This week and for the next few months we will be working on two Ohio Overlanders, a 1957 double axle and a 1955 single.
Below, new chassis for 57 being fabricated -
On this one we have switched from the 4x2 box to a 5 inch parallel flange Channel to provide extra strength -
New axles, we have ditched the leaf springs and favour of torsion arm to accommodate motor movers -
Torsion suspension was around long before this trailer was built, double click below -
Both the hitch and coupling are German engineered -
Below an award winning composting toilet which eliminates the need for a black tank or cassette. In theory it should never need to be emptied and will discharge into a grey tank. This was kindly leant to us by Airstream and Co -
Then we turn our attention to the 55/26 single -
Below she is getting a first cut prior to lifting the frame -
The first cut reveals a few old etchings -
Inside, the gap between the kitchen and the single beds always seems to turn up something -
Old paper mask -
Old post card from 1960 -
And the joker with a quarter -
Insides carefully taken out for reuse -
First cut reveals good, clean and unpitted aluminium -
