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 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.  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

Thank you! I just bought a 1976 Fleetwood Terry travel trailer and I'm renovating it. Has a couple of roof leaks. Don't have damaged floors yet though. So I'm pretty sure it's worth the $630 I paid for it. It is to me anyway. Can't wait to take it out.

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.

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?

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

Thanks RIch,
I'm in process of restoring. 49 little ceasar and would like information for window manufactures for the common style of window made for this period of camper.
Any direction would be appreciated.

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

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.

Thanks for the invite..may my advice be sound, my limitations acknowledged

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   "...
