Re: Vikx....did you get that trailer down from Canada?
Cool looking trailer. Has a certain classy look to it. Plus the photos make it look to be in pretty nice shape. Or are the photos misrepresenting things?

Thanks for all the input and ideas! The upholstery is absolutely perfectly done, tho off in color. I've racked my brain trying to make the yellow go with black and is it coral? brick?reddish ? Weird,...

Does anyone know about cast iron plumbing? The Shasta has a heavy vent/drain pipe running from under the trailer (with a tee) to the roof. In the middle, it has an ell for the kichen sink. How would...

Thanks Rob. Getting to the pipe is going to be interesting; it's built into the shower wall. I didn't look close enough to see if it is steel but the fittings are cast iron. Underneath is a mish mash...

More than one "Former Owner"! You're funny. VK VK, Yes...I should have said former "owners".I didn't mean to imply that your friend made a mess of it, only that former owners in general are usually...

Didn't take your post that way at all! My friend was actually a meticulous person and tried to "help" the trailer. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to get that far...so here I am. Saving a Shasta. One...

You can do it! :) I agree with Rob on the hammering the cat iron out. You are going to have to take the shower out anyway....aren't you? *Liz ducks as Vikx throws a chunk of cast iron at her* We will...

I'm NOT TAKING THE SHOWER OUT. yet. :o) Was out there today studying. The framing isn't bad and cabinets are OK, needing TLC but sturdy. Here's the plan: pull the bottom side metal, along with the...

Thanks Rob, I was a little surprised as these are the first Robertsons I had on a vintage trailer. Not sure if I'll go with them again; depending on how easy stainless are to drive. VK

Both my Boler and Bigfoot use all Robertson drive screws. I like them. I was able to get all of them out with a little effort. I have a dental pick I use to clean the rust and gunk out of the head so...

I love Robertson's screws. Well, at least on todays vehicles. When we get a motorhome in the shop with interior panels needing removal I know that I will be able to remove the screws. They are so much...

The Robertson screws are becoming a curiousity. This is the first trailer I've had with them and it came from Canada. I wonder if some Shastas were made in Canada? Odd. I haven't been a fan of square...

I'm a big fan of SS screws. I order mine from McMaster-Carr by the box. They are not cheap but boy are they nice. I think my hardware budget on the Boler was more than anything else. I need to order a...

Has anyone tried the stainless screws from VTS? They don't have a slot. You just use a hex drive which seems easier to me. Mine are so gunked up with paint it's unbelievable....
