Not Alone

Hello everyone!  It's been so hot here it's been hard to do much of anything...I guess summer has arrived.

Since the heat has been fierce I've only been working on small details in the evening but I do have a trailer I wish to share along with the story.

This is Sara and her Crybaby/Surfside Trailer.  This is one of many stories that have come to me and I'm going to share them as I receive permission.  

Sara and her husband had a dream to see the states when they retired.  Sara's husband sadly passed on before this but Sara kept this promise alive and entrusted Crybaby/Surfside to build the trailer for her adventures.

After months of calls, trips to the shop, broken promises, and past due delivery dates Sara received her trailer.  It was just in time for her trip down South to visit family and pick up her Granddaughter for a special trip.  

This was the trip from hell for Sara.  The South is known for some great storms though this one was not one of those rather just a normal wet week.  Sara could do nothing as her trailer leaked filling the cabin and galley with water.  Everything was ruined, the mattress, her clothes, the food, everything was soaked.  When the rain stopped she was able to clear out some but the mattress and everything were ruined.

Water soaking in the carpet.

Water damage to the cabin walls.

Water damage to the galley.

Leaking door causing more damage.

Food bins sitting in water ruining the food.

Bedding and clothes soaked.

Water pooling in the galley.

Sara was forced to cut her trip short to drive the trailer back to California to try and get a refund, she had only had it three days.  She had to watch the tears stream down her Granddaughter's face because she now couldn't take her on their planned trip.  Sara had to rent hotel rooms the entire return trip because the memory foam mattress was a sponge soaked with water and ruined.

You may ask how it worked out when she came home.  Well like the rest of us this company does not stand behind their work and refused to take the trailer back.

Sara has now been working hard with help to fix the trailer so she can sell it because it no longer holds the joy it should for her.  I'm very proud to know this amazing woman, we have become friends bonded by our experience.  The trailer is coming along great and I hope to share photos of it completed in the next week or so.  I do have some to share, they've done a great job and it will be a great little trailer.

Starting the rehab on the galley.

Repairing the cabin damage.

Sealing and trimming the walls.

Sealing the doors properly.

Working on sealing the exterior too.

Sara sealed the vent.  Crybaby/Surfside doesn't use butyl tape or and sealer to keep the vents from leaking.

The galley coming along very nice.

Sara's galley completed.  Love the candy red color!

Sara was like me, couldn't wait to peal the company sticker off so others wouldn't fall into the same trap.  

A nice clean galley lid once the sticker was removed.

Stay tuned to see how Sara transforms her Lemon into a great little trailer.

If you have a story and photos of lemon from this company, I'd love to share your story to help show others there are many more out there.  Message me!

Stay safe and have a great camp.
