Real cutie - old but new Scotty trailer on eBay

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.

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

I would like to add my congratulations on such an excellent job of refurbishing that TT. I hope you get more use out of it, than time you spent rebuilding it. You are a shinning example of anything that can be done, should be done well. You did well.

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

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