Compact JR. Radical little trailer!

Maiden voyage.





Turns out Megan is a Pee cock whisperer.



Our Maiden voyage in our new trailer was a successful one for the most part. We decided that we would set up our blow up bed to sleep on before we got cushions for the dinette. The only problem was that the blow up bed decided to get a whole in it on the second night. We packed up all of our stuff around 11:30 pm and drove our butts home to sleep in our own beds.




How we found our sad little trailer. Some may have said that the Compact JR was in her final resting place, but I could still see a little twinkle of potential left in her. Meg and I drove up from California to see family and breath some life into our new little trailer.





Wow what a little cleaning can do.






After a few hours of cleaning, and before our 11 hour trip home from Oregon. What a difference.







Before I took my new 4.5'' disc grinder to the rust, and chipping paint.








Painted hitch. What a difference.









Rusty rim, and hub cap.

Rusty rear bumper before I sanded, and ground all of the rust off.
