Like you, I built Chubby on a very tight budget and as I walked past him setting in the side yard I can not help but notice what mother nature has done to him. Without the luxuary of a barn to hide him in , the past 5 years ( has it been 5 years already) of constant weather has taken its toal. Once the housing mess is behind me I hope to be able to repair or replace as need the damaged outer shell and keep my best buddy and pal for another 5 years of campin' fun.
Bob/Scott, I know the feeling also. I gutted mine last winter and gave it a good face lift for the future. Sure, someday it will look weather beaten and tired again but for now the new interior and galley will be like having a new friend to camp with for a while.
Scott, the experience and ideas that you put into the "Stone" will really help if you build (or rebuild) another trailer.
