Thank you so much! I have a guy who is going to do the fiberglass work so that the body is tight. Since it has 2 doors, we are planning on closing one of them, as for me I would prefer only one. The driver's side door is in better shape, though most have the doors on the passenger side. Any thoughts? We are going to replace both side windows which were about 42"X16" with similar or a bit larger (not smaller). Looks like the top was either fiberglassed shut with tape and then fiberglassed over or bondo'd. Either way, I plan on having it cut so that it will open. Could you do me a HUGE favor. I need pictures of the pop top, both inside and out so that my repair guy (Brandon) knows what to look for and how it goes. My email address is houserj625@gmail. com. If you could email the pictures along with your phone number (again, as I think you sent it) then I'll reach out to you via phone. I may also have Brandon call to get details as he plans on starting April 24th. Thank you again. I keep telling myself that this is SO SO worth it... though I'm just beginning, ask me again in a couple months.  Julie

Julie, if ever you stay in an RV park, state park, basically any park that has site services, you may find yourself stepping out on a sewer connection in the middle of the night. That's one of the reasons trailers built for use in the US have the doors on the passenger side....

Good to know... So, since I will need to possibly add fresh and gray water tanks, the water hook up will need to be on the driver's side, correct? Thank you!

Hi all... so Julie/Burdhouse sold the Mity Lite... and I'm the lucky one.
I've been wanting for a scamp/burro/etc 13, but its not the right time. I saw Julie's ad last Thursday and bought it a couple hours later. It's a hot mess sub, but I'm really excited to get working on it.
So, shout out to both Julie/Burdhouse and to Spaghetti Road for all the ideas, suggestions, pictures, etcs. I see the vision, and it'll be slow to get there, but what a cool trailer.

Check by the trailer tongue.
I found MLT 5306 stamped there.

Hi everyone! This seemed like a good place to post. I just picked up a 1986 Mity Lite. I'm in the Seattle area. Can't wait to start fixing and cleaning it! I'll try to post a photo.

YOUR SPACEMASTER
You've got a nice one ! Is there paint on the exterior? The frame looks good. Any sag in the floor? It's the same interior design as mine. I'm really curious how this one has been wired and lined for gas. We will be talking !

Sounds good! All the wiring seems good and the gas line seems clean. I'm thinking of creating a Facebook group to share photos and info.

I think it's just really oxidized dark grey. It's got some shine on the lower edges.

That will buff out nicely. Is the material in good shape? Fridge stove sink pump heater? You found a gem.
