Well, I picked up my daughter this afternoon, then dropped by and showed her the trailer.  She seems ready to do some camping this summer ... this time in the Red Dale.  (It makes it easier to coax a teenage daughter to go camping if they have their own toilet and facilities.  Ha!)

We hooked it up and pulled it into town where we took it to the car wash and thoroughly cleaned her off.  40 + years of Oklahoma red dirt had been blown into all the little crevices and caked-on under all…

Hello- Could anyone give me some tips on painting  the interior of a 1968 Shasta Airflyte? The paneling is in good shape and I plan to wipe it down with a mild cleaner and then? I also want to do the cabinets.drawer facings. All are in good shape except two bottom doors under the sink that will be replaced.

Seal the wood with a sealer?

I plan to use an enamel paint (easier to clean in the future).

How many coats?

How do you think it will look?

I am not…

I just bought a 26', 1969 Red Dale travel trailer from a local family.  I've been looking around online, and haven't seen another one like it anywhere - anyone know of any others? I've found a few short ones, but none this length.  No photos, yet.  I'll have some up, soon.

It's in excellent condition - the man's parents bought it new in '69, used it for three years, then kept it parked under a corrugated tin building ever since.  The outside is a bit faded, but all there and in good…

Does anyone have any information on Scandia Campers or Scandia Iron Works of Minneapolis MN?  Polished aluminum underneath, does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with the brushed on house paint before repainting?…

I remember, The days when I could walk down the street and not worry about being hurt by anyone. I remember the day when my dad worked for fleet wood in the 60's and 70's and some of the 80's and Rv's were built to stand. At least some of them anyway. I miss those days. All I see now is pain, and chaos on the tv. I have come to the sad conclusion that the commander will get what she needs only. No more plans of up-grading her, just fix the problem and move on. I had plans for her, but just…

i don't know how many of you have seen this yet, but i wanted to make everyone aware.

Can you rattle off three towns that start with the letter “P”?

What about three fast foods that contain the letter “B”?

Or, finish the “Tale…

I am the proud owner of my second glastron.  My first was a 1970 and the one I have now is a 1969.  It was driven to Northern Michigan by a friend 15 years age and has been in his pole building since.  The mice and other rodents were using it as a storage unit in the walls.  I have started to redo it a little at a time.  We will be moving to California this spring so it will be stored at my sons home in Wisconsin.  My plan is to spend summers in wi and continue…

The last time my husband and I spent a winter in Florida, we toggled between workamping and sightseeing. After we managed a pumpkin lot in South Florida for a couple of weeks, we spent some downtime lounging around an RV resort near Orlando. Then we headed back south for a month to manage a Christmas tree sales lot and wrapped up our Florida trip with an extended stay on the Gulf Coast. It was a great…

Since snowbirding season is still in full swing, we bring you another snowbirding post. This time, Marty and Patsy Martin from Napkin Dreams tell us about snowbirding from a family perspective and give advice to other RVing parents trying to navigate their way  through snowbirding season. We have several great blog posts coming up, including a post about the junior ranger program…

My wife and I recently bought a solid Cree camper. I believe its a 16 footer. Im looking for any information on Cree campers and where i may find parts for one. I plan on beginning my restoration in April, but am researching parts now. I also am looking for the name of this little gem, and what the origional paint may have look like. The previous owners brush painted the outside and put a Tar like substance on the roof, given the body is solid I just want to strip and paint the outside and…

The beloved class c came to my family in early spring with the knowledge that it would need some attention but what came as a surprise to us was just how much attention it would need.

My friend's dad had previously owned the RV for 14 years in which it was mostly a yard orniment.

As I pulled out of their driveway I looked at the milage on the odometer and the milage on the title. It had been driven 497 miles in 14 years!!!

I did an oil change, replaced tires,…
