Who doesn’t love seeing before and after photos? I know I do! The transformation on Paul’s 1969 Shasta Stratoflyte is simply amazing! This is proof of what hard work and and attention to details can accomplish. Way to go Paul! For now we just have interior photos as Paul is getting ready to paint the exterior. All I can say is WOW, what a difference!
Before and quite a hot mess wouldn’t you agree?
After – Simply amazing right!?

This is gorgeous!!
Wow! What a wonderful transformation. Makes you want to head on out and do some camping!
Wow, it’s so nice, great job!
Thanks for sharing Kelle,Love this Shasta,so well done and the colors are just perfect.
I appreciate you sharing the before ——-after. With the degree of renovation this trailer had, what does it cost to do this much renovating?
Terri,
The cost of doing a renovation like this is nowhere near what a newer camper costs.
I believe the older ones have much more character . . . not to mention MORE WINDOWS!
Thats the thing that I like about the older campers most; all the windows and the feeling that you are actually camping in the woods.
But the cost . . . is very reasonable if you do the work yourself. And if you do, it is very rewarding in the end.
This is a 1969 Shasta Stratoflyte with full kitchen and bathroom (shower, toilet, sink). It is 20 feet long. It had major water damage in all the structural skeleton. I paid $500.00 for the camper . . . gutted it . . . replaced everything; plumbing, wiring, floors, ceiling, cabinets, heating system, water heater, cushions . . . everything but the windows. We will have about $4000.00 in it after I finish painting the outside.
We couldn’t replace it for that. And it has a homey, cabin feel to it.
Its a major undertaking, but if you have the time . . . it is worth it.
Hope you can do it.
Paul
That’s encouraging! Do you happen to know what brand/colors linoleum tiles he used on that floor? Beautiful.
Kim,
I appreciate your comments on the camper. It was a lot of work but worth it.
If you truly want to know the colors and brand of the tiles and so forth, I will
look into it. I think I have some left over, and I think I got them at Lowes. I know
they are the commercial tiles . . . very heavy and very durable.
Thanks again,
Paul
Interior is great with the canoe deco, Bright cranberry red color.. Looks like the same
