1964 Aloha, 13-footer

We picked up a 1964 Aloha travel trailer, 13-footer, from a lady in Reno who was, ironically enough, selling her belongings to move to Hawaii.  I know she hated to give up this trailer, and it was definitely a score for us!  We are the third owners.

Here are some photos of the Aloha on the day we brought her home, October 22, 2010.

The body was in pretty decent shape.  The middle section had been painted.  The paint now looked more like a "speckled egg" and was, of course, heavily oxidized.

The rear window was missing, and all of the lights needed to be replaced.  The bumper needed a little love too.

This original decal is seen (sort of) on the front and rear of the trailer.

Not a lot going on in the tongue area.  Just kind of a mess.

The Aloha has a tiny little closet that had, among other things, a not-new-at-all porta-potty.  The silver tank you see is one of the original propane tanks.  Very cool!!

There's a little loft space up top and a dinette below.  The dinette area is used for a bed, as well.  Cushions and table are all original.

This is the view from the entry door.  Light fixture and oven are original.  The closet I mentioned is behind the door next to the oven.

To the immediate right of the door is an original dresser/mirror.  Nice.

Here's an original advertisement.  We have the one on the left.
