Thanks RICH, being a Travco owner, this information is informative to all Travco owners. At least it gives us a starting place to resolve these issues of up-grades or resolution of safety issues that the original Travco companies foresaw  as a safety necessity. 

Any assistance of rear-end or brake upgrades also can be addressed by "  strangeengineering.net /catalogsearch/result/?q=brake   "...

Thanks for helping out Rich.I don't trust a craigslist ad unless it has a local phone number in the listing.Plus if its to good to be true it probably isn't.

Hi Rich,

We used to have a 1970's Trailblazer, we recently sold it,  and I found the Trailblazer Logo that was on the Awning.   I've placed it on an auction on e-bay starting bid 99 cents and wanted to advertise it here also.   Its not in the best shape,  but its a start for someone that needs it .  Can I do that?

We currently have a 1992 Gulfstream which is new to us, but not a vintage trailer.   We enjoy camping where it is quiet like the National Forest campgrounds,  not the developed ones.

Thanks

Fred & Laurie

Hello Rich

Thanks for the welcome. We've obtained a 69 Travco, 27ft. It's in pretty good shape, interior is nice. It set up for a couple of years so we're trying to get her running again. Just started the engine today, couple of valves stuck I think but it runs good. Also the Kohler 4 cylinder generator doesn't have spark. Suspect the magneto.  Well enough, glad to be a part of ,'Good Old RV's

Todd here. I am so happy to find an active blog about trailers as opposed to the ones which were last commented on before lint was created. I have what I think is 1968 or 1969 Nomad trailer. What do you think?

Hi Rich and Thank you. I 

If anyone has any knowledge on Vintage Sprite trailers of knows Jo's I might be able to locate info on them,it would be a blessing. I have surfed the net for days and  don't find a lot

Thanks Rich!  Nice rigs. 

I dream of one day having an  early Travco built up like William Shatners with 4x4.  Right now I have a sportsmobile van -- well used.  I am looking for a travco presently. 

I love the old Broncos. 

Thank you Rich! Appreciate your welcome....

LOL... I have heard that saying before Rich, just a bit different.  "Well your handier than"  " a shirt on a pocket"...  LOL...!i I wonder if anyone has written a Camper Sayings book yet?

Thanks Rich for the words of encouragement and welcoming me aboard. This is a new adventure for me, but looking forward to it.  All suggestions and advice will be greatly appreciated.  Ellen Pierce

Thank you, Rich.  I really appreciate your thoughtful welcome note.  I am a bit nervous about all this as I have sunk $ into a 30 year old RV, but I am hopeful it will work okay.  I do not do well traveling as a rule, but the idea that I can bring my home with me is very exciting.  I am going to take your example to heart and start slowly to gain confidence in my camper, as you say. 

I look forward to being a member of this site.  I think it is really going to help. 

Thanks, Garth

Thanks Rich!

I'm sure I'll post questions as well as pictures.

Weather permitting, my hubby & I will be traveling down to Southern Ca.tomorrow (fri)to pick up a '64 Terry and bring it back the next day. It has a little wood rot from a leak, but has most of its original parts! It was a steal at $1350.00!

Thank you Rich, This is the Travco 270 the first one in the Netherlands. In 2016 we realize a total restoration (interior / exterior).  I will keep the Travco group informed and asked them for information when necessary . Kind Regards Martin

Thanks for the add,Looking forward to all the ideas that ppl share .

                       Thanks again Rich.

Thanks for your friendly welcome . I got 2 old RVs 1. Tejas Pickup camper 2. 75 Winnebago Brave . I just uploaded my first picture just 2 days old, a 2 day ski trip in my Winnebago, 100 miles from my home.

Thanks for the welcome Rich. I saw that post by "Blaze" regarding the Scenics at Tejas coachworks. That's what prompted me to join the site. I do love early trailers. We have a 1967 Aloha 12' that we use for camping. I am trying to upload a 285KB JPEG for my profile photo, but it does not seem to work. I keep getting an error message. Thoughts? Take care

Tom

Thanks for the add to the group. I look forward to seeing and reading the posts and pics on here. I have restored several newer campers but never a vintage one. the one I have I'm not even sure about what kind it is. Been told its either a little dipper or a cardnal maybe I can find some help here, anyways thanks again.

Thank you for the nice welcome Rich!! We are so excited to revive our Lil Yellowstone and start using her!! through the course of her renovation I will have lots of questions and any advise is going to be greatly welcomed!!

Thanks Glad I found this site

Thanks Rich I will post pictures I believe I have a 1972 Dutch Craft 

Thanks alot Rich I really appreciate that,, I have been searching for years with no luck,,i can use all the help i can get... Ron

Thank you Rich for the welcome.  And that's a great idea about cutting the back and shortening it up.  I still want to use the drop down for the bed but a coupe of inches won't matter on that. I'm looking forward to this and will take pictures as work progresses.

thanks for the welcome

THANKS, 

Hi Rich, yes it seams that a lot of us RV'rs are more and more ladies. :-)

Thank You.
