Yea - so Happy for you! You will have so much fun with her! We have a 1969 Serro Scotty, and love glamping with her. You'll meet so many wonderful like minded folks traveling with her.
I know you will enjoy - fixing her up and making her feel special again is a big enjoyment as well!
Hugs, Ruth

Wow Diane, it looks like it's in pretty good shape to me. What's the inside look like? Have you figured out yet about how much you'll have to do to it? It sure is pretty.

It's not too bad considering it has been just sittin in WI. One corner of the wood frame has to be replaced and lots of cleaning and scrubbing and painting! My DH is working on the replacement of stuff and I am working on the cleaning and painting. We have to change the split wheels to singles and get new tires and replace the wheel bearings. It has a little propane stove, fridge and light so we will be replacing the propane lines. The water tank is good and the little sink is in nice shape. We will put new flooring down and new cusions and matress. Maybe we will have it complete enough to do some fall camping.

Wow.. Diane, I love it...
You will have the "frolic" looking great. With your CREATIVE touches it will be "frolic-tastic"!!!
Enjoy. Maybe you can come down to KC for the Apron Gathering with her. We will have a farmgirl booth to share for all farmgirls who bring things to sell in a vendor booth.
Livin' on rubber is best.

Yesterday we spent the whole day putting together one of those "garage in a box" to cover the camper while we work on it and also for winter storage. $400 to cover a $300 camper! I will post more pics later tonight.

Found more water damage than we expected. Pretty much re-doing the whole rear wall and one front corner. We did score yesterday at Menard's. Got a wood laminate floor for the camper for only $75. It is real cool...looks hand scraped. I have decided to name the camper "ScallyWagon". I am doing the wood floor, white bead board look walls and black cabinets. I will add some red accents and am going to use several different tartan plaids for curtains, bedding, etc...The exterior will be white with the quilted panels painted in black and white and red tartan plaid! More pictures to follow.
