As We Found It

The Tin Pickle was mostly original when we bought her. This was a result more of neglect than of any interest in authenticity. She became obvious that the previous owners had done quick repairs when they had to and that fixit projects were not their strongest suit.

Still, the skin was intact and the size and price were right. We knew we had something that we could camp in while we worked on her.

The trailer had been used as a man cave for poker parties. The rug and upholstery held four decades of accumulated odors.

 The decor is pure 1971, somewhat the worse for wear. The trailer feels amazingly spacious inside, something like a hobbit hole. She has great potential.

These and other pictures will likely be referenced as we chronicle our transformation of the Tin Pickle.
