I haven't had much to say about the trailer because we haven't yet hit the road for our maiden voyage.
I posted that picture in the last blog entry, below, for the folks in an online trailer forum because I was trying to find an adapter so that I could hook up to electricity at a campground. It turns out adaptors for that fifty-year-old style of electrical "inlet" don't exist. Not at all. I would have had to pull out the whole inlet and replace it. This turned out to be unnecessary because the former owner located the cord.
The plan is for the maiden voyage to be just a short overnighter to the countryside where I'll try to find the farm once owned by my great-great-great-grandfather.
The big trip will be to Montana in August. There's a company there that specializes in vintage trailer restorations, and I'll have them go over the trailer with a fine-toothed comb to check for leaks and other problems. Also, I'll have them install a shower, hot water, and other necessities.
Then I'll be totally able to live in my new home!
