The Evaluation, Part 1

I've started going through the siver beauty and here's what I've found, so far.

Dirt

There is a ton of dirt everywhere in the trailer. The sink and countertop is filthy. The shower is fill of dirt and grime. We live in the desert, in Albuquerque, so the dirt is expected. Lots of dirt, but at least it is cleanable.

The Exterior

The exterior isn't in too bad a shape. Here's what I've found so far

• There is a small ding in the back on the lefthand side.
  
• There are places where steel rivets were used and are much closer together than the factory rivet pattern. These rivets are also rusty.
• There are holes in the skin near the door. These holes look like someone added a lock to the door at one time.
• A few panel fasteners are missing
• The skin has wrinkles in several places as well as some black marks on the side opposite the door
• There looks like a patch in at least one and maybe two places.

Windows

• The window over the sink is missing. The frame is there but one side is bent in.
• The glass in lower window on the left hand side is broken. The glass frame is separated in one corner
• The cranks of the large window just aft of the door don't work
• The trim and seals are, of coruse, dried out and brittle.
• The front and back windoes are intact
• The jalousie window next to the door works, but the seals need replacement
