cardinal cuteness

when all is said and done, its the camping that counts.
for more details of this trailer and the price email me at cbcnm@aol.com or call me at 503-493-8990



tanks/storage dinette area

the new water tank is under the left dinette seat. thats also where the electrical stuff is. under the right seat there is storage, i keep chairs there and my pop up awning along with a rug for in front of the step to keep from tracking stuff into the trailer while camping. there is an access door that you can easily reach when you open the front door.


kitchen


the sink has a new hand pump that pumps water from the new storage tank. the other faucet is used when you are hooked up to "city" water . the storage above the kitchen area is ample. i loved the curved cabinets . originally they had small mirrors placed in a diamond shape that were missing when i bought the trailer. you can see on the wood the outline of where they used to be. the little scalloped shelf is also really cute.


icebox and curbside wall

two different views of the curbside wall with the icebox. the icebox is not original but it seems to function well. you get best results with 2 blocks of ice or frozen gallon jugs of water ( 2). you could also use it for storage and just use a cooler for food.

bed

the main bed is a futon that can be folded up to a couch for seating if needed. above it is a single sized bunk with a new matress that could be used as a storage shelf or kept up in the non bunk position for maximum head room.

dinette

the dinette seats were recovered and springs re tied by a professional auto upholster-er. the new material is vinyl and easy to clean. i chose to keep the original look and design and she did a great job on them.
there are 2 storage cupboards above the dinette with the great curved birch. on the far right there must have been a stereo installed at some point because there is a square opening that was cut into the birch :(
they had an ugly clock covering this when i bought it. i had planned to put a vintage photo or something over it , but wanted you to see that it is there.
there is a propane lamp just above the table as well as a lamp that is electric so if you are hooked up to electricity it is functional. also a lamp that would operate on a battery system ( but there is not one) apparently it might operate when you have the trailer hooked up to your tow vehicle but i just learned that and have not tried it out.
