1973 Invader Restoration...questions???

• Posted by John D on January 10, 2014 at 6:29pm in Vintage & Classic RV Restoration & Purchase
• View Discussions

I just bought a 1973 Invader 19 foot trailer. My wife and I plan on restoring it on the inside, since there is water damage. We feel comfortable with the inside, but can not find any information on them. I took some pictures, and posted the link to the album below.

I do have exterior questions. I am sure other ones will come up over time, but in the mean time...

What is the roof made of? Feels like a convertible, but seems to be in strips. Is it easier to repair (and how) or replace.

Is the underside some sort of foil? I have not pulled the floor yet, but cant tell and was wondering if other then the frame it needs to be sealed?

How much does it weigh?

I know the axels where flipped...from what I read it looks like it was done right. Where can i get more information on them?

I plan on updating the electrical, and was going to add a breakaway brake. I noticed there is wires going to them, but not sure what is actually in them.

where should I attach tow chains to?

Should the hubs/drums be left alone or replaced with modern ones? what electric brakes fit into it?

sounds good. i have done some looking around and most of it just keeps leading to more questions. I am having a hard time finding info on the Invader though. I have only been able to find pics from one other member. 

i feel pretty comfortable with the interior... its the axels, brakes and tires i will have to do more digging on

To address a couple of your inquiries,, the wires to your wheels are for the electric brakes, double axle trailers have electric brakes, Thats the red wires going across the axle. They are just 12 volt magnets on the drum assembly.

Second,, the roof you possibly have is thin sheet metal in sections with a thin membrane of roofcoat applied, hence feeling like a convertable. Safety chains are usually mounted just behind the hitch coupler and you always criss cross the chains when attaching to tow vehicle. But some members have invader models or simliar in here, just search around and use search button to zero the search down..

ok... so i figured thats what they were for. Is there a way to tell if the brakes actually work? how would i go about replacing/servicing them. And what about hubs/drums? Axel/spindles and greasing? I am a little worried since it seems like it still has the original 9.044 inch steel wheels and I am not sure if that is good or bad.

As for the roof, i ripped up a seam and it looks like strips about 2 feet wide stapled to wood. Would i be able to replace the wood, coat/seal the joints and put down some sort of EPDM roof coating?

what is similar to an invader? i am new to RVing

Gonna add,,, those Black brackets on each side of the tongue behind the coupler are for Weight distribution bars, and anti sway bars.,,, I did notice you will need to put some type of sealer around drain pipe,, at least some steel wool or even expanded foam,,, thats a place for critters to get in and make a condo out of your trailer. Thats just an F.Y.I.

i have some weight distribution parts, but am not sure what i am looking at. I will take a picture and post.

as for the critters... it is to late... they have invaded the invader.... but we have taken care of that... now its cleanup time.

You can replace the damaged or rotted wood and replace with a newer roof of materials of your choice,, (Just No Shingles). and make sure its weather/waterproof. 

As far as testing the brakes,, You can use a simple 12v battery or even a 12 v. battery charger and touch the contacts to the 2 wires coming out of the hub assemble and listen for the click of the magnets expanding the brake shoes.

You can pull the wheels off and hubs and check your bearings for sufficient grease. And can also check for Scaring, a hot burn spot on the spindle where the bearings ride.

There ae several options as far as hub assemblies, 4 bolt,,5 bolt etc,,  14 inch wheels,, 15 inch wheels etc.

If your not sure about bearing size,, take a used one from your trailer to reputable RV parts place and they can match what you have.

Lakota... is it more time/energy efficient to replace the roof or repair the current one?

If i was to replace it, I would want to go with a material that is both cost effective and will last a long time, yearly maintance, etc is fine with me. Anything fall into this category?

thanks for the tips on the axels... i will try that one of these days when it warms up a tad outside.

If the roof has several areas that are pretty much wasted and would be costly to repair in the long run, I myself would go with a complete re-roof. That way you can replace cross members and possibly any support down studs that may have been damaged from water. depending on the space between cross beams across roof, You can get away with good grade plywood. You wont need to go 1 inch or anything, thats just to heavy. Take in concideration if you will be walking or storing heavy items up on the roof when deciding how thick of plywood you would need. After you have chosen the size plywood you need, make sure you weather seal it, BOTH sides before installing it. Once you install it, a good roof coat membrane with also weatherproof it, Make sure to seal real good along any and all seams, including along the sides. It may seem like a HUGE project, but put it all in perspective and do a section at a time and it will go smoother and not seem so overwhelming. There are a couple articles in the forums with a few photos on a re-roof project. 

Hope this helps a little for you. And if I can help you in any way, Let me know.

i have been meaning to try out the brakes and do some maintenance on the axels, but the weather and mud is just not permitting....

