Our New 1968 Travel Queen
Alright - We have our camper, now we just have to make it ready to use. Should we have gone new, or newer used? Perhaps. But what we found was too cool to pass on. Here was our opportunity to join ran...

Bears: The two campers I have had different tie-down methods. I accepted both as is for the ride home. The first, the 10.5' had a hole drilled through the under mount metal frame rail with a screw type chain link connected to accept a turn-buckle hook. That left the pipe holes vacant for receiving the Safe-T-Jacks. The second one had corner mount hydraulic jacks and so the previous owner had put a male pipe into the female pipe holes for the Safe-T-Jacks and had eye-bolts attached to the male pipes for the tie-down system. I didn't like it, especially at the rear as the rear tie-down angle was too far forward on the 8' model.
I liked the hole in the frame-work method better but it does put the tie-down further inboard than what I think may be optimal. I'll evaluate my choice as I go.
Haven't looked closely at the hydraulic jacks. Their the same as my Dad had on his 72 Camper (non-Travel Queen) years ago. I don't like them any better than the manual cranks. I will probably go with electric jacks swiveling in the pipe holes.
Your 110 model is quite interesting (referring to the floor-plan picture). Mine is a 1968 so the changed from the 1966 brochure. I have a 102 on the curbside and a 108 on the street.
Let me know what parts you need and we'll see how that goes. I like to somehow get a Travel Queen Classifieds set up for units and parts. But alas, spring yard work awaits. ;)
