I love how compact this! And yet it still has everything for a small family!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you for checking this morning

[@professorr.5427]

Right, Karie, it's such a brilliant design. 😍

[@lorihutton4719]

I had a lil 12 foot Scotty camper. Laid out almost the same. It had a larger closet w toilet in the rear. Made no sense to climb through clothes to use but I always wanted it to be a wetbath. Would have worked. Then the man of the house decided to sale to a co-worker while I was gone one-day. No I will never forgive or forget but I've let by gons be for now. How I miss it even though we always use the pop up. You have a nice camper for the two of you. Some folks get to large to homey then they never enjoy the outdoors. If I'm staying in I will just stay home. I could live in one this size. My 4 legged daughter would love that also. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels to you both.

This thing is 60 years old. And I see a gem right there.

[@judyhobday4760]

we had a Winnebago rv about that age. the bed worked like yours and we slept in it with two dogs. Very cozy. You have done a great job and really impressed.

[@lisapetty6998]

What a brilliant trailer and how clever the owners are! thank-you!

[@kengittell1529]

we love you, Lisa!

[@unicorntv1232]

Beautiful wood. I love that he didn’t over do the restoration, kept it original as much as possible. Beautiful. 👍💖🇺🇸

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@TheGratitudeAttitude]

Thank you for this tour, Patrick! The designers of this camper really took care of some important needs ... storage, lots of windows for light and fresh air, and cooking space! He's right about the lack of cooking space in new trailers - sometimes the glass top on the stove is all there is! ... This ol' girl has it all! Very nice restoration... ~ Maria

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you Maria

[@demadre]

Thank you for taking the time to show us these old beauties, I have never seen one of these. Great choice on the cushion fabric, it goes very well with the interior.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

You are welcome

[@jaimieorfanos4684]

Lovely trailer and so REAL. Not fussy, but rather they really use this and enjoy it! Beautiful handmade curtains and cushions too!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you

What beauty! He's a great owner too. Good video Patrick.

Thank you Linda

[@dewey4533]

Oh my goodness. Looks just the one we had when I was a kid. Great times, great memories.

[@dinglebarry528]

That table brought back many great childhood memories in our family camper. Simple design that obviously is still working 60 years later.

Thank you for watching this one

[@janetfolkerts5827]

Wow ! Sooo cool, thank you for sharing your tiny home and appreciate all the work you have invested..it's a lovely little trailer .

Very nice restoration!!! I am pleased and impressed with your attention to original detail where possible. The curtains and cushion material are so perfect!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@dross24MA]

@@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures You are kind to not slam me for a silly, but true, final comment about aesthetics. Grin=;^} Of course, I was equally impressed with all the attention you paid to external, structural and mechanical details. I had watched the progress as my brother was restoring an aluminum unit before health issues forced him to stop, so I know some of the work you had to do.

I LOVE this little camper ... Thank you for sharing.💞

[@nanabettyg]

Sweet trailer, and love the fabric choice! The counter top trim is spot on for the age and you can hardly tell it’s been replaced! Thank you again Patrick for sharing your hobby with us, and can’t wait to see the progress on your little Bambi! P. S. I think they have vintage trailer rally’s on the West Coast!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@mikemanjo2458]

Such a lovely camper! Great find. You have done such a marvelous job with it. Great work! I love that wood and the cozy cabin feel. My grandparents had a Holiday Rambler from the early '60s. It was very similar. So nice!!! Happy travels!

Wow 🤩 Patrick, what a Gem! I love vintage trailers and this is one of them thank you to the nice couple for showing us there treasure 💎 And thank you for the tips about the electric brakes, good to know!👋🍊County Ca,

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you for checking this out

[@lillypatience]

Love it! Ken sure is handy! Two seating areas in such a small space is awesome. This is the kind of trailer I would love to see what Flyte Camp could do with it.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you for checking this out. Lots of possibilities here

[@MultiRabe]

Interesting...I was born in 1960, so this little “Canned Ham” model is kinda like a collectors item, as well as a camper! Very cool 👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼

[@cekfraun]

That is a well-thought-out little camper. Great design. And they have done a nice job of rehabbing it. It reminds me of the little travel trailer I lived in when I was 19 and a student pilot in Ely, Minnesota. Great memories.

[@xilei3070]

Cute...and I love that tropical looking fabric.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you for checking it out

[@lesliegranowski2683]

It’s really amazing that he’s got a 60-year-old trailer in such great condition

Good teaching about the brakes, and other things, Patrick.

