I was aiming my comment to the OP, but your work looks good westend.

If this is directed at me, thanks. The only reason it turned out well is because I AM retro.:B

How can these be considered "retro" when I remember them so well from the first time around????? Hmmmmm.

We had a '74 Scotty that we used for all the kids' growing up years. It was 18' - had a bathroom - and a bunk over the rear couch - no A/C. We loved it. We could take it anywhere and go without electric - didn't even need a battery. Everything ran on propane - even a light that would warm things up nicely on a cool evening. Very, very fond memories. :)

I also miss the simplicity of my old TT. It had a furnace but, the furnace required no electricity. It was just a flame inside a metal box that was vented to outside. The radiant heat from the box kept the camper warm. Sure wish they still made something like that.

Nuway stoves

I use a Sportsman brand. In the fall hunting season around the Canadian border where temps are sometimes -0f, these simple box stoves put out enough heat on idle to keep us comfy at night.

Looks interesting. I saved the link in case I want one some day.

I had a 1969 12 foot TT not that many years ago. I loved it. But, I wanted a bathroom.

The one I owned also had a AC modified in it. They put the unit under the dinette table and when you got to the campground you slid under the TT to remove a board for the heat to come out. It was a iffy idea. It kinda worked but, because cold air sinks and hot air rises the AC was very inefficient. The hot air could not move down out of it's compartment very well and the cold air could not move up underneath the dinette very well. By using a small fan setting undernieth the dinette to help recurlate the air that helped.

Shasta is also making retro trailers. You can buy a brand new 1950's trailer. The retro scene in Cali is pretty big now. retro shasta
