I have had to replace the jack & seal the bottom of the trailer as I live in rural Montana & did not want a rodent problem. I named her Lola & she is a head turner for sure! I use her for fundraising as she draws a crowd...these campers are simply adorable!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14695791800428776644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874472947430780692.post-51305466779780320952015-04-27T20:47:03.527-07:002015-04-27T20:47:03.527-07:00Me and my girl just bought a 1958 Dalton to fix up...Me and my girl just bought a 1958 Dalton to fix up for her vintage boutique!

It came out beautifully; you must be really proud.<br />I have a 1955 Dalton that we were fortunate enough to find as a survivor that had been stored for decades. It was a total time warp inside, complete with all the original melmac dishes, bakelite radio, and vintage fans. The outside is showing its age, but inside, it looks amazing except for some water damage around the vent, which will be replaced this summer.<br />There's not many of these Dalton's out there - maybe we'll see you and your beautiful trailer on the road some day!<br />PS - let me know if you would like to see any pics of ours.<br />Thanks!<br />MargaretAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102409051815509426noreply@blogger.com
