The Boler Project - Ep 1 - I can't believe we got one!

After searching around 3 provinces, we finally found a Boler trailer right here in our own town. It needs a lot of work but that's the fun part! Here's a little tour and preview of what we're going to do with it.

You may have figured this out already but that vertical square silver tube along the door is also structural. Helps with door and shape stability.

@pixels2u 0 seconds ago Just saw in another video that those silver bars are supports important to reinforce that part of the wall and keep the door frame from sagging, which will cause the door not to close properly. They said do not remove it.

👍👌❤️🇨🇦, Boler trailers were manufactured in Earlton Ont, Calgary, Grand Prairie, Winfield, and Trail BC and originally developed and manufactured in Winnipeg

Also the boler American Wichita

Hey. Nice Boler. We just bought one last summer as well. NS. That metal bar by the door, I believe helps support the opening. Or for a screen door. Ours has a little wooden screen door, that a previous owner made.

chrisprice2200 awesome thanks! It’s been a long winter and I’m looking forward to work on it again

I just picked up a 1982 Boler! Yours in much better condition than mine. Demo starts tomorrow. All the best from California

Love Bolers! I grew up camping in one! Loved camping and camping in the Boler left me many memories :)

[@Funkgun]

Man, the door is in great shape, so is that frame.

There is a great video on YT diy two pneumatic wheels on the trailer jack 💕

To clean up the windows, you might try Mother mag and aluminum polish. I use that to clear up my headlight when they get scratched and foggy.

I just bought one too can not wait to make a video but I watched your vid to get a good idea of what I was getting

[@kingpat123]

Thanks! I haven't done much since the cold season started. I can't wait to get back at it.

[@sophiecaissie9250]

How exciting! Can't wait to see the process and end result. Good luck and have fun!

I’m redoing my 1967 unit. Floors done, benches re glassed in (worst job EVER!), and ready to make liveable again. BTW, I’m 7 ft and I share the bed with my wife. I plan to ditch the table for a semi permanent bed because I can’t sit there anyway.

We just bought a 73 Boler so was watching your videos. Haven’t watched ep 3 yet so the window question may be covered but I know with watches with plexi glass you can buy this stuff Polywatch to buff the glass. I also read toothpaste works. Cheers

[@kingpat123]

Thanks!! I tried a couple different diy options. Toothpaste, bug spray, etc. They worked but only temporarily. I ended up buffing it with a product I found at Canadian tire. Turned out ok

[@thatguy_306]

Nice ours had new Window put in so thankfully that shouldn't my issue. I believe my big job will be redoing the lighting and I want to look into solar panels. Although we just picked it up so I still haven't found the 'oh shit' discovery that comes when buying something this old so those plans may change.

[@VioletBird]

Wonderful!!! Than you for sharing

[@pocketchange1951]

That is the first Boler that had plexiglass windows, not sure if that was original

[@deanhunt3943]

CLR might work on your cloudy windows

[@kingpat123]

Worth a try! Thanks!

[@francoislyonnais5210]

Try the product for car head light silvania is a good one
