Guess what founds it’s way hitched to my bumper last night? A 1963 Shasta Compact with original birch interior. Overall it’s in very good shape and I can tell the previous owners took care of it. The tires are like new. It does have a bit of A-typical water damage around the roof vent but the leak it had was repaired and it doesn’t leak now. It also has some previous water staining around the back window. Nothing that a new panel of birch won’t fix.
I found this cutie about 8 miles from home so I just had to bring it home. It came with an awning and poles, brand new spare tire mounted on original rim, misc camping gear, outdoor rug, etc., It also has I believe the original fridge and stove (haven’t tested those yet). It has the double canvas bunk holders but unfortunately no poles or canvas for that but that wouldn’t be hard to create.
She has original WINGS!
I thought it was so ironic to see it is painted yellow and white! Isn’t it cute!
Newly covered dinette/bed cushions.
I have all the glass globes that go over the lamps in the kitchen and the rear. They are safely stored in a box.
Original magazine rack. That is a stereo and speakers you see on the kitchen wall. Some camping tunes anyone? (:

It’s so cute! (I’d name her Tweety Bird if it were mine!) Can’t wait to see what you do with it! Have fun!
How I can find one that wants to follow me home? She’s a beauty! I’m dying for one!
Me too, what is your secret? I am soooo jealous! Now you have two the same colour and yes “Tweety” is a good name. Let’s have a suggestion box 🙂
Have fun and I am really looking forward to see what you do with it!!!
I think I was just in the right spot at the right time. This one is going up for sale as I can’t keep two (:
cute as a button!
Drooling over yellow bird! hee hee. Hey I will drive from CA to Michigan…when you are ready to sell her!
Kelle, she is adorable! you need to find me one or let me have this one LOL!
Seriously keep an eye out for me pleeze!

Curious to know will you keep her? sell her ?make her a craft room? or actually travel with the “YELLOW DAISY” ? I can just see daisies on her-that would be adorable and so in her era too. Give me the scoop
So stinking cute!!! Can’t wait to see you transform her.
Love your new find!!! Great condition, congratulations.
Very cool. It looks like a really nice find you have there! I didn’t know you lived in Michigan. So do I!
Thank you David
I can’t WAIT for your update when you put it on the market! I have been looking for a canned ham for over two years! They are just NOT to be found in New England and I would seriously consider a road trip to Michigan………
Laurie, it’s going to go up for sale! I can’t keep both but just couldn’t help but bring this baby home with me. These are getting so hard to find and I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Just got back from the DMV for the new title. Gosh, I love our DMV here. No lines and I was in/out of there within 5 minutes!
Would love to have something like this follow me home!
Very, very nice!
Sometimes being follow home isn”t such a bad thing after all lol,
very nice find good 4 you 🙂
Is she for sale yet?
