Shore power



I really wanted to plug the trailer into 120V to see check the electrical. The old inlet is something that I, however had not seen before and a modern standard 30 Amp shore cable would not work. So I replaced the inlet.
Very much to my surprise every single 120V light fixture inside the trailer works and the exhaust fan on top of the stove is working too! As fro the 12V situation, that one is not as straight forward but more about that later.

Curtains

I believe this is one of the original curtains. There are 14 of them and we tried to wash them as gently as possible but they are just too brittle. Too bad because I LOVE the space age pattern. Oh well, luckily the curtains still all have the plastic gliders and we have a good friend with a textile/sowing business. They will all serve as templates and be redone with new fabric.
Suggestions for good quality fabrics are welcome.    

Bella's Inside

Here are a few pics of the inside of Bella. I am a tall guy and appreciate the L-shaped beds. I also think that the full bathroom is quite cleverly located. I intend to leave all interior in place, just ever so slightly sand it down and re-oil except for very few plywood pieces that need to be replaced.

The Zolatone is mostly in really good shape and for now, we will just wash it thoroughly but gently with a soap solution.

The Accordion folding door to the washroom is fully functional and completely intact. Really awesome detail that I did not expect.

You see on the ground that I have already removed all original Armstrong tiles (Asbestos yuck and all). None were nailed down, they came of quite nicely although it was a bit of a fight inside the cabinets and under the cabinetry walls.
