It easily converts to a bed. Impressive, right? Very smart way to use a 6x6ft space.

They put racks on the shelf that was formerly for the refrigerator…more space to put things.

This is the mini kitchen…Still the original stove, counter top, and sink. Though most of the cooking is usually done outdoors for the complete camping experience.

This is the solar generator…Yes, this is what the solar panels are for. And it can also be charged through plugging it to a car.

This is a chemical toilet, just in case it’s needed…But outdoor and public restrooms are the preferred option.

Hey Alex! That 1971 vintage camper looks really cool! The convertible bench-to-bed is a smart way to live in a camper van.
I did a little research and found this synopsis of the company that built that trailer…..
“The trailer was made by a company in California by the name of “Hunter Structures”. They only made trailers for a few years in the 70’s. Hunter Structures built trailers in Chatsworth, California from 1968 thru 1975. They built 2 different 13′ molded fiberglass trailers, the Compact Jr and the Compact II. Some models were called Hunters but they were the same as the Jr or II. Both had rear doors and a center part of the roof that lowered for towing. Depending on options they weigh about 1300 lbs. ready to camp”
There once was a small fiberglass camping trailer called a “Boler”.
It was designed and built by a guy who worked with Fiberglass during WWII and made a name for himself up in Canada, making fiberglass 2-piece septic tanks in the 1950’s (at the time, the common way was to dig the hole and create a concrete tank at the site. The two-piece fiberglass tank could be trucked out to the site and assembled right there. Made construction time a lot quicker).
He modified one into a camping trailer for his family and friends liked it.
One friend even mentioned that its shape reminded him of an old Bowler hat and the new trailer company was named!
Once “Boler” camping trailer production started, its popularity seemed to herald a whole movement where companies were switching from Aluminum to Fiberglass as a construction material for their trailers.
Hunter seems to have been one of those companies.
They even include the mid-line “belt”, which was were the two halves of the Boler trailer’s body were put together.
I absolutely love this! It is beautiful, practical, and cozy. Great job! (love the storage)
the interior is okay, but it’s the exterior that is a showstopper! so cute!
I love it so cute. Where did you get canopy its perfect
Deborah RodriqueZ – Here’s the website for the woman who restored that trailer.
Maybe you can write and ask her about the awning there.
