Ugh...continued

Well... I replaced all the plugs....and still no blinky. There is something wrong with the socket. It got dark..so the saga will continue tomorrow. I hate to do it..but I may have to just use the magnetic lights. :(

Trailer lights,,,, UGH!

Well... the bulb was blown, but that isn't the only problem. I think I have found the problem.... I have multiple connectors to go from a 6 to 4 pin. The 6 pin on the trailer had one terminal that was VERY corroded...despite being only 6 months old. Must be all the rain we have had. I took it apart and cleaned it...but I think I need to get a new one. Worse come to worse... I will geri-rig my magnetic ones on. Hopefully I can fix the lights tomorrow. ugh.

Blinker bulb blew....ugh!!!

My left rear bargman bulb blew. I took the bulb to an auto parts place...and they sold me the wrong one. So...now I will have to search the forums to find the right part number. Today I installed a new 12v light fixture so I can read in bed. I got it at vintage trailer suppley. It was easy to install...and is nice and bright. I also finally took my tire with the slow leak to get fixed. There was a nail in it. Now....just gotta get a bulb for my next trip!!!!

Garry's Metzendorf

It is always great to see photos of other Metzendorfs. No two seem to be the same. I have gotten great ideas for my trailer. I really like the access to the storage box on both sides of the trailer. Mine storage is like a deep dark hole.

I love the travel stickers on the door!

Get your own Metzendorf!

Well this one I found is actually a 1970. From what I understand, the company was sold around 1963. You can still see some of the original design in this one.... if you love 70's decore..this is the Metz for you!

Our asking price is $1900.00 but will consider your best offer. Thank you.

Beaverkill Again!

I went to Beaverkill this past weekend...instead of working on the camper before a big trip to the Dacks. I had a spot once again on the river. I took the photo of the dorf from the river's edge. It was down a bit and had warmed up. I think all the big fish were sleeping...or went to cooler waters. I had a lot of nibbles...but no fish this weekend. I did see a green hummingbird, canvasback ducks.... and a lot of guys wearing a lot of fishing gear. They didn't catch anything either.

Waxing the camper

I only have waxed on side of the trailer. Due to oxidation...the dirt just sticks to her. After my last trip I washed the exterior and realized how dirty she was. So...today I am going to wax the camper and try and get most of the aluminum polished. I also think I am going to paint the rest of the front of the trailer where the paint is pretty worn, but not enough to strip it down to aluminum.

My sister bought a 1960 Shasta 14 foot camper. She is planning on putting her camper into the local vocational program, (BOCES in NYS) to have it painted. She did this with her car and they did a good job. She only has to pay for the paint. It takes a little longer...but it is during the winter. I may consider doing the same if hers turns out good.
