This darling little trailer is onto its new life. it will be a safe space for people to have therapy sessions and counseling. This doctor uses horses to help treat and help her patients heal and overcome their trauma. the trailer will be staged outside the horse corals for patients and for the doctor. I am honored to have been able to create this project with the doctor and hope life’s can heal within her. we also made sure the doctor could still take the trailer out camping when she herself needs a little get away.

Unfortunately the original cast lights on the ceiling did not survive over the last 82 years. Trying to find period correct lights that are small, not super heavy, and can mount to a ceiling is impossible to find! Through my extensive search for 6 lights that are period correct, I had discovered what are called head board lamps. They were very common and popular in the 30s to the 60s. They were the perfect size. the tricky part was that they have a bracket with hooks to hang over a head board. After several designs I finally settled on this design to mount the lights to the ceiling. Each light is different with a unique Art Deco design. I am so excited with how well these look inside of my 1940 westcraft royal.

This jayco camper might not be my usual line of work, since it’s not very old. It is from the late 80s, But it is still older than me! 😘I really enjoyed the bunk bed addition! This trailer is ready to have a family of 5 hit the road and go camping!

I love what I do. Sometimes it can be a lot of work. It helps if you dance while you work……The 1940 Westcraft trolly will keep its original patina look inside. For 82 years the trailer has only had a few minor leaks. which has caused only discoloration In a few sections of wood. No structural damage or mold. A total of 3 areas were rebuilt but that was very simple. Being so original, I am not redoing the entire interior. I am working on reconditioning, moisturizing and sealing the wood to preserve the aged patina.

So if you saw my story post yesterday, you know about my 1940 westcraft royal. The westcraft trailer has always been a dream of mine to own and restore. After owning the trailer for 2 years, I finally began the restoration yesterday. It’s a classic case of the trailer restorer doesn’t have time to restore their own trailer. I was so excited to finally begin the restoration of what I thought would be my forever trailer. However, I knew of only one other trailer in existence that would ever make me sell or replace the Westcraft. It is an extremely rare trailer to find. I had to be realistic with myself, like I’d probably never own one. But a girl can dream!……..Well here I am today buying that one and only trailer! This is my all time unrealistic dream. This is our “new” forever trailer! It is a 1951 lighthouse deluxe. It is a 2 story trailer which has 2 bedrooms upstairs. Full kitchen, bathroom and living room packed into 28ft. I’m still moving forward with the westcraft restoration and it will be for sale in November 2022.

Sold and on the road…. Well sort of! I am sad that I will not be restoring this one of a kind custom built 1958 silver streak jet that was made and used by so cal Edison. However I think this trailer has found it’s perfect home in LA and will stay as an office.

This super unique 1958 silver streak jet was custom built for Southern California Edison as a mobile office. Only a hand full of these were made as they were custom built. If you’re looking for an innovative way to have an office at home and not invade a spot inside the house? Homeschooling your kids? Have a home business? Or want to create a mobile store then you definitely need this baby! She is for sale as is for $14,000. OBO.
Trailer is solid. It needs a few window glass panels replaced but it is something you can do for under $200 Yourself. Electrical works. The vents have been replaced with original style aluminum vents, not plastic junk. Countertops in great shape. Some cabinets have had moisture and delaminated a few. Some paint will go a long ways and transform this trailer completely! Floors are solid and have no soft spots, I definitely would put in a fresh flooring like vinyl or laminate. Open to reasonably offers! This trailer is the perfect diy project!
