Boler 1700 Project (Frame Broke!)
Part of the joys of working with Vintage Campers are all the unknowns and surprises.
Earlier in May 2020, we purchased a boler 1700 sight unseen earlier this year from out west and had transported to Ontario.
The tongue broke just outside of Calgary and the person that was transporting it made a few bad decisions like to put it on a uhaul car mover...lol
Uhaul car mover had some damage to the fender and had to be repaired as well.
I had to find a local welding shop to get the repairs done and reschedule with the transport company to return back and finish the delivery.
Lessons learned:
Always safer to get your trailer transported in an enclosed trailer or on a flat bed when buying sight unseen.
New Frames/axles are always a better idea
Never a dull moment when working on these vintage beauties
We are excited to work on this 1700 at our shop and will be turning this boler into our Nomad Showcase trailer!
