I turned a Colman pop up into a stay up with hard walls. The rear bunk pullout was widened to accommodate a queen sized bed parallel to the camper. It has solid walls too. The back panel swings up to become the roof of the pullout. the front pullout was replaced by a solid foam nose cone that provides lots of storage. Even though it sleeps only two people. It provides plenty of room to lounge around in if the weather is to bad to go outside.

The best vintage camper ever was the VW Van with the Westfala Conversion. It was a daily driver, with a built in motel room, complete with two beds, running water, an ice box (beer cooler), closet, upper and lower storage. I drove this vehicle to work every day, got drunk at night and passed out in lower bunk, took it scuba diving, camping, you name it. This thing was a do all go anywhere party vehicle. Wish I still had it! And you could park it in a standard garage!

My brother help this guy restore his old 50's trailer it came out really nice like it rolled right out of the factory that way. The owner and his wife took there time to find all the right stuff to put in it from that era. I own a 1964 Shasta trailer in the mid 1990's I was the 2nd owner. It was well taken care of. All I needed to do was have it painted on the out side and have the wings that went on the side put back on.

@rosaramos5889 5 лет назад

My favorite was #10 I loved the lady pic and color scheme, beautiful. I loved the stage smh. At first I wasn't sure if I was seeing what it looked like in it's time. lol It was so beautiful. The lady pic, drop dead gorgeous. I love watching things from the 60s and 70s. I think they have a certain charm and appeal. Great job guys!

@BloodRaven1969 5 лет назад

I like these videos every bit as much, if not more, then the videos on the new and innovative designs. It is amazing how beautiful some of these designs for the past are.

i liked #6 and #1 ! me and my husband have been remodeling a 1976ish camp trailer. when we bought it, it had a hole in the roof and a bigger one in the floor. and I thought 700$ was too much! We stayed with some original things, like windows, and floor plan lay out. Our camp trailer is a working progress, but we did gut it and replaced many, many things. After watching many of your videos.. we could still add some cool ideas

My uncle built a motorhome from scratch back in the early 70s. Took him over a year because he worked full time and also fixed up old hot rods. It has a dinette/ bed. A bed over the cab and a bed that folded down over the dinette. He took my grandmother, his mom, and I out all over az, Montana and in between the two. Looked like a white shed on the outside but beautiful on the inside. He had to part with it in Montana in the 80s and we don't know what happened to it after that . Probably behind a barn somewhere.

@studiokohl1 5 лет назад

Yes he did. We went to glacier and since he knows his vehicles so well, as we drove on Road to the sun he got as close as he could. Before guard rails....scared my grandmother half to death. She had claw marks on the seats and got a beer after it was over. The only time I saw the woman drink. Lol

@brigidholland5571 3 года назад

My husband bought an old Play Mor trailer that spans just 10 ft. He "restored " it so that we have everything we need. A full-sized bed and even a bath//shower room that he added by removing the old closet space. Small and sometimes a bit cramped, but I love it! It's so easy to haul and meets all of our basic needs. The best part? it only cost $800.00 plus about $200.00 in supplies. You can't get a true trailer experience for cheaper! Love these videos!

@user-hb8be5wb4q 5 лет назад

Love The turquoise trailer, it was the 15 or 17 feet long trailer, I had the 13 feet model. It claimed to sleep 6 people, but you could barely seat 2 at the table. I used mine in Wichita Falls, Texas back in 1970-72. Then I had to sale. Funniest thing about it was the weight. And you had better have a bigger engine than a 6 cylinder. If you met a tractor trailer, the wind took off 80% of your speed. Brahaha! It beat a tent. Mine was a .Scotty brand.Great video, thanks for sharing.

@rayjones3212 5 лет назад

I only wish that the currently being built RV's are being built to last as long as all of the ones covered in this video. Some manufacturers are striving to do so while many others just care about the bottom line and how they can make their product attractive enough to dump on unsuspecting buyers. This is why we had our Class-B custom-built and know what to expect when we pick it up.

The other is beautiful 1963 Dodge A100 small v8, automatic, hightop, short van in the origional 2 tone oange. I'm going to remodel both Old School Style. One will be for travel and the other for some travel but mostly as a work van (the Dodge). If you are interested in my projects let me know. Thanks for the video.

@theducklinghomesteadandgar6639 5 лет назад

Paul Herrid Reacher I knew the one was from National Lampoon but I wasn't sure of the other! If it had been in the 80s I would have claimed Independence Day as he shows up, in death valley, or was that some salt flats,..... only he is no longer Eddie...or is he...du du duhhhhh?!?! Great Video!!! My favs, were 10, 6, and 3! 6 being the over all favorite!! We had a late 60s model deep purple greyhound bus back in the 80s that had been converted into a tour bus and then half gutted. My Dad purchased and renovated it and Mom helped making new cushions and cushion covers as well as curtains! It was awesome could sleep up to 12 adults with no one on the floor and there was still some work Dad had wanted to do on it, but didn't get the chance when he got sick! But even without having the little bit finished it was a beautiful thing!!! We loved that sucker! So many memories, so much fun!!!

@heathschwab 5 лет назад

Ok yea I believe your right on the first and the second you are right Spaceballs. It's the only one I new very well funny movie watched many times. But I new I seen the first one but your right I've watched so many Chevy chases movies. But yes that's his brother's RV and if I'm not mastaken the shitter was full they had to empty.
