Many thanks to my in-laws for storing it at their place for the last six months. 1969 Yellowstone travel trailer I am happy to report that, despite a sketchy tow hookup that doesn't lock to the ball, some last-minute wiring snafus, a considerable amount of dry rot on the tire and of course the fact that it still isn't registered, I did nevertheless succeed in getting it to the house. I need to get the tire off and replaced, but so far the lug nuts, they just won't budge. Instead I decided to pull out the oven and some cabinet hardware and few other things I plan to keep.
