We bought a 1964 Aloha travel trailer, gutted the rotted-out inside completely, fixed a ton of rotted out wood, put in much better insulation, new paneling, nicer vinyl flooring, and office furniture to make me a home office parked in our backyard. Not much good for camping anymore, but I work out there several days a week (I have a space heater and a portable air conditioner, so it's good for all seasons here in Vancouver, Washington). I hope to use it for many years this way. (this might be worthy of a blog post here, actually, not just a comment...)
We are just beginning our restoration on our 57 Aloha. So excited!

oh cool, great work. I think a lot about how to update these for modern times and this is a great example. Consider posting to the Aloha Flickr group?
