1975 Boler Trailer

There have been a kazillion things that have been added off the 'to do' list for the trailer... who would have thought something so small could cause so much work?! I've been shopping and reading and tweaking, yet somehow I feel like I've gotten nothing done. I started by checking out the furnace (or do you call it a heater in a trailer?). I know this works because the previous owner lit it when we checked out the trailer to buy it. I should have paid more attention to how he lit it. Of course, there were instructions but they were well hidden behind a part of the heater controls. The heater controls that I have no idea what they do... is there an "instant shooting flames" button I shouldn't push? I poked around a bit more until I found the screw holding the instruction label in place (I didn't push the "insta-explode" button nor the "heater-will-never-work-again" button)  and then I managed to extract it from the si...

I bought a Boler trailer. Really. One from 1975. It's a year older than I am! How is it that being in your 40's seems older when you compare it to a physical object of the same age? Last night when we brought it home we had to go to an empty parking lot to practice backing up so that we'd be able to get the trailer into the garage when we got home. That was interesting. This morning we watched YouTube videos on how to do it properly (we weren't too far off in our technique). Apparently I'm supposed to come up with a name for my Boler. Not really sure that's true but it's what all the 'cool kids' are doing.  Some people name it based on the colour, but I plan to change that (not a fan of the current orange and white and sanded and grimey dirt colour that is currently coating my new little capsule on wheels). Some people name their Boler based on the egg-shaped nature of the little trailer - doesn't seem right. ...
