Vehicle description
47 foot Racecar Hauler. 8500 empty weight 24000 gross. VIN 1FPL40301LA941439 This is a very low mileage Featherlite. Was used only for storage during the last 18 years. It was hand waxed with Carunba wax every two years (or more).
She was just retrofitted with electric brakes, all new Road King tires (the old tires were too dated), 6 brake assemblies, 3 pin electric connector, breakaway switch and battery, side door latch, repaired or replaced all interior and exterior lights and wiring, repacked all bearings and lubricated grease fittings, reconditioned gooseneck with phosphoric acid and Rust-Oleum paint, recondition all exterior steel bolts, parking stanchions and goose neck frame by the same method, serviceed loading door pulley assembly.
Pending minor repairs/service: paint tops of tool cases, install weather seals on loading door (seals are in hand), repair or replace one bedroom screen (it has a hole).
Amendments to the interior include plywood panels to protect the side walls while loading. Shelves for small items, two tool cases, a small file cabinet and bookshelf, and a small wood stove. These items are easily removable. A six inch hole in the roof (for the stove pipe) can be professionally patched with a one foot square of sheet aluminum.
In addition to exterior waxing with carnauba, the all aluminum roof was recently hand cleaned of all tree sap and Atmospheric exudate ( see photo #8 below).
This Featherlite has been very good to me for 28 years . With routine maintenance it should retain it"s present beauty for another 28 years. Note: suppose you a bid $14,000. This would be 75% less than the price of a new 47 foot Featherlite ( $55,000). I have been advised that 14K is to cheep, and that a dealer should be able to get 20 or 25K. I encourage interested buyers to drive to Virginia for a personal inspection before this listing closes. The Virginia Safety Inspection is good until August , 2019. Bring money: you won"t want to let this one get away. Message me through or call to coordinate your arrival.
Explanation of photos from top left to bottom right: 1. Right side exterior view. Shadows are from the sun. The finish of the trailer is without flaw, except as shown in photo #12 below. The exterior beauty of this Featherlite is hard to capture in a photo. 2. Left side exterior view 3. Another left side shot from the rear with the loading door open 4. Interior view looking toward the front. Note the floor was wet vacuumed with Simple Green. It could stand a second or spot treatment. [Zoom in on the floor] 5. Closer shot of the cabin area and small office space; with shelves, a small bookcase and file cabinet (these are all clean but show their age). They are removable. 6. Entry to the cabin. 7. Raised bed and sleeping area inside the cabin. This area was hand cleaned with Simple Green 8. The spotless all aluminum roof. 9. The gooseneck and parking stanchions as reconditioned with phosphoric acid and Rust-oleum. 10. Close up of the breakaway switch and battery. 11. Showing the stovepipe where it exits thru the roof. 12. The only dent in the trailer. It is not substantial and barely noticeable as can be seen by zooming in on photo #1. Just above the dent you can see the one and only blemish in the exterior finish of the entire trailer. 13. A close up sample of the hundreds of rivets which attach the aluminum side panels. These hundreds were all hand cleaned with a toothbrush and Carnauba wax every year or two. They look like new. 14. Wood stove and one of the two tool cases (both are easily removable). 15. View of loading entrance from inside the trailer. 16. Showing the spot where wheel wells project into the trailer, leaving a usable space of 7 feet and 3/4 inches at the floor (7" 8" above 12").
