CURRENT WORK SCHEDULE
If you are interested in working with us on a project, please call and ask for a TRAILER PACKAGE, to receive a current list of the few trailers that we still left.
We are SWAMPED with a handful of projects & are trying to finnish up those orders before the year l 2010!!
If you have any plans on buying one of out trailers in the near future i suggest you don't waste anytime on getting your foot in the door!!!
We do have several others started, so check the current list, as these generally sell well before they are completed.

NOTE!!! We have not purchased many trailers this year, as most of the ones we have inspected were not worth buying! I just got back from a buying trip, and none of the trailers I looked at were worth anything. I told one dealer I wouldn't take his trailer if he paid me to- it was in such bad shape. Yet this trailer was priced at over $6000.00! Be careful out there buyers! People are expecting to get a lot for trailers, even though they are junk!
 

ENVIRONMENTALLY CORRECT TRAILERS!!!!
For 15 years Tad has created the ultimate in healthy and environmentally correct travel trailers. While also rebuilding many trailers to their original historical state, Tad takes "tired" trailers and strips them down to the bare bones. Starting with a quality frame and shell, Tad designs and rebuilds these beauties into leading edge living and traveling environments. Using non-toxic materials, Tad creates exciting interiors that may include solar power, energy efficient shells, increased electrical power systems, and updated systems and appliances.
 

CUSTOM SHOPS!!!
Our full service metal and wood shops are busy with custom designed creations for both our trailer and home projects. We control all aspects of  high quality healthy wood work, including providing safe undipped or unsprayed native and exotic woods, cutting, fabrication and finishing, using specialty  non toxic sealers in an environmentally controlled shop.
Our metal shop is also busy preparing parts and interior finishing items for trailers and other  projects. From design to delivery, we offer quality control and custom creations you will find no where else in the world.

DESIGN DIRECTION
We are excited about a couple of  projects that we are doing this year, including period renovations where original interiors are rebuilt, and two with super modern interiors with up to date conveniences and  modern fixtures. Coming shortly will be photos of a project just completed, with a custom built stainless steel countertop, ceramic cook top, solid wood cabinets and blue and white checker board floors! This is the first of a number of more modern designs we have slated and designed for this year. Tad is working with a number of clients that require both high quality design, materials and fixtures, and a clean modern look!  Though we will be doing rebuilds of original interiors on a couple of trailers as well, the clean modern designs we started a number of years ago, seem to be the full focus this year.

TIP O' DE  HAT!!!
Many thanks to all the people who have helped us acquire new trailers. Peter Noseworthy in Glouster Mass - GREAT TRAILER THANK YOU SO MUCH! Vincent in Pennsylvania, Paul in Vermont, and a special thanks to David and Clayton Turner in Georgia for their help and care, our new friends in Connecticut for all the help, wiring etc. to  get our "new" old bubble on the road home! Thank you Tony in Mass. for your sweet little Airstream, and also to Peter in Kennebunkport Maine for a great Royal Mansion!  And a tip o de hat to Jim Turner out in my old home town of Jeannette Pa for his continued help.
Please remember most of the trailers we get are rebuilt for people with housing difficulties, and we appreciate getting all types of  aluminum skinned older trailers that may not look so good inside!
 
 

HANTAVIRUS ALERT!

This is a simple note to all  Airstream and trailer owners of the very serious health risk posed by Hanta virus. This disease is common in contaminated homes and work places [ESPECIALLY older buildings, as well as old trailers] where rodent activity, particularly stool, urine and bodies have been left, especially in contaminated wall and ceiling cavities. Use caution not to stir up and breath dust, or touch surfaces with bare hands. Use gloves and bleach [ 1 1/2 cups per gallon] or alcohol to decontaminate surfaces. Get dust and dirt wet or damp before working with it, to lower the ability for dust to spread or be breathed in.

Older trailers, especially 60's trailers and earlier, are almost all filled with mouse contaminated insulation. Almost all the trailers we have worked on are filled with serious contamination. If you have an old trailer, be very aware of the odor that is coming from it, especially in wet or damp weather, where those odors can become quite strong. We recommend any trailer with this type of contamination be completely torn apart, removing interior wall panels, including under pan area, to eliminate all contaminated materials. This is a serious problem, and is fairly standard for early 70's trailers on back.
For more info on Hanta virus, contact the CDC.

MAX AIR ISSUES
After testing MAX AIR VENTS under different weather conditions, it has become clear that these will not stop water infiltration. These should not be left opened all the time or rain and snow will enter the trailer. Our testing included leaving numerous vents opened through the four seasons under all weather conditions. Wind blown rain, foggy damp conditions, heavy downpours and snow all filter through, in some cases creating extreme water penetration. Anyone installing these vents should be aware of their limitations, and always close vents up during long periods of absence and during extreme weather.

WINTER DAMAGES

We have been called for a number of repairs jobs for trailer that were unattended during the  winter months, where snow loads caused structural cave ins and dented roof and wall panels. Snow build up this past winter caused serious problems all over the north east, and repairs to return trailers to original conditions may be difficult. Interior wall studs have been bent and broken, causing wrinkling of both interior and exterior panels, stressing of rivets and opening of rivet holes and seams. The best solution for these problems is removal of damaged panels and installation of new studs and panels. In some cases, new panels can be installed over the old  ones, but this may be the case in rare instances only. Damages were basically focused on the long run opened areas where no interior wall sections protrude into the mid section of the trailer, especially in larger trailers from the front cowling back to the first wall section at the back of the kitchen area.

We recommend that anyone with problems of this type, at least  have the trailer properly sealed to prevent further water damages, whether the trailer is to be properly rebuilt or not.

Winter is coming!!! In future winters, extra support with a 2x4 or two resting between the floor and interior ceiling studs will help prevent damages. In fact, running several 2 x 4's horizontally across the high point in the roof, supported by other vertical members, would be best in heavy snow load zones.

There are always a number of  projects in progress at our site. Projects vary from stripped clean room trailers, to full dress antique trailers, which are decorated to the hilt!  Check out our photos, with more to come!
 

WORK IN PROGRESS
   The gutted interior of the 1960 Airstream Ambassador. This is really where we start all our projects, with all the interior materials removed, and the wall adhesives ground off the aluminum panels.[ note the far end cowling area and the buffed looking finish. This area was solid tar before cleaning. This tar, even though 40 years old and flaking off in some areas while thick and gooey in others, still smells very badly. Consider what this odor or the toxics from this would be like in a wall cavity that could reach 200 degrees in the hot summer sun!]. The floor and lower pan will be scrubbed clean before new insulation and decking are added. New safety glass was added to certain windows, and the lower pan refastened. There are several structural members in a bad state, these will be replaced. A specially designed and insulated deck, installed to prevent water and air infiltration will be added to increase insulation R value, strength and to reduce frame and body flexing.
