The job seems dauntingly difficult but these images of the fun past I had with this little Shasta compact is the reason I soldier on....
My 14 year vintage trailer restoration journey. It all started in 2011 with little vintage Serro Scotty Trailers aptly named “Guppy” (1976 Gaucho), “Geet” (1977 Front Kitchen), “Bob” (1974 Hilander), and “Cali” (1968 Gaucho). “Pip” (1976 Boler), “940 Crowe” - who was crushed by the snow (1961 Shasta Compact ) & “Freida Payne” (1970 Glendale Flyte) My current projects include a 1961-1963 Shasta Compact (Little Susie Shasta) and a yet to be named 1959 Shasta 19’ Deluxe

The slow removal of interior crushed ceiling. Before I can remove the tin roof outside, I needed to remove the broken ceiling wood struts and the curb side and road side cupboards that either had fallen off or were putting tremendous weight on the side walls. The door frame is split and broken and the back window and wall will need to be removed later as water damage penetrated the wood in that are. I don't want her to collapse entirely so I'm getting ready to brace sections from the inside before I remove the tin roof that has split along the s-seam breaks.

Northern Canada Snow Load Damage
I am trying to remain positive.
It’s a roof.
It can be fixed.
It wasn’t swept away by a flood.
It’s salvagable.
(Repeating this message over and over can help convince me not to put a for sale sign on this Old Crowe Avenue camper)
