Looks like spring has hit the Hudson Valley! It is time for me to start getting the camper ready for our first outing. I need to order a new marker light to replace one that got scraped off backing into the garage. My assistant forgot to watch BOTH sides of the trailer! (at least no other damage!) I will order one from Vintage Trailer Supply.
I am not good about keeping a charge on the battery...so I need to start waking her up.
I want to remove the original propane refrigerator and put in basic storage. I may get it fixed....or just keep it for the future owner to deal with. I found a specialty lumber yard -- right around the corner from my new house-- where I can get birch to make a new door. I think the increased storage space will be great.
We are still looking into a replacement for our screen room. I had a hanging tent for a quick up screen room. It worked will to store excess gear, but the 50 MPH winds kinda did the popup structure in. I am looking into all alternatives. I found a tent system I really liked that is made in Australia -- but I it would cost more than my camper. So the search continues.
I am sure the camper enjoyed it's hibernation in a garage at the new house. It was nice to keep the snow and weather off of her. Can't wait to for Memorial Day to head to the Mountains!

Let us know when you've picked a tent. We probably need one too but we haven't done any research yet.
Following your blog of the '62 Metz. I am the lucky guy that bought the '57 Metz in Ohio. Have taken it to many shows, very well received, and starting the restoration.
I just purchased a 1961 Metzendorf. It is hard to find any information on these. Looks like you have a good one. I am also redoing mine as a summer project. Good luck and I'll be checking on your progress. M. Siers
Never found a tent that I liked yet. I think Cabellas makes a good one though.
Sorry I don't check this as often as I should. I changed my email and I don't get notices anymore.
