I’ve been checking in on the Fibreglass RV forum for the last 6 months or so to learn what I can and can now report that I have finally purchased a trailer. It’s a 1987
Cadet “project” trailer.
It looks pretty good from the outside, but it has no interior. That’s fine with me as it gave me a good chance to see the condition of the fibreglass and apart from what appear to be some small holes that were drilled in it all is good. It also saved me a lot of work taking it out which is probably what I would have done any way. It seems to be complete. The side and rear
windows look good. The front window is “flat” and badly yellowed so I’ll probably be replacing it. The frame is in great condition and it came with new wheels and
tires. I towed just great on the 1.5 hr. back roads trip home behind my Jeep. It got a few funny looks but none from the police (… temporary
lights but no licence plate).
I’ve done a fair amount of body work, including a bit of fibreglass, and
painting over the years and I’m looking forward to getting into this. I’m currently finishing off an expedition trailer build (see link below). While doing that I’ll be making plans and acquiring what I need to get on with this one.
No doubt I’ll have a few questions along the way and I’m looking forward to being part of the community!
Cheers … Stew
