I just can't wait to see how you decorate it. You are soooo creative. Please post pictures of when it is finished. Our little trailer when we had one was a trillium and about the same size as yours. It was really fun to travel with. Happy trailering!

We've had an amazing "melt-down" of all that snow, however, prediction is that we are going to get more. Good thing I didn't have any big plans for taking her somewhere right now.

Bonnie,
If you look back through all the pages of this thread, you'll see LOTS and LOTS of things that I've done to the "Reiver's Rest".

Michelle,
Those were a gift from a friend who is always gifting me with goodies! I'm not sure where she got them . . . cool aren't they!
I'm glad they are that antique-y bronze color because they go with the overall theme of our trailer! She also gave me the napkins!

Found this folding chair frame buried in the dirt. Cleaned it up and made the seat for it from fabric that matches the cushion on the top of our loo. I also used heavy natural canvas as a double layer. Should be good for extra "Reiver's Rest" seating.

Found this electric fondue at a thrift for $5.00. It'll be great for other things as well, such as heating soup, etc. It's from the early 70s. . . same era as the Reiver's Rest!

Awesome!
I found the bottom 1/2 at a thrift, so now I am in search for the top half...
You are right on, they are great for our wee playhouses on wheels,,,
to warm up water for a morning face wash... not to mention great for soups/chili etc.

Oh and keep your eyes open in search of,,, I found a small 'deep fryer/griddle' thingie that you can fry up an egg and a couple of slices of bacon... I will pull mine out later, to take a photo and post for you.

here ya go Cj,

luv these lil 'mini's "
I bought the fry skillet at store called Bi-mart, for around $15 (if I recall)...
The yellow pot was a Thrift find for a couple dollars.

WHat I like about the one you bought, is that I can remove the 'pot' and take it outside or to the table w/o needing the base..

I saw one of the little fry skillets at the thrift too, I think for $4.00 . . . but I didn't buy it!. Maybe I should have!

Oh, I'm not worried about the color of the fondue pot . . . it's fine like it is!

Gracie,
there were some on ebay, one of them with a starting bid of $3.00. A couple others (I think) but they were way too expensive.
Happy hunting!

I found an interesting item at World Market the other day that was on clearance (wouldn't have purchased it otherwise, even clearance price was a bit much) but it's an unusual portable water bottle thingie in a canvas bag with a vintage tent camping scene printed on it.
I'll post a pic as soon as I get one taken.

Oh, and by the way, the glamper was in really good condition when I got her, for which I'm grateful, so I didn't have to do much to get her ready!

CeeJay, Indeed your little camper was in great shape. I did take the time to read the posts! You did such a fantastic job with it. So cute and cozy!

BTW, I am right on the Canadian border, "I can see Canada from my house". Montreal is approximately 30 min away - all highway and a bridge or a tunnel, it depends what you like or how much of a car ride you want. It's beautiful!

Cheers!

I have a sister and her hubby who live in Williams Lake, BC; her oldest son and family in Prince George, BC; her daughter and hubby in Vernon, BC; another daughter and family in Ontario and yet another daughter and family in Sask. All her kids are grown and many of her grandchildren are grown and married or getting married. I'd love to go visit her again and hopefully I can soon.
