New Boler Owner in Calgary!
Hi!
I picked up my new-to-me 1974 13' Boler this past Saturday. I'm waiting, albeit impatiently, to get in it to do a few projects in it to get it ready for the spring.
So far, what I have planned is: - Give it a good cleaning - It's not too bad, but still...
- Fix the pesky seams
- Replace the door moulding
- Re-cover the cushions (fortunately I can sew!)
- Replace the curtains
- Remove the furnace (doesn't work, and I probably wouldn't use it)
- Rip out the grimey carpet and replace it with... (haven't decided yet)
- Give the outside a good buffing
- Check ,and re-seal if necessary, the vent and side windows
This is a short list of what I think I will need to do overall... everytime I check out this forum, I find more great ideas and things to check on.

Welcome Anne to the wonderful world of fiberglass trailers! My suggestion is before you do any big changes attend a rally close to you - you will get lots of good ideas on what to do and some not to does.
Have fun with it.

welcome, anne! your list is just the beginning---every time you enter your new-to-you trailer, you will see something else you'll want to modify! being a seamstress will surely save you a pretty penny. and in case you haven't realized it---WE LOVE PHOTOS! especially before and after shots. again, welcome!

Welcome to the forum, We have lived in Calgary since 1997. We have enjoyed our F/G RV and have had it since 1995. We have been doing repairs and "improvements to customize it to our use ever since we got it. We are happy with it, but I doubt that it will look like it does now five years from now.

Welcome Anne
Great to have another Calgarian join the group.
We also own a 1974 Boler, I can see a Southern Alberta meet in the coming years.
