Question Recommendation for a Boler restoration

Last summer I purchased my 1977 17’ Boler and did some minor esthetic work on it. I plan on having many adventures for years to come however she needs a complete re-do inside and out. Unfortunately I do not have the skills to do it myself. Can anyone recommend someone in British Columbia who could do it for me? I am in Langley but could bring it anywhere for the right person / business.

I'm thinking your going to have to throw 20g at someone to get a worth while job. Maybe more.

Yes, likely it will be a costly endeavour I know. The pains of not having the skills that others have I guess. Plus I plan to keep it for many many years to come so that I can continue my love of road trips once my teens have no more use for me.

Maybe contact Escape trailers. They may have the contacts and might be willing to share.
There's a few fiberglass rv manufacturers in BC sounds like they're all back logged so sending you elsewhere wont hurt them.
You never know where the answer will come from.
Good luck in your quest.

I wonder if the people who make the Armadillo trailers in Armstrong could be of any help? Worth a phone call at least.

I talked to the owner of Armadillo trailers and he was interested in making a 17' version of the Armadillo. He might just take you on to get a better look at a 17'.

I've talked to those fellows at a Bolerama and they certainly have the "modern" equipment in their rigs. They may well work only on production of their rigs however?
Again, I think there is a fellow in Chilliwack who works on RV's (Glen's RV Repair and Service) and (Grandpa's RV Repair)
and the people at Travco in Burnaby are all good resources for advice and suggestions.
