So yesterday heading home from the grocery store I see a truck pulling a trailer. I always look at this style of trailer closely because it is the same as the first travel trailer we owned, thinking that one day I may see the one we owned.So I drop off the stuff I bought and head back out to see if it is still downtown. Our trailer had some little dimples on the driver side so that is what I always look for. I find it parked on the main street. I stop on the other side and my first sight is confirmed. This is in fact the first trailer we owned. We sold the trailer in 2004. Had a little chat with the current owners and bid farewell to the trailer once more.

Looks like it's still in good condition. :C

That's pretty neat. I often wonder what became of some of the vehicles I've sold.

Sweet story. It must be satisfying to know your little old trailer is still bringing many great camping adventures to other families.

I know exactly where my old 2001 StarCraft Gemini went.... Still in my driveway after selling it to my brother! We have spent the last few weeks getting it gussied up for him. New brakes, repaired some of the damage from the towing accident, new safety chains w/ retaining clips (old ones were a bit too long and drug enough over the last 14 years to have a "thin" link), replaced the fresh water fill, power plug, and external gas ports, bought a polisher and cut the oxidation from the fiber glass camper roof, then waxed it to a high gloss, replaced the Shure pump head, as the old one was getting weak and painted the trailer tongue and stabilizer jacks. Looks almost new! He should get many more years out of it!

There are some airstream owners on this site that swear box trailers only last 5-7 years and then must be junked. It was a nice dream you had but again, according to what the AS guys say, you must be delusional ;)FYI, that is awesome your, not owned by you, older TT is still on the road and looks great!
