This reminds me so much of the trailer my dad bought to go camping in, back in 1972.. dents and all! His was a 1956 Ideal trailer, previously owned by a construction company. The inside was in good condition at that time.. Loved the birch paneling interior! We had a lot of fine memories with the family camping outings.. When the trailer was just parked at our house, My sister and I slept out in it all summer! So glad you found a good home for this one! Folks restore many things.. So why not vintage trailers?? Keep up the great work!
I have a 1971 Shasta Compact trailer......been rebuilt and is solid.....blank slate with no fancy wood work.....will entertain offers....clean title Oklahoma
A ledger or a piece of ledger wood is nothing more than a piece of wood on the paneling that you build the bed or something else off of like a deck in your back yard that is built off of a piece of wood nailed to the wall.
I think if you've got the time /money /skills and space the trailer would be a fantastic restoration project for a professional restorer for an amateur a big headache
I have many women in my class who have never picked up a tool until now and they are building beautiful trailers all by themselves. Many of my viewers have built beautiful trailers out of way worse than this one. Just watch my videos is all you have to do.
@@mobiltec you are absolutely correct. I was a better builder/remodeler/decorator and all my stuff I built had to be unique. That's just me ... this caught my eye because I am a 54 model. And, I have not taken any kind of class. It's in my blood. I'm a craftsman tool woman.
Depends on the parts you are looking for. Vintage Trailer Supply for new parts. trasilertrasher1@gmail.com for used parts. My website has a links page with lots of resources on it. www.cannedhamtrailers.com
Does one have to replace the metal? I like the vintage original unless there's a structural problem. If replacement is for aesthetic purposes, then one could keep it, right?
As long as it's not leaking it can be kept. If leaking it must be repaired or replaced. Just depends on what you will do with the trailer, how you store it and how bad the damage is.
I don't see Naomi running in this Video either. Were they filming her in 1954? I think her mother wasn't pregnant yet. She was at the River of No Return. Ironically Untrue.
@@mobiltec Naomi Watts is the Child of Marilyn Monroe. Supposedly she runs in Lakewood yet I've never viewed this. Not sure what her father's doing, except I'm sure JFK would rather not be in Mafia Confinement. We have Mafia's Choking Everything in America on a Daily Basis.
Yak!! Your landlord wants to charge rent just for storing your trailers? That certainly bites the big one! Looks like a good solid project, but it's a shame you're stuck with getting rid of it.
He started watching that stupid cable show Flyte Camp and Flippin RVs and decided I was becoming a millionaire. So he figured he should get a piece of the action. Well I can't really afford his piece so I have to cut the heard. The more I worked on that trailer the more I wanted to keep it but then again that's how they all are. Wait till you see the one I kept to restore. It was a tough choice but I'm happy with it.
did your landlord say why the increase, your place is nice with what you have to me. did you show this before with a lady living in it and she was to move.
No one has lived in this trailer as far as I know. I picked it up about 300 miles from here last year. My landlord decided he wanted to charge me for my trailers because he saw a buck to be made.
Your opinion is welcome here. To some it's not worth it. To others it is. This trailer actually became an office inside of a big industrial building. It was exactly what the buyer was looking for and he drove all the way from Vegas to pick it up.

Looking forward to your video's sound's like you know how to do some things 👍😉🙏
I have almost 900 videos up on this subject. Take a look at my website. www.cannedhamtrailers.com
Howdy Larry, I discovered Lakewood began making large park models in the late 60s and even double wide MHs in the 70s such as their Gold Medal models.
OH I didn't know that. I really liked that trailer but I ended up flipping it as I had too many projects at the time.

Is there a Craigslist posting?
@@chrisarellanono I have not put it on CL... CRVL and I threw it out on here
@@chrisarellano
give me an email and I will send pics.....no CL listing....been trying to market it to Cheaprvliving people that have homes on wheels
Has so much potential
1954 is my birth year so it's tempting to have this.
It's long gone but I bet you can find another. I'm working on a 54 Jewel right now.
I want a vintage trailer to play in . I just want one for my back yard. I won't be going on the road with it if
This is where I would find me another place to live.
I'm looking Robert... I'm looking.
Hi, I am looking for information on vintage campers called Ledger wood. Any info would be greatly appreciated!!

Where do you get parts for her? We had a 54 but she's smaller!

Wow this trailer needs work

@@mobiltec Thanks very much for the info. That trailer was a little beauty with tons of potential.
definitely a REDO!
I really love this. Do you have any trailers right now?
Not for sale.
Can you live in these in some parks?
Yes! There are Vintage Trailer parks all across the nation. And more are being built...
@@mobiltec Wow nice! thank you.
don't bother replacing the aluminum, why bother if it is sound, it's all original. Love it.
I replaced it. The trailer is finished now.
mine is rare, same fixtures as this one.
I don't see Naomi running in this Video either. Were they filming her in 1954? I think her mother wasn't pregnant yet. She was at the River of No Return. Ironically Untrue.
I have no idea what you are talking about.

@@markcoxleary77 What as that got to do with this trailer tour?
Or football fields for measurement?

I think I wouls have to get a new land lord.
Doug Harder I'm thinking of buying land.
did your landlord say why the increase, your place is nice with what you have to me. did you show this before with a lady living in it and she was to move.
No one has lived in this trailer as far as I know. I picked it up about 300 miles from here last year. My landlord decided he wanted to charge me for my trailers because he saw a buck to be made.
So it is a complete and total restoration. Doesn't seem worth it for such a small trailer (just my honest opinion).
Your opinion is welcome here. To some it's not worth it. To others it is. This trailer actually became an office inside of a big industrial building. It was exactly what the buyer was looking for and he drove all the way from Vegas to pick it up.
That's very cool then. At least the trailer got a 2nd chance at life.
