That tray beneath your freezer is a drain pan to defrost your freezer with. My parents had a old frig.freezer like that back oin the day. :)

[@debraellison6255]

We put a pot hot water In and closed the door to get it to melt faster. We could just pull off chunks of ice off the sides.

[@colonel9990]

Be sure to check that drain pan occasionally. It can fill with water, and overflow on you. Google translate: Achten Sie darauf, diese Auffangwanne gelegentlich zu überprüfen. Es kann sich mit Wasser füllen und auf dich überlaufen.

[@RevdUp.Art.Fotografer]

It has been said already the sliding tray under the freezer is for defrosting. Defrosting one like that is a HUGE pain in the butt, trust me. The griddle on the stove w/b better for pancakes, eggs...things without grease. Clean up w/b no fun from bacon, sausage, burgers, etc. I believe older appliances in working order could potentially be worth some real cash. I'm sure it depends on make/model and location...lol... shipping would be, um...ah no, LOL. My mom had a REALLY nice stove that had come with the house. I LOVED COOKING ON IT. I was sooo bummed when we didn't take it with us when we moved. My mother didn't care. Good luck with the gut and rebuild man. I hope it goes on without a hitch.

[@thepinkyprincesspoetc.a.5767]

It’s for ice cube trays

[@darlahouston4670]

@@debraellison6255My grannie had something similar and she used a hair dryer to defrost it with.

[@chrisdunn3235]

Please keep the original appliances if they are salvageable. That range is amazing. Good luck on the restoration. I can't wait to see the videos!

[@tbuddy3005]

I agree they can be gone through and repaired if need be, ads to the Nostalgia of the trailer. Does not matter now as the video was posted 3 years ago but just throwing it out there.

[@sunfloweralpacas]

Or at least sell the appliances for a big price! Those appliances will work better than new ones for years to come.

[@sunfloweralpacas]

Taking out all the original cabinets? Why not leave it to be really restored by someone else who values it and buy a new one instead?

[@robertaviles8451]

Those appliances will outlive your grandkids! They are far more reliable than computerized versions!

[@kirksway1]

It's beautiful. It's like a museum piece. while not at all a "camper" it is truly a travel trailer or early mobile home. I know many collectors that wish they could get their hands on this!

[@cuernavacadave]

I would keep the stove and fridge. Love the old retro styles!! Such classics!!!

[@rhondashotwell7358]

Really cute! I'd hate to get rid of that stove, it looks to be in good shape, and that refrigerator is awesome.

[@vicaroo001]

I know. The appliances are AMAZING.

[@FMHammyJ]

I hope you kept the original appliances......nothing today would be the same quality......and would you really want to do without that nice griddle for pancakes and bacon?.......Cabinets looked original too.......hopefully when tearing back to the studs you replaced the panelling with birchwood/maple too......I find for a small space, nothing looking quite as warm....especially when it gets a nice patina with age.....

[@anneahern6257]

The stove and fridge are fabulous!

[@caspaabriel4794]

Wonderful and amazing. It would be nice to keep the original features having them restored, such as the vintage fridge. Though cost would be your consideration. Thank you for sharing this fantastic video. Kind Regards

[@suzarra8945]

Save as much as you can. It is beautiful.

[@gormanwpjr]

Rather ingenious how they managed to make the trailer two story, by utilizing upper shelf space on the lower floor as a walkway on the upper floor. And the ceiling on the lower floor as the elevated base of the beds on the second floor. Very cool.

[@planetx5269]

Wow, do you mean you are going to tear it out and throw it away. That would be insane

[@mikemotorbike4283]

Vintage has its own market, you get more for that. Who wants new appliances in an old shell? Our farmhouse had original cupboards, they were worth 60 grand. Frankly, you'll never replace the finishes with something as beautiful. Everything in modern RVs is generic, off the shelf. Everyone has the same stuff. Chipboard, it falls apart. New RVS not recommended. These have lasted. Unique!

[@mobulusmoby3864]

That's not a camping trailer, unless your tow vehicle is a semi... That is a typical mobile home, for the era... That is meant to be put semi-permantly on a lot, with full water, sewage, and electrical hook-up. Not meant for camping, at all!

[@I_HateClickBait]

I think it would be called a park model now, so you're correct. Somehow get it to where you're going to leave it and set it up.

[@kathleenhartman1368]

That's a nice layout. I'd love to live in one like it. It's better than any "tiny home" I've seen so far. Can't wait to see how it turns out. - (though you should really keep the stove.)

[@whatadollslife]

These tiny house creators can learn a lot from your trailer model!

[@williamscoggin1509]

The first time I ever saw one of these on TV I immediately fell in love with them. I had never imagined a two-story travel trailer existed.

[@cathilake6959]

Not a camper, these were built to be a full time home. I can remember them on mobile home sales lots brand new. They were built only a few years as the laws on width and length were changing for moving on highways.

[@ebou4714]

Wonderful reuse as much of the original as you can. One of a kind.

[@joettejungbluth2193]

I remember my grandma’s trailer from when I was a little girl in the late 50’s & early sixties. I have fond memories of staying with her. I remember all the panels of wood, but my favorite was the windows and doors. Whenever I see those it takes me back to her trailer and my overnight stays! I love that style of trailers!

[@ssdd3332]

Thanks for the "before" tour! Can't wait to see the magic of the "after" tour. For an RV of that era, that looks quite spacious with a 2nd level no less.

