LOL-
I'll do my best for you CJ! My Uncle put me on the same mission here in NY to find one just like mine for him!
I did find a pop up on craigslist for just $250 that looked decent in the pictures, but he wants a hard sided one.
I am still in awe that I actually own this and got it for FREE.
Still doing the happy dance!
Hugs,

Thanks Nini!
Its so darn hot and humid here that I haven't been able to bring myself to stay in the trailer long enough to paint. Maybe after dinner tonight I can get started. although I hate to drag everything out for painting just for a little while, only to have to quit and clean it all up again. Decisions Decisions....LOL.
Other than that we did more work on the roof to make sure it is watertight- fingers crossed there!
I will be sure and update/post pictures as work progresses.
Again- any input or suggestions from any of you "seasoned" trailer gals is welcome.
Hugs,
~Laurie

Good lawdy, but I don't think I'd sleep at night for thoughts of how to fix it up would surely keep me awake! Good find - and with a bathroom to boot. Heaven on wheels...

Looks almost like brand new. They certainly took good care of it! Lucky you! I think I would leave most of the vintage 70's look, It is for real.

Thanks my friends!
Nicole- she is not ready for the road (yet). My intention when I got her was to have her as my girl cottage/retreat in the back yard. I currently don't have a vehicle that can tow her (my minivan might be able to, but I don't have a hitch etc ....YET) LOL
I have to break the boys in slowly here at home, as neither one of them are very fond of "camping" or glamping etc etc.
We will see how things progress!
Marly- Texas might be a bit too far of a hike with her, but perhaps someday I can make it there- after all- I've never been to Texas!
Margo- YES I was blessed indeed when this camper came along
Connie- you are not too far from me- you'll have to come for tea in her one night!
You can see my other post with some of the "after" pictures. She is coming along nicely!
Hugs,
~Laurie

Congratulations Laurie! How blessed to have a gift like her...and how nice for the givers to know you will love and cherish her like their parents did. I am looking forward to keeping up with your glamping efforts. Post lots of pictures, please! And enjoy every moment of the renovation.
I keep thinking of how excited you were with the wall tent and how you wanted to show Ed...'you have to come see this!' and he says, "Noooo....I really don't...." Hahaha, has your hubby said that to you yet? Makes me laugh. We win them over a smile at a time, don't we?

What a lucky duck!!!! That's wonderful, Laurie! And, I'm rather partial to the interior since it's what our house looked like in 1975!!! Will be so cute, you have to post pics as you go!

Thank you Jonni- Been havin fun cleaning her and re-decorating. I have a separate thread with the "after" pictures. I am very happy with the way she is turning out. Still don't have a name for her, but I'm working on that too.
Suggestions welcome!
Hugs,

Ha ha ha--- cute name Sharon!
I have a neat sign in the shape of a teacup- and it says:
"The Cup and Saucer- Open from 6am serving Breakfast and Lunch Daily"
SO- I was contemplating the name "The Cup and Saucer" .
I kind of like that name- it sounds cute and small, like the trailer is, and it fits me because as you know I am an avid tea drinker.
So, for now I am tossing that around to see if it continues to grow on me.
Hugs,
~Laurie
