This particular campter here is the Traveler trim. It's camper body is 12 feet in length, 15 total feet long including bumper and tongue.
The camper has been restored and updated from the ground up while maintaining that vintage vibe throughout. The camper has been carefully cared for and is incredibly sound. Here are some more details:
Living space details - (circular tour starting up front)
-Ceiling height is 6'2".
-Front dining table can be laid down as a twin bed with a length of 6'5". Under one bench is the water tank and under the second bench is open storage. Cabinets above dining table are usable storage.
-Door to the outside can be locked via key or interior lock. Includes a screen door.
- Couch is 6'2" and can be laid down as a twin bed. Area underneath couch includes cubby for mechanicals like the jacks, hose, extension cord etc. (access door outside to this area) Other areas below couch are open for storage. Above couch is another bank of open cabinets that also houses the stereo and speakers.
- Bathroom area has LED touch lamp and a cassette toilet. Toilet is just about brand new.
-Next to that is a larger storage closet where you can pack in tons of gear.
-Kitchen drawers offer plentiful space to pack in more gear.
-The stove is original and is powered by propane. All burners work as they should. There is another shut off that has been installed under the stove in addition to the shut off at the tanks up front.
-Sink works as noted in description below and below the sink is a newer fridge/freezer.
Some mechanical details:
Below - solid frame and floor. Zero rot. Brand new tires, new brakes, new hubs, new axle. Tongue has been updated with updated hardware for secure towing. Electric apdaptor from the camper is a 7 pin which powers the brakes and lights, but I have an adaptor that works for a 4 pin if that is what your car has. If using the 4 pin you will have lights and electric only, no brakes. I have driven it extensively with the 4 pin/no brakes setup and it pulls and stops extremely well. 4 leveling jacks for stability when parked.
Above outside - newer paint, COLD AC, updated hitch, new chains, newer awning, new LED running, turn, brake lights. New "porch" light by door. I will give you the correct size ball if you need one and the adaptor for the car if you need it also.
Inside: completely updated while maintaining that vintage vibe. New electrical wiring from top to bottom and brand new circut breaker panel. GFI outlets. Touch LED ceiling lights with evening blue mood lighting. Fairy, copper string lights around celing that are awesome at night and have a ton of settings. Stove is original, powered by propane tanks mounted out front - shut off/safety switch added under stove. Fridge is newer, college fridge style. Air conditioning is added and can blow cold enough for heavy blankets. Heat provided by a plug in space heater - camper holds comfortable temps down to 20F (insulation was drastically improved during renovation). CD/Stereo built in with strong speakers. Sink can be hooked up to city water (hose included) or simply fill the new holding tank for use with the new pump. New,exterior gray water tank with included hose for dumping. New cassette toilet.
The camper is DRY. No leaks whatsoever and all outside seams have been sealed and re-sealed. The trailer is right around 1800 lbs and can be towed easily with a smaller SUV. Our SUV in the pic handles it with ease. The camper tows extremely well, it runs true and has no sway. The lights on the outside of the trailer look sharp and are always on when plugged in. It has turn markers on the side for extra safety.
