New to RV's with an old Dutchman 1203

Just bought this from my wife's friend (sry no pics yet). It sat in their back yard for about 15 years left to the elements. Needs a ton of work but I think it will be worth it in the long run. Will need advice on parts and materials.

When you get to the tires, bearings etc. Suggest you go with Goodyear endurance. And also check the springs shackles. I change all of mine to wet bolts. E-trailer is good source and has lots of videos and reviews.

First thing I would do is go over the trailer in detail looking for water leaks, get them sealed and access the damage if it has been sitting that long unprotected. Should be a fun project fixing it up.