[@vickismallwood2082]

I grew up in one just like this and the outside color was the same. Wow thank you for reminding me of the good old days.

[@juliahadley4977]

That is an absolutely got to be the most beautiful, wonderful Mobile home I have ever seen! And trust me I have seen and been inside many. I currently live in a 1958 new moon 10 X 55 foot mobile home that I get so many wonderful compliments on I haven’t changed anything it’s just been very well taken care of painted, whenever it needs some thing it gets it but what a beauty you have oh my goodness I would give my right arm for something like that until you’ve lived in a mobile home I’m not kidding you really don’t understand The good vibe, good feeling you get. the mobile home park that I live in is a corporation and I’ve actually lived in here since I was two years old and I’m 55 left for 10 years when I got married but came back my parents lived in the park also up until their passing. And when I came back after 10 years no I didn’t move back in with my parents. you have got a time capsule. I envy you, I love it thanks for the video oh and in the corporation we pay 125 a month if we own our trailer. Can’t beat that.

[@PegsFlamingoville]

Where is your Corporation park located? I thought i had it good paying only $275 per month.

[@coldspring624]

I grew up in one of these......I loved it and still do

[@randomspirit]

Cool old camper! Especially loved the stove and fridge. I hope I can find the "after" video to watch too. it was fun listening to you switch back and forth between English and German. I was surprised I understood any of the German. It's been forty-two years since I took German in High School. LOL

[@McGentry]

That stove omg! It’s awesome!

[@jimtomassetti8928]

You can't beat the cozy effect that a older trailer give's. This one is beautiful can't wait to see it complete. The up stairs is Beautiful bath and every thing.... Nicest one I seen...Very Unique 🎉

[@clintmadill120]

Wow. My wife and I lived in a Stewart almost identical to yours except it was a little longer and the hitch was on the opposite end. From 1987 to 1991. Our youngest son was actually born in the upper bedroom on the end. Seeing this was like a trip down memory lane. My wife laughed and said she contracted a disease from walking east and west in trailer as it was oriented in that direction. we removed the toilet and sink from upstairs and the downstairs bath had a full size tub , toilet and vanity. It was really cool to see this thing.

[@josephrogers5337]

amazing how much storage and accessiblity to plumbing areas. Quit inventive for it's day. And still under max towing height. I will follow your renovations.

[@terrencesmith6156]

Travis I lived in the same home with a slightly different floor plan. The kitchen was at the end where your dining room is . The living room was sunk down which gave it three levels. My dad had a mobile home dealership in the early mid seventies and myself and two friends set it up and moved in. What a 🎉 pad was 1978 or 79 can’t remember which. I never thought I’d see the interior again in my lifetime. Thank you so much for posting this, please do a follow up I’d like to see what you have done. Great job on the power !!!

[@randytim512]

It's very neat. I would keep the fridge and stove if the work. They are really cool.

I love it all. These fascinated me as a kid. Keep stove, cabinets, fridge.

[@carolemccraig6875]

I grew up in a blue version of this trailer. Was so sad when my parents sold it and bought s house. I had the downstairs bedroom. We built a room on the side which was our family room and the only one with A/C.

[@tedwalker1370]

In 1965 I look at, on a sales lot, a 2 story mobile home I think it was a 52ft X 10ft. The design and engineering of it was just genius. I would like to have bought it but the other members of my family just did not appreciate the greatness of it. to make so much usable space in such a small area is amazing.

[@deborahryan8452]

I remember touring a trailer much like that when it was new on the lot of a local dealer. After he went out of business the lot was bought by my family’s company and they built my dad’s pharmacy there. I have been fascinated by trailers and RVs since the.

[@sharonpeek4578]

It's not a camper trailer, it's just a trailer, or mobile home. The drawer under the freezer compartment in the refrigerator is to catch water when you defrost the freezer.

Your kitchen has all original appliances and cabinets... Certainly not from the Seventies... That's probably one of the two or three left existing... I've only seen one other "in the flesh", it was in Austin, Texas in the late 1980s. Good find!

That is the order kitchen. I had a trailer that was of similar vintage, and they also used the black hammered pulls and hinges, only on the kitchen cabinets.

[@robertapearson3507]

It was also a “meat drawer” where one would store things like bacon, cold cuts, luncheon meats, etc. It worked pretty well when defrosting the freezer, but moisture would always get past it and run down the sides, to the bottom, below the crisper drawers. My mom would put a couple of thick towels on the first shelf (after taking everything off of it) and kind of bunch up the towel along the sides. That made the “clean up” of the fridge so much easier. It also meant you could put a pot of very hot water on that shelf and that would help to speed up the defrosting process. It was at least a 1/2 day process. You didn’t just defrost, you cleaned the whole fridge - inside and out. I know - I was often tasked with the chore on a Saturday morning, lolol. 👵🏻🐾💕🇨🇦

I'm on the fence. I want to subscribe and like, but I'm a fan of "vintage," and I love how it is in original condition and seemingly not an absolute dumpster fire...Obviously bringing the electrical, plumbing, insulation and windows etc up to current standards is going to be a huge project ..but it's a diamond and so worth saving...and my inner self prays you keep it as original as possible and find a way to keep the windows...they are pretty amazing..DEAR GOD DONT DO IT!!
