Then we started looking for another. I should note that insurance helped a lot, in fact it made all the difference with us having good automotive like coverage. In this case

 State Farm. 

 It was a very strong straight line wind storm that dropped a tree on the 78. It did help save my house though. 

.....We searched and found a 1980 Excella, also a 31 footer and very nice inside though needing some tweaking...This trailer was two years newer and quite a few pounds heavier.

that blue stripe was painted on with thick ugly paint. A mistake that needed correcting.

Took a lot to get it off...sanding and stripping to the point it could be covered with an actual vinyl stripe material. 

Restriped and with matching awning...The stripe is glued on, comes pre-glued in rolls.

The vintage awning look added to the color scheme. Awning was made by Awnings by Marti of California. She did matching smaller ones for the road side windows too.

The living area had no couch/gaucho. We added the one from the wrecked Sovereign.

Made a wall mounted table with folding leg and added some Goodwill sourced chairs.

The large Dometic fridge was great, but new flooring was needed.

 It made a great difference. The subflooring plywood was in good shape.
