Once again I got some odd ball photos to show you

Since you were kind enough to post photos of my 1976 Honda CB750 custom build that I recently finished I wanted to show you the trailer I built for it to tow behind our old GMC camper.

It could have turned out better if I really took my time but I got this as a stripped down old pop up and it needed a lot of fixing.

I added a new floor-raised and extended the front so there was a "Bib" to protect the bike from rock and debris while towing. Added brand new lights and wheel…

'79 Minnie Winnie

Greetings all!

Purchased our Minnie Winnie a couple of months ago. We really didn't plan on restoring it, just spruce it up a bit
and use it as casino hopper. However one thing led to
another and now we are about 80% done with restoration.

Will post photos as I take them, have a nice day!!!!!!!!

Wonderful News

just to let my rv friends know that we stopped the leak in the 1968 travelmaster after I poured the sealant to all the seams and corners. Been working on this for at least 6 mths. We are proud of this rv and wife is out trying to find another one . Keep up the good work and welcome to all the NEW MEMBERS!!!!!

Our First Trip with Scotty

We bought our first camper less than a month ago (2 weeks to be exact) and we are really excited. We had been looking for a “Scotty” for more than a year. Although our Scotty is more than 40 years old he is in pretty good shape. Not really good enough to take on a trip, but certainly weekend worthy. We chose a state park not too far from home, Cloudland Canyon. There were many more parks close by but we had visited all of them and this was a special trip.

Worn out,…

How to find a Vintage Trailer at a reasonable price.

If you bought a vintage trailer or are looking for one you already know how hard and frustrating it can be. We have all looked on Craigslist either finding a good buy only to find out it is beyond repair or priced way beyond our budget. My wife and I found our 1966 kit for 500.00 and actually were looking at 3 different trailers at the same time. All were priced between 500.00 and a 1000.00 I might add none of these were advertised at all. Sound's interesting huh! My wife thought I was crazy…

First time RV owners. We just bought a 1977 Dodge Cruise Master!

Does anyone know where we can get an owners manual? The seller said it was in the RV but it was not.

Titling a Vintage Trailer in Kansas With No Title

I got this from a Friend a Few years back when looking for a Vintage Camper. Wishbone

The State of Kansas allowes an antique vehicle to be titled with a bill of sale only. An antique has to be 35 yrs. or older. So, a 1975 or older can be titled in the state of Kansas. You need to have the trailer  inspected by the inspection person(s) in your county, take the pink piece of paper, your bill of sale and the insurance card of the towing vehicle to the treasurers office to get a…
