BEAUTIFUL Trailer on Ebay

I'd love to get my hands on that - thanks for posting - BTW, no one bought it - auction ended.

Lookin great HJ!

Nice work there, Hans. The old girl is looking pretty good.

I wouldn't call that trailer a fixer upper. Nothing wrong with it as it is. It should be towed with a vintage station wagon of the same period though. I love it.


Back in February I bought this trailer for $750. Been working on it slowly under cover. It's seen a little more wear and tear than the one advertised, but soon it will be my boys home.


Fixed the roof first.


The front of the trailer was painted on the interior, but the rear bedroom is still beautiful birch.


Cozy little kitchen.


Very compact bathroom.


Living room up front.


And now new paint on the outside.


This 61 year old trailer is sound and solid, in way better shape than all the trailers we looked at from the 70's and 80's, most of which had serious dry rot issues. And we already built a wonderful shed for it on our farm with sewer, water and electric for my son to live in it while he attends college. Hans

that would be great to just park on a leased/owned site and not drag it around. wouldn't do a thing on the outside. shock people when they come to visit and expect to see the inside match the outside.

Love it. I hope someone buy her and fixes it her the rest of the way and takes her to old camper outings. I wish they would have one of those shows in my area. I would love to see some of those old classics in person. It's like going to a car show, it makes you think about the people that came before us.

I guess I am a glutten for punishment.

I wouldn't. :)
I usually shop for a steal about 3 yrs old from private parties (no sales tax in my state), so the worst of the depreciation has been absorbed. Plus personally, I would never buy a TT without a slide.

Having said that, that is one nice looking older unit -- nice to see a few like that around!

She's a real beaut- and single axle, too!

Those were the glory days...
