This is a 1953 Lighthouse Travel Trailer built in Chicago Ill. It is 28 feet long, 8 feet wide and 11 1/2 feet tall overall. I do not know the weight. The
trailer is a double decker or "Duplex" type trailer with two bedrooms. I can actually stand
up in the upstairs bedrooms and I am 6'2" tall. The design is very unique and this trailer is a rare find.
Of course the trailer needed major renovations. The paneling in the trailer has been water damaged in places.
The entire ceiling in the up stairs bedrooms will need to be replaced. Also much of the paneling in the kitchen. This is a project trailer for sure.
There are a few soft spots in the floor. The major soft spot is in the downstairs hallway between the living room and the kitchen which is where the
bathroom is located.
Most of the cabinets are in good shape and just need a little cleaning up. Most the windows are intact and working except one triple pane window in the
livingroom which has been replaced with a solid window. There is no heater. The water heater is electric and is located in the
kitchen at the present time. The roof will have to be repaired in the
center of the trailer and the area is about 8 X 10 feet that needs to be replaced. Most likely the framing will need replacement as well in that area.
