1965 Shasta Compact Trailer Front Wall Rot Repair, Restoration & Renovation 

Thank you for your video. It is still helpful to folks like me, 10 years after you posted it! I just recently bought a 1965 Shasta compact, and it is good to see the inner structure of how it is built for my own reference and possible future repairs. I love this trailer, mine is pretty much all original and in amazing shape for being 56 years old!

The skin is very minimally attached... Mainly by screws along the edge and depending on what panel, maybe a few screws within the panel. I replaced all the screws with stainless screws, #8 x 1" I believe, as well as replace the sealant tape with modern butyl rubber tape. Do not use the old style putty tape sealant, it dires up and leaks eventually. Use the buytl rubber tape. If you buy the screws online, in bulk, the cost is less than $15 for 100 screws and the buytl tape is inexpensive too.

Nice Video , information and process great . I am faced with the same issues you have there regarding the corner repair. nice solution . thanks for sharing

Sweet vid on a Sweet camper! Thanks for posting.

how do you get the outside skin off? and what screws to put it back in? about how much to do this? thanks

You must remove ALL of the aluminum skin to repair an old trailer properly...

get closer next time, make sure there is no size reference, just yammer on about nothing