So I have finally torn into the TT this Saturday. I do not have pictures, but I will try to get some next time I get suited up to go in the thing. Lots of mold and fungus...rotting wood.

I will be gutting the whole thing, so far nothing has been salvageable!!!! GRRR However, it is an metal roof, and the spacing between the 1x1 beams is so big that it has been sagging under the weight of the snow pulling the seams apart. I plan on pulling the entire interior down, getting plywood up against the metal, sealing the roof with eternabond and then an elestamoric coating.  A 2x4 or 2x2 frame to hold up the plywood. I was wondering how the ceiling is usually supported? Will i need to rebuild the wall framing first and then stack the wood frame on top? (I am trying not to pull up the metal roof so I am guessing put the ceiling framing in, shim/shore it up, and then build the wall frame out).

An Overview to the Vintage Shasta Camper: Prices, Specs, and Review

When you start arranging your next spectacular vacation to your favorite campsite, imagine your stay in one of the Shasta travel trailers! These simple-to-tow travel trailers are great for families or couples searching for an easy method to make their camping fantasies a reality.

Introduction to Shasta RV Vintage Trailers

The characteristic wings were first added to the Shasta travel trailer series in the late 1950s and remained on trailers and even some motorhomes until the early 1980s, when they were discontinued. During this time period, the Shasta trailer brand was the most popular trailer brand in the United States. That is why, even after all these time, “Vintage” Shastas continue to be so popular and readily accessible everywhere you look.

By the beginning of 1963, Shasta had expanded to include a second manufacturing facility in Leola, Pennsylvania, and was producing five distinct trailer styles. Later in the same year, the all-new model 1500 was introduced to 5-star reviews and was quickly sold out. Once again, demonstrating to the general people that the value that has been put into the Shasta brand is well worth the low cost!

With the debut of the revised Compat model in 1964, the first of the “square-ish” Shastas was unveiled for the first time. Its leaner, cleaner lines were a foreshadowing of what was to come, and the general public reacted well to it as well. By the end of 1966, all of the Shasta trailers would have been redesigned to have a more contemporary appearance. Production facilities have also been established in Grapevine, Texas, and Battle Ground, Washington, among other locations.

During 1969, the brand new Loflyte was introduced to the market, and it quickly became a popular with the RVing audience. Because of the high demand for Shastas, a sixth factory was built in Columbia, South Carolina, to accommodate the increased production. The company had approximately 500 Shasta dealers around the United States by 1973, all of whom were providing all-new models with attractive interiors and all-new exterior style, which included strong striping down the sides. They were a little smaller than they had been, but they were still there!

For most of the 1960s and beyond, the “wings” on the rear sides served as a distinguishing feature. Coachmen Industries acquired the trademark. Before 2004, Shasta travel trailers were marketed by Coachmen. Only vintage trailers were marketed until 2008 so when brand was resurrected complete with its legendary shasta wings. There are no gas engines in the new trailers, which have been refurbished with art deco interiors. There are stainless steel microwaves, stainless steel sinks and mini blinds, hot plate cooktops, wet showers, and entertainment facilities – including a 19-inch LCD television – among its many amenities.

What makes the Shasta branded travel trailers best?

One of the most popular lines of trailers is the Shasta. Since the 1940’s, Shasta trailers have been particularly popular for their inexpensive cost, very light weight and big quantity of room relative to their tiny size. Easily identifiable by its characteristic wings and “canned-ham” design, the Shasta trailer was the greatest selling travel trailer brand from the 1950’s until the 1980’s. Shasta trailers immediately became a favorite of campers all across the United States owing to its inexpensive price and great craftsmanship and ancient models are still quite popular among antique trailer restorers and collectors today.

Shasta’s numerous versions provide a choice of interiors, exteriors, and degrees of self-containment which lets you to pick the type which best matches your likes and needs. With the table below, compare each antique Shasta trailer model to help choose the ideal one for you.

Shasta provides a large selection of high-quality, reasonably priced, lighter-weight floorplans that are filled with features and provide excellent value. Couples and families who want to get away from it all and enjoy some well-deserved rest and relaxation will appreciate our retreat. Shasta has been giving campers with unforgettable moments for years.

Their well-designed interiors are bright and spacious, including modern woodgrain cabinets, LED inside lighting, and counters with a home style aesthetic. It is impossible not to be impressed by the huge stainless steel household refrigerator. You might want to consider adding an optional freestanding diner with four seats or an LED fireplace to your interior design to liven it up.

Although the vintage canned ham campers may be regarded as cute and snug, the 21st-century version of Shasta’s trailer rolls forth grandeur and elegance.

The firm supplies two basic kinds in a range of lengths and options. Classic travel trailers come in lengths up to 32 feet long and link up to a hitch on the rear of your automobile. Fifth-wheel varieties grow to lengths of 39 feet, and both sorts come with slide-outs that may make the recreational vehicles feel more like an apartment – a long cry from the modest but attractive campers of yesteryear.

