Thanks for the inspiration. I've been in a serious funk and was looking for a boost, something to help me get excited about my old Shasta reno. Your videos were just what I needed. Really enjoy the quality craftsmanship and simplicity of your style. Thank you.
I'm glad to see you're finding time to work on campers again. I learned so much watching your early videos, and now we are on our 5th vintage camper renovation! We are actually renovation a 1969 Shasta 16SC for a lady in Florida. Good luck on this newest project.
Just finished painting my 64 nomad last summer. Have a lot to do on the inside yet. Glad you're bringing these campers back to life 😊 this one will be going for sale
Yeah I've still got some little details to finish on the Aljo, but it works fine for what it is, so I'll get to it when I get to it. Thanks for following along!
Sometimes our Kansas winters aren't bad and sometimes they are. This one's been colder and wetter than usual, so I really haven't been able to work like I was hoping I would.
So pleased to see you back. Over the time you haven't been here I have kept checking in just in case I missed a notification. At least you were missing for a good reason...being busy with work, and not because of illness or the like. Take care and I am looking forward to the next video.
Well thanks for sticking around! I don't know if I'm gonna have anything for this coming week, but I promise there are new videos coming; it's just taking a bit more effort to get that ball rolling!
Welcome back! I’m glad that your photo booth business is doing so well. I just returned from the storage yard where we keep our ‘69 Gold Star travel trailer that I restored. It had about 12” of heavy snow on top that I removed from last Saturday’s storm here in Colorado. Unfortunately we don’t have room to store it at our house. It would be nice to have it under a cover but I’ve no doubt a HF cover would have suffered the same damage. So…shoveling it is! I look forward to future videos.
Yeah, this was only 7" of snow, but I had let the tarp get a bit saggy and it really accumulated fast up top (should've put new bungies on it awhile ago). There are some more expensive canopies that supposedly can hold up to some snow, but we don't really get much here very often.
Yeah just something a few feet longer would be nice. I don't want to give up the flexibility of a small camper, but I feel like something with a wet bath would open up a lot of additional camping locations.
Glad to see you're back. We understand about going to a bigger camper. We started restoration on our Shasta and then thinking we could do a couple small repairs to our truck camper. Now we are at the point of getting ready to sell the Shasta and keep our Wolverine.
Yeah, I think it'd be nice to at least have a small wet bath, and a little larger bed. I still don't want anything over 20', 'cause I love the flexibility of a small camper.
So nice to see you return to bringing those old campers to life again😊 I got the outside of my 64 nomad painted during the summer still have a lot of things to do on the inside. This one I will be selling. Again welcome back!
Ha ha, yep! My neighbors might not appreciate the backyard trailer park though. I briefly had four campers back there, and I felt like I looked like I had a problem, lol.
Thanks Conan I’m always interested! I love you are here again but we understand you have to take breaks and go away for some time 😁 but each time you come back you will have fresh ideas and even better results! Keep doing you and much love! 😊
Thank you for acknowledging your mistakes and showing how you can make your project better. I’m learning to create a more quality build and understanding that even seasoned builders can make errors. This way I won’t be so discouraged when I hit a snag. Thanks
Thanks for all the views! Basically I am designing and building my own, lol! The only problem with starting from scratch is titling and registering it. You basically end up with a home built camper title and some insurance companies are reluctant to insure those, and your resale value is questionable.
Glad youre back at it! Excited to see where you finally take this one. We are just renovating our trailer and started vloging the progress. What camera do you use for your videos? You do a fine job documenting the progress
Thanks, hopefully making some real progress soon! Our early videos were shot on a Canon EOS M50 with its kit lens. It had a really convenient time lapse feature built-in that I used to use a lot, but the video quality settings were pretty nearly maxed out. I'm using a much nicer Fuji X-T4 right now, most often with the 16-80/4.0 on it. It doesn't have the time lapse built in, but it's a far better camera in every other way. I don't actually use many of the more higher-end video settings because it kinda chokes my computer trying to edit it, and I don't really think it'd improve the RUclips channel to be rocking 4K. I use the X-T4 shooting events and for other things, so it's perhaps a little over spec'd for just video work, but the X-S20 is a great vlogging camera as well, and it's somewhat smaller, lighter, and cheaper. The newer X-T5 is another great camera, but it lacks the fully articulating screen of the X-T4 and X-S20, and you have to go up to the even higher-end X-H2 to get it back. I've been in the photo industry for about 25 years, so I like to talk cameras. 😁 Good luck on your project!
So did you decide that you needed to build the structural support cabinets before adding the side walls? Is that why you need to do some more demolition on what you had rebuilt?
Sort of, I decided that it would probably take longer to build the cabinets with the wrap in place than it would to tear it out, put the cabinets in and rewrap it. I got way ahead of myself for no good reason when I stopped working on it the first time, so now I need to go back and do a bit of rework. Haste makes waste. Unfortunately, I've been way too busy with my actual job to make much progress on it.
So I never really got to use it much before I sold that camper, but I followed up with the current owner and she said a fan circulating the air on the floor helps a lot (which had been my suggestion to them), but she said it's not quite a large enough unit to cool it down when it's parked in full sun. Otherwise she said it's been great. On the Cal-Craft I'm planning to mount it up near the ceiling, but I'm still sort of working through my interior design.
Love that you're back!
Thanks, I'm excited to get some work done on this thing!

