The Trailer is great & the down side is the weight the trailers were of many years ago. I got a 1955 RV Trailer that has sat in a Trailer Camp Grounds since the late 1950's & hooked it up to my 98 Olds 1971 w/450 hp motor. The tire size on the RV Trailer were the same tire size as my 98 Olds. Drove it slow back to the house as did not have a sway bar yet. Took me 6+months to totally restore to Minty Condition. Enjoyed it for 2 full years on weekend trips. Was transfered in my professional life to the Deep South from Cape Cod, & after a few months parking the RV Trailer become difficult. I paid $500 for the RV Trailer & spent $1,200 on parts & tires & sold it for $1,800 dollars to a woman with 1 child. She was a very kind soul & said she would pay for what the RV Trailer cost me. Honesty is always the Best Policy in life, would not know how to live life any other way. She had a Camp Sight her Uncle Owned on a small Lake, so she had Free Rent. They had a new home to live in & I heard later had built a enclosed screened in porch onto it & enjoyed living in it. Always great to hear a positive outcome in life. I named it SeaFire & heard she kept the name. There are many times since I have wished still had SeaFire. Memories are a good thing to always have. My Professional Life took me to many other locations in the States. After one is Hit In The Line of Duty & left for dead, Protecting & Serving w/Honor 24/7, one's life journey changes. Flying Solo In Life Now I wish & pray for & need in good shape & no rust Box Truck with gasoline motor with Low Mileage. Our life journey changes in life. Where one door closes in life another door opens. I no longer look at Facebook Market Place as it has become to commerical taken over. Craigs List it appears the few times something looked ok was way across the country. I sincerely wish for Ben he found a good home for the 1967 RV Trailer & enjoyed his recovery via his Dad's intervention in finding it for him.

I strongly recomend that you remove and reinstall the trunk door up-side-down. I have no doubt that it has been acting like a funnel and diverting rainwater into the cabin(thus rotting the floor)for many years.

Great exterior light fixture there by the door. Would be cool to know where that came from. Just adds to the vintage appeal.

@Bens Campers Your son has a good eye and excellent taste. I bet it serves some little family for many, many good years to come. You can see it's got good bones; imagine a camper made today fifty years from now; then imagine flicking those light switches on! Yikes! She's old, but you can see she wears it well, and is class from head to toe. Did the couple who bought that lovely little gem get the brass bell too!?! Sure was a pretty bell.... my best wishes to you all.

Be sure- that any rubber that’s more than -15-25 years old ? is totally unsafe … and if your insurance company catches you running it they may deny a claim
