Good Day People. thanks for the replys, (and yes to James) the stands have been shortened as the ones that are available are too long to go under the Boler, just aluminum angle and pop rivets, no real weight, forgot to state that.
Madeleine my wife and I are going to Mosport Grand Prix near Bowmanville off the 401Hwy at the end of August we allways park behing the GO-Cart track gate 2 might so if there are any race nuts going might see you there.
All the Best Dave
