It is nice, retro in a good way, but, I would rather have the 19ft Airstream (early 70s I think) for $8K. From the pics this trailer does not appear to have a washroom which makes it a no for me, even if it was also $8K. It is cute, but not for me. Best of luck on the sale.
This is a nice looking, light weight trailer. May have space for port-a-potty in closet area by bed. I have also seen retro-style trailers for a new price that were made new in a similar price range. Collectors may want to look at this one.
I’m sure you could put a potty in closet by bed. If I had the money I would buy it.
What! No bathroom?
Very beautiful formica, floor and love the warm glow of the birchwood interior. A classic like this is very hard to find. I love the ‘Real’ stove and the new back splash is great addition. Full sink a major plus also! I found this beauty inspiring and hope they get every penny they are asking – it’s worth it!
Thanks Teresa!
I think the asking price should rather read $ 1,500.
And then it’s quite a bit for what it is….
Now this one is a winner…! Completely stock, and all the original parts, you can’t ask for better.. The trailer is worth a lot more than he is asking, because not only is it in great shape, but is is a collectors item as well… You should have no problems selling it, as it is a pure gem..!
I think this trailer is cute and cozy! It certainly has been cared for well. I wish I could buy it so I can travel all over the world, which is on my bucket list. Good luck finding the right buyer who will cherish this lovely trailer!