[@professorr.5427]

Wow, Ken, you are quite a handy guy to get that little gem road-worthy! The cushion covers are beautiful. 🤩 Thanks to your friend Mike for lending a hand, too. Hope you make many happy memories. Thanks for the tour. 👋👍

Nostalgic tour for me as I had that same model - 1960. Miss that little beauty as it had so much charm!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you for checking this one out

[@MTSVW]

I love the old birch interiors. They’re so warm.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Yes, agreed.

[@nomadicfoodie6286]

Loving the technical details you give Patrick! The wife and sis in law did SUCH a great job with the fabric choices! Really lovely restoration. I am interested in the "gutter" feature he talked about (I don't get how it works, it seems modern teardrop trailers have something similar) and then later in the tour how it relates to water damage inside. No need to explain now, but please do explain in the next opportunity. Great tour. Getting better n better!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you for checking this out. The vintage trailers have rain gutters over the windows

[@shamrockgirl6595]

Spectacular job creating the cushions!!! The piping is perfect!

[@vickihall6743]

I remember sleeping in the hammock above by parents and my younger siblings slept on the table bed. This was early 60’s

[@loveisall5520]

I grew up camping in the sixties in a little Serro Scotty about this size. It's so very sad that an affordable, tow-able version isn't available today. Thanks for sharing!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

My thoughts exactly

[@realtruth3731]

Love the simplicity and functionality of this compact trailer!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks for checking it out.

[@innerstream]

That is a sweet set up! The little closet could easily be a small bathroom ! And an outdoor shower would complete the need! I love it! ❤️

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

[@roxannegordon2854]

Totally agree Mind Bender. There is no way I want to visualize using that 'porta potty' in the middle of the night while I lay 2' away on the bed. I'm out!

The dinette table in my 2018 Winnebago Navion folds down exactly the same way. I guess 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' applies lol Such a cute camper!

[@kristinritter9962]

Awesome little camper!

[@jjplayssimulatorgames960]

Love the fact that they kept it original. Love the wood work, most older or vintage trailers people paint them and it takes away the original factor and makes it not worth anything to me. I am light sensitive so light and bright just hurts my eyes.

[@wk7060]

Very nice trailer!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

I’m happy you found the video

[@1950harleycharley]

Those "Louvered" windows are actually called "Jalousie" windows.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Thank you for the information

[@TheOtherBill]

Wow! "Jalousie" is a word I do not think I've heard since the 60's. Super-old tech.

[@clarkclarke]

Yep.....grew up in the Caribbean..our house had windows like those ...lots of them ...LOL!!!! That was our weekend chores...... cleaning those windows...woo weeee!!

[@burly636]

Brakes are a good thing. 😂 that is really nice. They don’t make RVs like that anymore. That wood is gorgeous. I couldn’t tow it with my Kia Sportage. I just bought a 35-year-old Toyota dolphin. The engine inside was partially rebuilt in 2006. And they’re going to work on the brakes next week, They vibrate a little bit when I put on the brake. Whatever it is, it’s gonna get fixed, I think it just needs the rotors(?) turned.

[@artheaded1]

This is so well built!

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Yes. 👍🏽

[@sandranatali1260]

I've had a small trailer break away, a bit frightening. Was able to manage a stop without any damage. Managed to use the truck to accomplish a stop. Safety chains helped keeping the trailer from escaping away from the truck.

[@NewJerseyOutdoorAdventures]

Oh wow, that is scary.

[@maryflaherty7096]

We had one like this with our 2 kids. Had bunk beds in back. For us bed over table like this.

I don’t care what others say about vintage rv campers or trailers, they are much a part of American history as the newer model RVs.

Hi Ken and Stephanie, i have the same camper. Mid-restoration. yours looks great! Quick question - My tip out awning windows don't seem to want to close all the way. Have you experienced this? Thanks, - Kurt

[@jeansmiley6912]

Thank you for the tour! We are restoring a 1956 Branstrator and we share similar features. Did you stain the wood or just varnish? Did you add a stain color, if so, what color?

[@kengittell1529]

We just varnished the wood. Thank you for viewing. Good luck with yours!

[@dinglebarry528]

A little beeswax or candle wax on the cupboard edges will help them to slide easier. Beautiful restoration! Lovely unit.

It's great to see this. We are in Chicago and have the same camper! I've never seen another one. Do you have any documentation on it? Is there a way we can get in touch - I'm hoping you can help me connect some dots on the history? We've had ours for 7 years and are needing to sell, and I would want her to go to a home where she'd be restored. Thanks!
