Not sure if someone has started this or not but I'd I'm going To have mine home by the end of the week and would like start a post now for any trouble shooting. You can also post pictures of yours if you want I'm sure everyone would love it I know I do. This can be an everything travel queen place to share ideas and help each other keep these classics on the road. Thanks guys

Wish I had one. They were well made units designed and built with pride. Look forward to more pics. Thanks

This will be fun to watch. What are you going to do...plans? Do you think those marker lights are big enuf? Is that really two portable side lift jacks? Show some pics of those. I have a fairly modern set that I used to lift off a canopy about 20 years ago..still use one to lift the tongue of my boat trailer higher so boat will drain when sitting in the back as I have a slope of 4% in the wrong direction.Always more pics will get you off the hook from writing anything. Have fun!

Just looking at that things scares the******out of me! Good luck with that TravelQueen.

I'll keep everyone posted. At a $240 price tag you can't go wrong. No smells no leaks no fear. And I wanted something that would look BA on my M715. And being round helps up here where it snows 6 months out of the year.

Have fun!Pretty much plan to do as little as possible to the camper at first so I can enjoy it. First I am going to make sure all the appliances work. Then I'll go from there. I'm not sure about the jacks. I'll take some pics of them once I get it home hopefully tomorrow. Then I'll clean the outside up good and paint it, along with matching the colors section with the color of my truck.

Had some time to look at the camper a little deeper today. I've got my work cut out for me but gas works lights work. There's a line from the water tank that broke and caused some damage to the floor. I'm planing on swapping the wood boards that the jacks hook up to with tube steel and replacing most of the bottom of the camper with new wood.
This thing needs a lot of work and will prob take me a long time to get perfoct but it's usable the way it is so I plan on using it.
I like vintage things and couldn't see this thing going to the scrap yard

It's an awesome camper and it will be worth the effort. Keep us posted on your progress.

Any idea what the weight is on that thing?

I've got a '62 Ford F100 4x4 that would look amazing with one of those mounted on it..

We bought this back in 1999 and we always love looking at this photo from our past. This is a 1969 8.5' Travel Queen. A few years later we bought the Lance in the background which we just sold last month.
