A blog about vintage trailers and glamping
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...]
This little cutie is at the paint shop getting a new paint job. They finished the bottom half and today will paint the top half. Oh my, is she going to be so cute when she's all finished. Her original paint color was sort of a salmon color. This color is a bit brighter, which is what the buyer wanted and I think it will be adorable! I am having pink envy at the … [Read more...]
The TCT rally event at Camp Dearborn was another huge success! If you've never attended a rally, I really encourage you to go. We pulled in and set up on Thursday. That night everyone gathered under the giant tent area armed with their crock pot dishes to share. YUM! Then Friday we spent the day shopping at antique shops in Howell, MI. Friday night they had a great … [Read more...]
Isn't she cute?! I went and picked her up yesterday. What was suppose to be a 6 hour journey round trip turned into a 10 hour journey due to a major highway being flooded. I think we sat in bumber to bumber traffic for 2 1/2 hours. Although it wasn't without a few smiles. There was about 4 people that inched up beside us and whipped out their camera phones taking … [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...]
Isn't this a sweet little trailer? This little Glendette lives in Nova Scotia, Canada with Beth Cole. Here is what Beth shared about it. " I bought my '69 Glendette last June after "stalking" her for at least three summers. She's tiny, just 12 feet long plus the tongue. Last summer I had new covers made for the dinette bench cushions. I also crafted a little … [Read more...]
So this is the fabric I picked out for the 1956 Southland Runabout. It's quite a contrast to the whimsical interior of our 61 Shasta Compact, but I really feel this vintage trailer commands a more toned down feel especially because of the darker wood interior. So this is what I decided on. I hope you like it! Here is the finished cushions. Ok, now on to … [Read more...]
We said our goodbyes this morning. She's headed to Minnesota for some great adventures with a newly retired couple. Oh I can only imagine the fun they will all have together! While it was a little sad to see her go, I'm glad she got such a great home. Plus I'm reminding myself of all the great adventures we have planned for our Shasta Compact; Buttercup this year! I … [Read more...]
We are so tickled to have received our awning room from Marti's Awnings. It's practical for our needs and looks great too! It measures approximately 8 1/2 feet across and 8 feet deep. We will use this as an additional sleeping area as well as a place to eat, play cards, etc., I just love it! Here is a picture of Buttercup nekked without the awning. Here she … [Read more...]

The first is this tin camper birdhouse. How cute is this!? The details are amazing. Photo courtesy of High Milage Trikes Photo courtesy of High Milage Trikes I love these … [Read more...]
