Maintenance & Restoration

Thomas Haney · 07-24-2012, 05:05 PM

Hello,

FOR FREE to a good motorhome

I have the fiberglass panel that is the front bench of a 1974 Boler.
I also have the backrest which flips up to become the upper bunk.
Additionally I have the support bars that hold the bunk in place.
I do not have the lower front seat cushion.
If I were keeping this stuff, I'd recover the dirty plaid fabric of the backrest.

Note that these things are nearly six feet long. I don't want to ship them, I'm sorry to say. But I would hold them for some good time for a plan to be made to pick them up in San Jose California

I found the cushion for the lower seat now! I thought it was gone.
but it's also part of the deal

hi thomas,
i have just joined this forum and have just picked up a 1973 Boler + it is missing the support bars. i am in new york state, so a very long way from san jose... i would love the bars if you were into just them. i could send ups over + prepay it, but this really depends upon your kindness. thanks very much!

Hello Boler Boy
At the moment, I'd like to wait to see if someone wants all of the front bunk equipment in a batch. If someone wants my bunks and cushions, it would be a shame if they didn't get those support bars too.

If nobody wants this stuff after a while, you're first in line for the bars

thanks very much, i would need the base as well, but as i am in the north east, it was too much of a hassle to even ask for the other pieces. if nobody claims them, i would only be too happy for the posts.
best,
stephen

I wonder if someone is going to be passing my way on their trip your way.
I've had heavy machines moved across the country via this kind of kindness.

I wonder if we might be able to setup a forum subdivision called "passing your way" where people might post their need and others might check it just in case their trip follows one of the paths of need.

Just wondering....
because it would be great to get you this stuff

Check the length you need, the ones from Scamp should work @ $25.00 + shipping / pair.

Great idea Thomas, I've done a few times here. Sometimes even pony express style, from one person to the next much like people do with rescue dogs.

I'm very interestedin these. My son lives in Santa cruz,ca. and would be able to make the pickup . Do you know it these would fit in a perris pacer ?...or could you possible provide some measurements ?

Thomas Haney · 08-02-2012, 03:06 PM

Alan,
As we discussed, these are now yours to make fit anyhow you can manage.
Little cuttin' little gluin, little covering up mistakes and it will be good as new.

I did not make any measurements of these things thinking that they will go to a good home in a similar beast. Measuring rounded items is susceptible to error. So I don't have measurements.

And another good thing is the ease of transferring them to a third party who lives near me and will go down toward you. No shipping!!!!
Gotta love it.

Good Luck Alan

They should fit fairly close if not the same. The Perris Pacer may have come from early boler American molds. The bodies were the same, not sure if the benches and cabinets were. You will have to post your results Alan.

i realize that the bottom fiberglass bunk was cut apart to allow for a little toilet to fit. it is something that i really don't think that i need and am looking for a complete piece of fiberglass... so any leads would be great.. also need the 2 bunk support posts...

the wooden brace that support the bunk is not in great shape, any suggestions on how to put a new one in?

thanks,
stephen

There are different front bench seats depending on when and where your trailer was made. A picture would help find what you are looking for.

If you are talking about the pressed wood that is just below the window, you can replace it with a new piece of real wood. Either glass it in or use something like the 3m marine adhesive 4200 mentioned elsewhere here in the forums.

Hi,

Is this still available? I'm down in the L.A. area, but my family is up in the Bay Area , and I've been wanting to take a little trip up there anyway!

Just let me know. Thanks!