@@TrailerTrashtoTreasure of course I say "it is what it is"and of course winter slows me down living in Wisconsin.

Glad to be back!
I'm in my third year of a rebuild. At times I have to stop and get away from it too! My amazement is where you find these relics.
You find them all over the place; there's at least another two or three trash campers that I know of in my neighborhood!
Yay! You are back. Love any remodel videos.
Thanks! Excited to get this camper moving towards the finish line.
So glad to see you back.
Thanks, looking forward to making some progress!
Welcome back. The best videos on RUclips 🎉
Ha ha, thanks! Quality over quantity, lol!

Hey! Glad you are back! Thanks for the canopy tip.
I don't know why I didn't think of it before!

Looking forward to new videos on Sunday… busy with work? I think you were busy growing the sweet mustache. Welcome back!
Lol, the 'stache was Katherine's idea, but now that I see myself with it I think it gives me an air of shop-class-instructor legitimacy.
Great to see you back!
Thanks! Excited to get started again!
Sort of jumped the gun with that video, lol. Still excited to get back to it, though.
I had noticed. The other day realized hadn't seen a video since you finished your booth. Glad you're back and looking forward to your next build.
It was a very very busy fourth quarter, but I'm excited to get back to work on this camper!
@@TrailerTrashtoTreasure Busy is good!
It beats unemployment, for sure!
Welcome back ...perfectt timing as I start the 1949 Kit 10 full rebuild
Thanks, and good luck on your rebuild!
So nice to see you return to bringing those old campers to life again😊 I got the outside of my 64 nomad painted during the summer still have a lot of things to do on the inside. This one I will be selling. Again welcome back!
It's always kind of hard for me to sell something I've worked so hard on, but you've got to make room for the next project you know!
@@TrailerTrashtoTreasure very true you wish you could just keep them and use on a rotating basis for camping trips.
Ha ha, yep! My neighbors might not appreciate the backyard trailer park though. I briefly had four campers back there, and I felt like I looked like I had a problem, lol.
Just found you, great videos! Im working on a restoration of a 92 class A and you have alot of useful and inspirational information. Thank you
Thanks for watching and for the kind words, and good luck on your project! Hopefully I'll be getting back to mine soon.
I am so glad you’re back filming, and can’t wait to see your progress on this camper! 🎉
Thanks, I can't wait to see my progress too, lol!
Thanks Conan I’m always interested! I love you are here again but we understand you have to take breaks and go away for some time 😁 but each time you come back you will have fresh ideas and even better results! Keep doing you and much love! 😊
Thanks! I wish it had been more of a break to recharge, but even a working vacation gives you time to look at something with fresh eyes.
Thank you for acknowledging your mistakes and showing how you can make your project better. I’m learning to create a more quality build and understanding that even seasoned builders can make errors. This way I won’t be so discouraged when I hit a snag. Thanks
You're welcome! Mistakes are some of the best learning tools, both for me and my viewers, I think!
Glad you're back Conan! (cheesy 'stache btw, 😉lol)
A moustache is a joke that you wear on your face, and you're the punchline. It's good to be back.
Welcome back!
Thanks, good to be back!
Welcome back
Thanks!
Hey I'm here!
Hey, good to see you!
I just rewatch all your videos, very informative. Have you ever thought about designing and building your own?
Thanks for all the views! Basically I am designing and building my own, lol! The only problem with starting from scratch is titling and registering it.

Conan, so did the AC work well being down at the floor? We know hot air rises so in theory it shouldn’t work well, but let us know, thanks
So I never really got to use it much before I sold that camper, but I followed up with the current owner and she said a fan circulating the air on the floor helps a lot (which had been my suggestion to them), but she said it's not quite a large enough unit to cool it down when it's parked in full sun.

So where's the other videos is the last one made
That's the last one for now, but hopefully more will be coming soon!
