This is for a 1964 Fireball Meteor 16 foot travel trailer. I’ve used it for the last 11 years off grid on a remote property I like to visit. It is very original.
I have gone over and sealed the outside against the weather. It was originally owned by a hunter in Utah who pulled it up and down gullies and damaged the very rear of the trailer. That area needs to be reworked in order to make this trailer right.
The interior is original but the thin ply skin shows its age. Brakes and tires are new and I have upgraded the electrical system for 12 volts and solar. I’ve also removed the original furnace, which I considered dangerous, and installed an Atwood forced air heater. I replaced the original roof vent with a Fantastic Fan vent too.
My wife rebuilt and recovered the cushions throughout. Typical of its day, it does not have a water heater, grey water or black water tanks. It does not have a toilet either. It does have a new white-water tank which I have never used. The GE propane fridge is original and works good as does the original stovetop/oven.
As I mentioned a hunter originally owned this doll and had little respect for her. I have found at least 4 small caliber gun shot holes in her all made with a gun pointed down toward the bottom of the driver side cabinetry near the floor… He shot thru the oven too. Floor does not have any soft spots I have found and the frame was gone over when I bought it in 2012…but not since.
This is a doll of a trailer, pretty and classic, which has been a comfortable home away from home but it needs attention to make it really nice. Its usable as is but with attention could be beautiful.