You’ll be “roughing it easy” when you burrow into the modern style of Shasta camper. How about sleeping in your own private queen bedroom suite while the kids are nestled in bunks in a room at the other end of the trailer? Gather the family for supper at the huge indoor kitchen with a dinette and modern adaptations that include a glass-top cook burner, microwave and pantry. Or, select a model with an extra outside kitchen/barbecue combo with a built-in entertainment system, and enjoy the beautiful weather. There are also options for outdoor showers to wipe away sand and dirt from a busy day before you step inside.

Kick back in dual rocking recliners to enjoy a movie on a flat-screen TV or, better yet, upgrade to theater-style seats with warming, massaging, cup holders and individual lighting. Opt for a roaring fireplace, motion sensor lighting, memory foam chairs and more.

Back to the day when, Shasta RV model floorplans maxed out at 19 feet. That meant you could traverse the United States freely and pull into any camping place from coast to coast. With today’s larger-sized campers, there’s lots to consider while deciding the size of a model.

If your plans entail traveling national parks from coast to coast. A 19-foot Shasta rv will get you into all apart from around 2 percent of park sites and offer you passage to most size-restricted routes. However, if your focus is camping in commercial RV parks with all the services, even the largest rig won’t be an issue.

The Shasta RV firm has perhaps more expertise than just about any other motorhome maker internationally. With many years in the RV market, Shasta is a very well motorhome brand that handles dedicated followers’ scores.

Although, a few does not know much about Shasta, and it’s vital to gather as much information as possible about an RV company before purchasing in its goods.

One of the nice things when you’re investing in an RV is that the Shasta has it all. If you desire larger rvs, then you’ll be in luck as Shasta RVs makes a comprehensive choice of huge motorhomes with numerous distinct floorplans to choose from. Bigger RVs are frequently more roomy, aerodynamic, have a home feel, and are filled with features and conveniences.

Undeniably Shasta RVs are among the most inventive, trustworthy, and resilient motorhomes currently on the market. As the firm has been in existence for more than 75 years, they’ve successfully refined several of their models. An interesting sidenote of all this is that large number of their motorhome models, notably their fifth wheel Phoenix series, enable all-season travel.

The phoenix family of RVs offers lasting insulating characteristics and remarkable construction qualities that allows them to be driven and lived in diverse weather situations. Which concludes that the Shasta RVs could possibly be the right camper for you as it varies lots of floorplans that may suit your taste. As it also makes a great investment for you, your friends, and your family.

Shasta Airflyte

The Shasta Airflyte was so successful that it was reintroduced in 2015 in an updated canned ham camper to commemorate the company’s 75th anniversary. This 16-foot trailer has the same window sizes, door sizes, and overall proportions as the 1961 model, and any modern improvements are put away so you’d never know you weren’t in the 1961 model. That is, until you switch on the 5,000 BTU air conditioner, crank up the Bluetooth audio, or microwave some popcorn. A wet-bath replaces the original closet in the design, and you may enjoy energy-efficient LED lighting both inside and out.

An extremely popular and sought-after Vintage travel trailer for your consideration. Shasta’s Airflyte is still a popular search term and (hopefully) buying option. Their reissue contained several recent upgrades that are still quite useful and current enough for most of our current equipment three years later.

Shasta has built a nearly perfect reproduction of their historic 1961 Shasta Airflyte 16SC Travel Trailer, complete with the distinguished Shasta wings, for 2015. Shasta then began in 1941, and for them to mark their 75th anniversary, they started making a limited run of 1,941 trailers in the all three authentic colors: Seafoam Green, Matador Red, and Butternut Yellow.

Shasta has meticulously replicated every minute detail, even down to the original Shasta logo magazine rack. To match the needs of today’s campers, the new Shasta Airflytes will also include an all-in-one bathroom with a toilet and shower in place of the closet.

The Airflyte “canned ham trailer” features a historic interior that is nearly identical to the original, but with contemporary utilities and plumbing. However, certain changes have been made: instead of a twin-size bed, the replica accommodates more people by providing for a full bed. There is also the Bunk bed option. This will have the same big bed/dinette and bunks as the last one.

It has Formica counter tops with a dog bone pattern formica, birch cabinet doors, and LED lighting. The bench seating in the dining room is made of tuck-and-roll pleather that matches the outside hue and appears to be ancient. The floor is similarly black and white vinyl.

This new travel trailer has a ton of storage and stylish finishes throughout! The Shasta weighs around 2,270 pounds and can be readily towed behind most SUVs, sedans, and minivans. So, with this 2015 Shasta AirFlyte 16, you may enjoy the better things in life.
