Vintage Camper Restoration.wmv 

Sweet! So great to see this beauty restored instead of junked! What an incredible job! Yes, would have loved to seen more pics of the inside! My husband and I bought an old 1968 Shasta (it is a little bigger than yours). We probably paid a little too much for it but the elderly gentlemen selling it was very ill (hooked up to oxygen) and my husband felt sorry for him. Brought it home did some repairs and reconfiguration of the sleeping arrangements. We take her to the Outer Banks fishing. Luv it!

Nice job, great to see a old camper made new again.

People complain about family photos? Don’t they understand a camper is about family and making memories, especially when you can restore one together like you’ve done! I’m about start a resto on the same camper. Thanks for the inspiration, great job!

That's what its all about. And the camper turned out sweet. Good job guys.

I have one just like it.! I have been searching for informaiton on the make and model for the past 2 years and have had no luck. I am so excited, I started to restore it a month ago and founf thew name FLEETWING in the inside wall, but that was all I had to go by. I will post pics once I it all finished. Thanks for sharing your project that is a big help.....

Great looking little camper. Love to see them being saved

What a great story.. I shed a tear for the old camper. She is happy now.

Thanks Jake. I found this little camper next to a barn where it had been fro the past 22 years, and my wife just had to have it. So, with much love and attention it was transformed into a better camper than it was when it was new!! We just love it. Thanks for looking.

Very cool project. I see little run down campers like this all the time. Might try to pick one up some day.

Impressive job, i love ppl who can fix broken things

Thank you for posting this great video. I have just acquired a small camping trailer myself almost in the same condition as yours was. I just replace the old axle with a new updated axle which raised the trailer up to my truck level. Now comes the actual work on the trailer starting with the inside. I haven't gutted it out yet but that will be step one.

Wonderful watching this. Kids must be grown. Hope your still camping.

Tex, that little trailer is so nice, it's riducluous. Thanks for sharing

Great job on the resto....main thing is the family was involved and will remember those times and the travel for the rest of their lives. very cool.

Wow, what a transformation. Thanks for sharing it. I'm getting ready to buy a 1978 camper which the owner advertised as being in clean condition. I guess we'll see. Excited to renovate it. Yours is inspiring.

Awesome video! Great pics from uncovering the tomb, restoring and family photos enjoying the build. That’s what matters most. Thanks for sharing.

Cool video. I just bought a small popup camper, and am going to restore it. You gave me a couple of ideas.

Fantastic! What a great video. I just became the owner of a 1971 Scotty project. You gave me some great inspiration. Thanks!

Thank you for giving that little camper a second chance!

It turned out pretty good

Big Tex347, thank you for sharing "a dream come true" of yours with such creativity that includes the family. Your video is awesome and had my emotions running high. My father had purchased a small ttrailer way back in the early 70's when I was 10, and he took the whole family(9 of us)on all types of camping trips in the little fellow! Sure, we were embarrassed then, but grateful now, because my siblings and I now laugh and laugh of our memories til the day(45yrs later)!! PRICELESS. Thank you for reminding me of "family", may you and your family makes countless memories...

This is so cool. I love how it turned out. The awning and cowboy flamingos just made it that much cooler!

Bloody fantastic mate, best I have seen, because I am a Saddlemaker and cowboy, I love the inside of this van .

Great job of bringing it back..

Beautiful Restoration - Lovely Family- Great Music. Hope Your Family Has Many Healthy, Happy Year's To Enjoy Your Effort.

Great Job! I loved watching your video. My hubby & I restored a 30' travel trailer and we had so much fun doing it and taking it out on trips. TFS.

Amazing! Not many would have even given it a chance and you loved it right into being a little gem.

Incredible, BigTex. I've been dreaming of a cowboy themed remodel, but I don't think I'll be able to do it as well as you did! Thanks for taking all the time to share your craftsmanship and imagination!

thank you for sharing your creativity ,a job well done, and the music you got to love it ,brings back good memories .

Hello lalunette-----------> Thanks for taking a look at me camper restoration video. I replaced everything under the camper just because of the age (1970), as well as the floor, walls, ceiling, all insullation, replaced all working components in the loueved windows, installed the air conditioner, and the list goes on and on. The camper restoration made this little camper better than it was when it was brand new! Everything is re-inforced and made to last. It was truely a labor of love!!!

Great video! Thanks for sharing! Just picked up a little gem of a camper for our family...we can't wait to take it out!

Carmine and Round Top are both beautiful little towns! I am from Fayetteville which is about 10 miles from carmine.... Just sold an off grid solar travel trailer I built myself... I'd love to do something like this!

Oh sure, it's easy when you're married to a beautiful woman who happens to be an interior decorator. Go ahead, rub it in. Nice job. Beautifully finished. By brother has ceiling tiles like that in his home. My dad removed them from the old school house he converted into my childhood home. They're made of a relatively soft tin-like metal. Beautiful. A treat of a video. A family story in addition to being a documentary of a rebuild. And the music was wonderful. Best wishes to you and your family.

Great bg music haha. Getting motivation and seeing what others are goin through gives me more confidence to start my project. Thank you.

Love love it. I appreciate all the work you put in to save this little treasure.

I had to come back and watch this again... I am refurbishing a 1972 Vintage Travel Trailer, thinking it is overwhelming, then I watch this video and SEE how you started out with a lot more problem than me. YOU give me hope... I'm so proud of this video for you... Thank you for sharing ... Question: Where did you get the Celling Tiles?

