Propane Tanks Support

While we needed to purchase new propane tanks  from Vintage Trailer Supply, or original propane tank support bracket is surviving and will soon get some attention.  It will be straightened out and sand blasted.

Galvanic Corrosion - Hinge Patch Solution

To work on our door, it was removed from the shell, exposing hidden galvanic corrosion.  The aluminum and steel support behind the upper hinge were both badly damaged.  Repairs will be done in place as we are not replacing the upper curb side panel, and there is no other reason to remove the aluminum skin.

A patch was cut and laid inside the wall, positioned with cleco fasteners.

 

Inside the wall, a thick aluminum patch is bent on one side and is securely attached to the supporting aluminum wall stud.

The hinge is positioned onto the new aluminum patch before it is riveted.

Banana Wrap - Back

Another day.  This photo and message arrived from Colin:
Rear banana wrap metal being reformed back to original.  This is made of Alclad however some areas are very corroded.

  

Regardless, this my trailer has survived 59 years of travel and storage!! And I am so content knowing that we are breathing new life into Byam's 1955 Flying Cloud.
