Hi! And thanks for the welcome message! I just purchased a well-loved 1969 Kit travel trailer and am excited to have found this site! Looking forward to all there is to learn as i get started!
we are lucky I guess the 70 cabana is not too rotten,so just some wood replacement in the walls and an aluminum nailer along the fastenings locations ,some rivets,fiberglass,bondo and paint,shouldn't take more than a couple years ,ha ha ,
Recovering the interior in formica and updating the systems
I'll post some pics when my wife tells me where they are !
Thanks for the welcome! I stumbled across this site when I Googled "Cree Travel Trailer" and was delighted to see there are fellow Cree owners on this site!
We also belong to an online Airstream community which offered us sooooo much assistance while we were refurbing the A/S..........I'm happy to see this site exists for other types of trailers, I'm certain we will use it often.
The A/S is our first trailer and at this point the only useable trailer we own. The Cree came to us from a friend who spent his childhood camping in it and after he and his brother got too old for family vacations it sat in his fathers yard. My friend wanted it to be restored and used, so after promising we would take great care with it we brought it home. We know we will need to completely gut the inside, but we did the same with the Airstream so we have an idea of the work involved.....but it's all a labor of love, right?
I will post photos of the Airstream and a few photos of the Cree soon. The Cree was used as a storage shed, so it was hard to get good interior photos.

Iam looking for tailights for our 1982 Travelmate motorhome. They have 3 lenses and are surface mount. They were very common in the 70 and 80 not made anymore. Looking to purchase a pair.