So cute!! I love how you added your own personality to the camper. Love it!! If only I could convince my husband to take on such a project :)

you should be so proud this is fantastic congratulations on a work of art.....

OMG!!! This video makes me want to start a renovation. Love the idea of the ceiling tiles. Absolutely adorable!!

Great job!!

Simply Awesome !! Better than new....A wonderful restoration. The whole family looks so happy. Congrats to you.

Great video. Pretty neat how the old trailer can beredone. Thanks for sharing!

Looks awsome... We are working on one now that we are taking 10,000 miles next year

Hands down, the best restore I’ve seen! Well done!

Hello KhmerBoy82297-------------> Thanks for responding to my camper video. We had the outside painted by a professional paint shop in Montgomery, Texas. It was preped and painted in a professional paint booth and sprayed with several coats of clear. I drew out the pait design on a napkin while flying from Texas to Washington state. I took it to the painter and asked if he could paint the camper black and silver using this kind-of lightening bolt design. He taped it off and the rest is history!

Loved the video, the music and the family pictures. Great memories!

nice trailer ,cool vid and music. i have a 96' palamino pop-up trailer.

Excellent music! Thanks for sharing. Congratulations on your restoration.

Great work BigTex.

For those that don't understand why it's called a "canned ham" camper, then you never grew up eating DAK hams!!!! The go-to meal when ya just don't want to cook, or ya want meals for all week. Throw a couple of pineapple slices on top, stick 'er in the oven, and voila! And the loving don't stop there! Ham sandwiches, ham-n-eggs, ham salad, ham-n-cheese omelette, and the list goes on! All from 1 canned danish delight!

I like how you did the restoration from the inside out leaving the medal on

I love ppl saving and doing stuff up some really amazing ppl and craftsmanship

Thanks for the kind review of or little camper. The ceiling tiles were recovered from an 1880s house and we decided that they would work great in the camper. My wife put a faux finish on them (silver) and they worked out great. They are actually some kind of tough paper composit material that was pressed into a mold. They are not metal. anyway, they look great. Thanks again.

Wonderful job restoring this small beauty! Loved the video, restorer's and mini-restorer's!

Great ideas, design, family and music too! Thanks!

Hello Paigenmarc-------> We are in Montgomery, on lake Conroe. The camper is here for now, but it 's real home is on our ranch in Blanco County just the other side of Austin. We were a member of Sisters on the Fly for one year, but never did anything with them. Ours is a family camper so Sisiters didn't appeal to us that much. We usually take it to Dixieland RV Park in Carmine, TX during Round Top weekend twice a year and we take it to Canton (First Monday) about every other month. We love it!!

Really cool re-imagination of a neat lil' camper! The music was perfect for your video too! Great job.

You did an amzing job on this! WOW! It's actually larger than some NYC apts that sell for a half a million dollars. ;) The music with the lighted flamingo's out front made the night scene real for me. :D Enjoy!

Came for the trailer stayed for the music.

Great artistic touches! The flamingos were over the top. lol. Very inspiring

Very nice job. Beautiful new family member.

Great restoration, like the vintage campers.

oh, great job guys and gal

"WOW" Fantastic job.. BEAUTIFUL

VERY VERY SUPPERRR!!! МОЛОДЦЫ! Хорошо поработали, красиво получилось! УДАЧИ ВАМ!!!

I applaud your wonderful transformation!!!!!

Awesomeness and Blessed Family memories building and camping in it

What a great job you all did!! It IS a beauty indeed!! New subscriber and also a brand new owner of a very large motor coach as well!! I have a large amount of respect for bus drivers as well as large coach drivers in general!! LOL!! I drove mine yesterday...hubby said I did great as did the two sales people!! It was a "wow" factor for me,but I will get there in due time!! I will say that I love the "Flips" or renovations that people out here do on trailers/campers/RV's etc!! Amazing beautiful hard hard work!! Great job to every single one of you!! Yours is fantastic and I love the "theme" in your trailer as well!! Love it!! Looks comfy and like home should look like too!!

Very Nice!!! I have the exact same camper but not restored. A lot of fun to camp with!

Wow! looks fantastic, great job. hope yall have enjoyed it. I think i will actually go and see about finding one of these little ones. you have inspired me

Oh my gosh. This is awesome and the video is great! So cool!

Hello al corder -----------> Thank you for taking a look at my camper restoration video. YES!!! ABSOLUTELY!!!!! You have to convince you husband that you need a tiny camper like ours. It is a BLAST!!! We get looks and comments wherever we go - it is so much fun to use. People just can't get enough of it - I was so surprised - and continue to be so surprised at the amount of attention it gets. Everyone wants to look inside and we are very proud to show it off to whoever wants to look. GOOD LUCK!

Awesome job on the camper wish I had one that nice enjoy your time with it .

Awesome restoration!! I think I might take on a restoration project after I finish building the mini pop up camper I'm working on!

Hello Echosshop----------> Thanks, we absolutely enjoy every minute of it. I get loads of people looking at the camper everywhere we go. It's truely an eye-catcher. Thanks again.

Really cool work! Themed campers are awesome! I'm working on a 68 forester 14 footer right now that I'm not sure what the theme will be but I hope it turns out as nice as yours. Thanks for posting. Mick.
