Hello, all!

New member from Hadlock, Washington State checking in...
We've got too many trailers around here, and we've decided that this is the year that some will have to go!
That's NOT a sales pitch, believe you me. The oldest one is the same age I am (born: 1952) and is about as well preserved, if you know what I mean.
They all need work, and this site sure seems to have a lot of helpful folks.

Looking forward to learning a lot from you all,

Francesca

Welcome to the forum. Hope you get to use at least one of the trailers.

Francesca:

Do you have a relative in Anacortes? The reason I ask is that a storage lot that used to be a drive-in movie theater has sprouted about 50 elderly aluminum-skinned trailers. They all look like they need some TLC - badly oxidized skins, some broken windows. The majority seem to be Airstreams, but there are Avions and a few others in there also.

What they're all there for, nobody seems to know.

Thanks for the welcomes, all!
The Trillium4500 is my "working trailer"- it's been all up and down the West coast behind my '97 Kia Sportage.
The others have accumulated by various routes, and it's those we're going to fix up (or get rid of!) this year.
And yes- I do have a relative in Anacortes- but it's my 88 yr old Mother-in-Law.
I'm pretty sure that she's not secretly in the used trailer business, but- you never can tell about that older generation!
