The Bargman door handle is the most valuable part on that trailer LOL... The first thing I always do before I even leave the property with a trailer is put new tires on it. You're going to do it anyhow. So just do it now.
Yeah I'm pretty stoked that the door is in as nice of shape as it is, and the handle seems to be working reasonably well also! If I would've been going any further I certainly would've brought wheels, and a flatbed, lol.
Hey Conan! Best of luck with your new Mobile Scout! I'm the guy who is doing a frame up on a '69 Play-Mor just like yours. Mine is just a frame (repaired, POR coated, wheelwells fabbed and new jack installed) with the exterior walls saved as a pattern. Due to health issues and life getting in the way, haven't done anything to it since last summer, but your journey with campers is an inspiration for me to get busy on mine, which will be a mobile studio/inventory storage for my wife's business (custom aprons and sewing). THANK you for posting!
Me too! 69 playmor, right now its just the frame with the walls saved for a pattern. Working on getting the rust off and painting the frame right now! I will be fixing mine up to travel! Best of luck to you!
@@auddie_equinox I highly recommend using POR-15 to paint your frame, as it converts existing rust into an impermeable surface, and keeps moisture away from the steel, preventing any new rusting.
Thanks! The Mobile Scout is built a bit more like the Play-Mor, so it should be familiar to work on. I might be switching back and forth between it and the Aljo that I've got to get rebuilt ASAP!
@@TrailerTrashtoTreasure I've got a question about Sketchup. Do I need to purchase Sketchup and then use the model of your Play-Mor?? I have zero experience with 3D modeling.
You can use their free browser based version of sketchup. They don't put it front and center on their website but go to app.sketchup.com/app?hl=en and that ought to get you started. Then you'll need to load my model into the app.
Great project! Wondering where you are getting your new skins from? I just bought some from Atomic Trailer for my 71 Serro Scotty. Great people to work with and very reasonable prices! Can’t wait to see you put those new skins on! Thanks for all your hard work and posting’s 👍
You know I haven't quite decided yet, but I've got a few ideas. I've heard of Atomic Trailer, but last time I ordered some I got them from Hemit Valley RV and it was a good experience!
As with your other trailers it will turn out well because of your attention to detail. All will be good in the end. I look forward to watching the progress.
I think it's going to be a pretty simple build, and basically a copy of our Aljo photo booth camper on the inside. I'm kinda just trying to decide if I want to build them up alongside each other at the same time. It might be quicker that way, but they're constructed a bit differently so maybe not?
I mean, I have technically SEEN worse, but this is definitely the worst one I've ever bought, and maybe the worst one that I think someone actually tried to tow (other than me).
Oh, I'll take about any old camper. I actually really enjoy making 3d models of them, I just always have to remember that I don't have unlimited funds for these projects!
Well, you buy them like this for three things, a few reusable parts, the "plans" to rebuild it, and the potential to title it as an original camper (and that's probably the most valuable part).
I usually won't consider buying a camper if most of the windows aren't there. It's just nearly impossible to find the right size and style of window to fit, so you've just got to try and buy anything and everything that's close and try to make it work. You can buy some parts and try making your own from vintagetrailersupply.com, but you're pretty limited by what they stock. Good luck!
@@TrailerTrashtoTreasure thanks so much for the reply! It's one window, really only the glass of it, I can probably salvage the frame, it's just really bent up. Thanks again
I don't actually. I've always (to this point anyway) been able to reuse the original skins, but this is going to be the year of newly skinned campers (and I've got three of them in the works now!). If you want to see me put the old skins back on the Play-Mor you can watch it here: ruclips.net/video/6DYHKFKnQEg/видео.html I'll preface this video by saying that it was an old video so things weren't quite as...polished(?) as they are now!
Hey Honey, look what followed me home, can I keep it! 🤣😂🙃
Oh Katherine supports this silly addiction. Actually she's the reason for it, lol!

@@TrailerTrashtoTreasure Be glad your inner aluminum door is i good shape as well!
I'm actually really surprised by how nice the door is overall--probably the best door I've ever had on one of these!
I am glad I watched to the very end because the sound of that trailer being pulled down the street was pretty hilarious! Good luck with your rebuild!
I'm actually pretty surprised that came through so well in the audio, lol!

I was pretty defeated about my Shasta project this weekend, but this is putting things in perspective! 😄 Thanks for sharing
Well, if yours is like mine, just keep telling yourself that it's not like you could make it worse! LOL
I am refurbishing a 1956 Kenskill Canned Ham into a Photo Booth! I look forward to your posts 👍
Sounds like a fun project! If you stick around you'll get to see me do this twice!
Ha. You are a TRUE glutton for punishment! I look forward to watching this transformation.
Ha ha, I look forward to watching it as well!

You call it the worst and I’m thinking it’s not that bad.
I mean, I have technically SEEN worse, but this is definitely the worst one I've ever bought, and maybe the worst one that I think someone actually tried to tow (other than me).
YEA, YOU MAY NEED THE WHY DID YOU SAFE THIS ONE MONENT. I AM ONE TO SEE THE POSSIBILITIES WITH YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS. SO LET THE BUILD BEGIN.
Oh, I'll take about any old camper. I actually really enjoy making 3d models of them, I just always have to remember that I don't have unlimited funds for these projects!
I have the same problem!!! LOL
It's an addiction for sure!
You just have to see the potential.
Well, you buy them like this for three things, a few reusable parts, the "plans" to rebuild it, and the potential to title it as an original camper (and that's probably the most valuable part).
Where do you get your replacement jalousie windows?? I can't find them to save my life
I usually won't consider buying a camper if most of the windows aren't there. It's just nearly impossible to find the right size and style of window to fit, so you've just got to try and buy anything and everything that's close and try to make it work.

@@TrailerTrashtoTreasure thanks so much for the reply! It's one window, really only the glass of it, I can probably salvage the frame, it's just really bent up. Thanks again
Oh well yeah, then just do your best to straighten it and you can cut your own glass or have about any hardware store cut it for you. Good luck!
Lol hey that has the same odd triangle window mine has!
I'm not an expert on Mobile Scouts, but I think that was one of their design features; although, not exclusive to them by any means.
EXCITED!
New projects are always exciting!
Hey Conan do you have a video on installing new skin
I don't actually. I've always (to this point anyway) been able to reuse the original skins, but this is going to be the year of newly skinned campers (and I've got three of them in the works now!). If you want to see me put the old skins back on the Play-Mor you can watch it here:
