Early 60's Adirondack - Vintage Travel Trailer
The Adirondack is similar to the vintage Metzendorf travel trailer in profile. This one is a work in progress - and has become nearly a complete rebuild. Other than the very solid and overbuilt drop down floor almost everything structural on this specific little trailer has been redone or reworked by a team of three - Me, Myself, and I. Girl Power - it's a wonderful thing.Work Completed: New plywood walls and sub-floor as in the original, new roof joists, and the aluminum skins are back on. I have also made and installed new plywood seating front and rear and made a unique counter top and storage from a large old aluminum suitcase.
Still Needed: New birch interior wood installed on walls, seats, and cabinets. Roof reinstalled. Sanding and Exterior paint. "New Old Stock" 9" Asphalt Floor Tiles I have been saving for this trailer also need to be installed, and a few various other knick knacks like curtains, bedding, cushions, etc....to be updated as it happens!
Sept. 30 - Roof is on - Body Paint is on. Now to get the windows done and installed. Need to get it water tight before the rains hit.
To see a completed trailer with a wood interior, view the last one I have posted - a 1957 Cardinal - the interior turned out exceptionally pretty - There is nothing like the old birch wood interiors - they really glow.
Adirondack Table Base / Leg - Small Tree Trunk I Have Had a Few Years
The Dinette Table Top - A Slab of Wood - Amber Shellac x 6 Coats
Dining Table - Not Installed, Just a Dry Fit To See How It looks
