I just recently pulled my Lo-Liner out of the barn after not being able to camp for the last two years due to summer work keeping me away from home. I have been looking for some information on some replacement parts. I was able to find some replacement 12v lights for my interior but i was interested in finding a furnace and replacement fridge. For the furnace i believe the previous owner pulled it out and the inside just has a piece of bathroom paneling over it. On the outside it has a Coleman vent cover. Does anyone know model information for the one that would have been in here or a good replacement?
I also want to repair/replace my fridge. It is propane/electric and does not work. I have no idea where to begin at troubleshooting it. I'm looking for some suggestions on how to possibly fix it and use the one that's there. If that doesn't work does anyone have dimensions for the fridge slot without tearing it out? I'm thinking about possibly just replacing it with a dorm fridge.

So I am curious, Can you put water heaters in these little trailers or did they ever come with one?

I am looking to replace tires on my 71 Lo-Liner but local tire store can't find tires with an outside diameter to fit wheel well?

We pulled out the bearings to see what shape they are in and the grease seal has a little metal dust ring or something that fits in side the grease seal, which has become really hard to find. Does anyone know where to get Vintage Trailer Parts?

I have a 67 lo-liner that I am going to need tires for and it currently has a 4 lug rim on it.  Does anyone know if I can put a bigger rim on to gain some ground clearance?  Also, as far as baby moon hubs go, does anyone know if the 10 1/2 is the only size.

So some how the cap has gone missing for the outside of our trailer to fill the water tank. Does anyone know where I could find one to replace it? Im very upset about this as I called an rv palce here in my town and he told me they don't make parts for those kinds of systems anymore and I may just have to re-do the system with a pump. Not a happy Glamper right now!

Hello everyone,
I am currently making new cushion covers and am curious about the original design. Did they have zippers or where they just sewn together? I created some and added a side zipper. It was really hard to get the cushion in and I had to really squeeze it in. I doesn't make me want to take them off again. Does anyone have any tips on this? I was thinking that maybe I need to buy longer zippers and do it down the backside of the edge instead of the side.
Thanks!

Well, I was on temporary hiatus while I attended to my business. But I have resumed my restoration. I decided I needed some help, so it took a little research, but I found some locals to assist. This week I purchased my paneling, soooo excited. Bamboo two different tones, negotiated a deal for me and anyone who mentions my name . I will post the link and details on monday. Plus some pics. Will have some new pics for you all this week, hope everyone is well and happy, its summer time, camp time, gotta get my trailer done time, lol!

Can't get any water to come out of the faucet in the kitchen sink. Any thoughts? Filled the holding tank with water and that works but no water comes out when we turn the faucet on.

it's been 2 and 1/2 months, and we've done it!  bettyjean was torn down to the chassis and rebuilt.  by us.  somehow, we did it!

the only thing left is the floor and the exterior.

Last year I left home and spent 2 ½  months traveling and living in my Lo_Liner. I started my trip at the end of December and came home in the middle of march. I met some cool peeps and learned a lot about living on the road. I spent time in Quartzsite and Imperial County. I put less than 2K miles  on the odometer, and never spent a penny on staying anywhere. During the whole time I camped on BLM land and other free places. The last spot I camped was about 8 miles from the Mexican border, near ElCentro. It was awesome there because it was so nice and warm and there are HOT SPRINGS!. While I was there I felt 25 years younger, the heat took all the pain away. This year I plan to leave home at the beginning of December. Here are a few pics of places I stopped.

Hello Fellow Aristocrat owners. I thought I should introduce myself. I bought a 1969 Land Commander at the end of last summer. It needs some work and we have slowly been fixing things as they break or become a nuisance. So far the most trying thing with the trailer has been trying to figure out what is original what is the result of the PO and in some cases what belongs in the mystery hole. Hopefully you guys will be able to help out. I have been spending the last few days perusing older blog post and run across some good information. Well that is about all for now, if it matters to anyone I am located in Orange County California. Have a nice day.

Chris

Does anyone have any ideas on where to find a replacement rock guard for the front window? Ours is in pretty bad shape - 1968 Land Commander.  Thanks to Brion, I saw the one on Vintage Trailer Supply but at $350, it is a little (or a lot) out of our price range.  Any other suggestions?  Craigslist here has been no help.

Thanks,
Megan
