A blog about vintage trailers and glamping
OK, every now and then someone sends me some before/after pictures of their vintage trailer and I have to say Miki's trailer named "Trashy" takes the prize so far for best make over that I've seen! Facts about Trashy from her owner Miki: 1. She's a 1958 Kencraft floozie from Hollywood, Ca. 2. She cost $150.00 with no title....she has one now. 3. She is rare, … [Read more...]
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 … [Read more...]
I don't know if you are like me but I am the kind of person that needs to be organized or I'd be in completely chaos. For me there is nothing more frustrating than needing to find something only to discover I can't recall where I put it. So of course I needed to find a way to keep all of my vintage trailer documents and records organized all in one place. Liz … [Read more...]
OK, so with most vintage trailers water staining under the front and rear windows is pretty typical. You will also commonly find it around the roof vent. Our 55 Bellwood is no exception to this. Now while the staining under the windows wasn't all that bad (I've seen much worse trust me), the proper way to fix the issue is by tearing out the offending panel of birch, … [Read more...]
Today was a busy day! We tore out the ceiling birch around the vent and on the front wall above the counter. We then put new birch in. The framing looked good around the vent so we didn't need to replace it. That was a nice surprise. We still have the trim to do but we ran out of birch so off to get more soon. Next we'll put up a back splash, install a subfloor, stain … [Read more...]
So the demolition on the 56 Southland Runabout begins. We put in a full days work removing the front skin and about 3/4 of the interior walls and ceiling. The previous owners just put new wood over the old. That is NOT the right way to do it. However, they actually did me a favor by doing this because I was able to pull off the wood sections they put up fairly easily … [Read more...]
Well, I think I'm sort of doing things a bit backwards when it comes to the 1956 Southland Runabout. I made cushions for it that I showed you all here, and recently purchased a fridge and also found a vintage stove that a friend of mine sold to me. I even bought a new thick memory foam mattress for the rear double bed. The reason this is all backwards is because all … [Read more...]
I brought her home this past weekend and wow is she cute! Lefty Originals, LLC., did a fabulous job on her renovation. She has had a long list of things done to her. Basically, everything from new wiring, new paint job, to new drip rails, window seals, new screws, new floor, new counters, etc., etc., I ordered a brand new yellow and white striped awning for her … [Read more...]
