Happened again. I'm the only one on the south loop, about 50 sites, on a Sunday afternoon. This family comes in, tours the whole area and sets up RIGHT NEXT TO ME.

I must ooze charm or something.:reyes

LiteHouse Trip (finally)

<img src=http://www.fiberglassrv.com/board/uploads/3efae9257f523trailer w.jpg/>

I finally took my first little 'baby step' trip in the LiteHouse. Went to a family gathering 200 miles away, and merely stayed in my folks' driveway for a few nights ... but I did gain a bit of confidence, learn to hook things up, etc. It also meant that I could have the dog with me, and safe from the Florida heat during the party. I still do not have the correct 9-pin electrical plug on the van, but the jury-rigged adaptation is doing OK for now.

1st trailer

This is our first trailer, a 1984 13' Perris Pacer that came to us with the name Snowflake. We just bought it a week and a half ago (6-27-03) for a mere $500 and we're thrilled.

A previous owner had drilled about 15 holes up through the roof in an attempt to secure the carpeting on the interior walls and ceilings, so I've been busy plugging the holes and getting rid of the mildew.

We’d be thrilled if anybody could give us some info about Perris Valley Trailer Company. We know they went out of business after about a ten-year run, but that’s about all.

Stephen ... cute little Perris Pacer! Hey, start a new thread and post some interior before and after shots of your rig! Someone will come along who knows all about it ... but until then, I'd like to see more!

I also noticed that our fearless webmaster has added "Perris Pacer" to the ever growing list of our unique little trailers! Talk about on the ball!

Trillium Jubilee

This is our Jubilee. According to the title it is a 1980 model. It sat in a neighbor's yard for two years before I bought it. All the fitting were rusty, the upholstery was rotted, the roof vent had leaked and the floors were mush in spots.
I coreccted those things, added a porta potty, some extra shelving, a small chest of drawers.
It was a lot of work but worth it. We have pulled it from Maine to Florida.
I have never seen another like it on the road.
This is my first attempt to post a response. I hope it works!!!! :lol

The first pictures of my rig

Just received the pictures of my annual trip to Gaspesia. This time with my trailer.:)


<img src=http://www.fiberglassrv.com/board/uploads/3f34f963de2c8rig2.jpg/>
Stopping for the night, somewhere. This is the St-Lawrence River.

Same, elswhere. This is a morning picture.

<img src=http://www.fiberglassrv.com/board/uploads/3f362d7704e41rig4.jpg/>
Surely beat a shopping center parking lot for an overnight stop.

Camping in Percé, the water is Gulf of St-Lawrence.

Pull out counter space.

The darker door was a propane heater but is now linen storage.

<img src=http://www.fiberglassrv.com/board/uploads/3f3573be493f3AC vent.jpg/>
AC vent.
I covered the window with plexiglass and created a little vent window. It's barely visible from outside. I intend to make a vent out through the camper wall at some point.

Mark... Great little unit! I'm rebuilding my Play Pac and decided to go with the portable HVAC unit also... I'm building it into the cabinetry for the new galley, so you don't see it unless you need it. Does yours have the heater also? The one I got has both.

AC

Eric
My air conditioner does not have the heater function. We use a small ceramic heater and it keeps us toasty.
I am thinking about building my ac unit in too. I want to vent it through the trailer wall but I'm not sure where yet. Also I will have to create a drain for water that collects in the lower tray.
I will be very interested to see how you build yours in.
I would like to see the interior of your rig sometime.
E-mail me any time tonniebird@juno.com

Mark :cool

A/C Unit?

I've never seen an A/C unit like that. What brand is it, and where might I get info about purchasing?

Our 14' Burro has lots of windows and a power roof vent, but nothing beats cold air on a hot day!

Hey Al

Where did you get that tarp set up? It looks like just what we were looking for. Well, we want an awning, but that isnt going to happen for a while. Like maybe when we get out truck and 5th wheel.
