    What a wonderful restoration. When I was a kid in the 60's and early 70's we had one almost exactly like that, that my dad my brother and myself would hunt out of in the cascade mountains of Washington. I remember warming my hands by the propane light, I think it got hotter then the furnance as I recall.

    You have yourself a very special place. A simple CLEAN basic functional trailer where you can sleep, rest, read, have privacy, shelter & not pay a fortune for it. A very special place. Nice job!

    I have a 1961 Shasta Compact . I am so impressed by how much thought you put into the design, how much you were able to fit into such a small trailer and how well you pulled it off! My trailer is very much original. I have it all cleaned up and looking good, but it only has what it came with back in 1961. The original ice box (which mine still has) has poor insulation and is only useful for keeping sodas cool. I also have the original stove and oven which work well. I agree, the closet is just too small to be made into a bathroom so we use a shower/bathroom tent instead. While my wife and I will keep our trailer very original, again, what you have done is amazing and shows that you don't need a huge trailer to be comfortable. Well done!

    Very nice job. We had one of these when I was about 11 or 12. (Got a picture of the front of it actually) My job was to put the scissors jacks at the back of the trailer. Well, one time I forgot, and my dad & I were sitting in back at the table, and my mom was frying hamburgers on the stove. When she brought the burgers to the table, the weight transfer cause the trailer to tip, and besides making my mom fall towards us, the pan of hot grease flew off the stove and got everywhere. I don't think any of us got burned, but thank God the trailer didn't start start on fire. I don't remember what the punishment for my stupidity was, but I do remember how freaked out I was with the incident. I don't think I ever forgot the jacks after that.....

    Lots of really nice upgrades. I particularly like how well you matched the additional cabinetry to the original.Maybe some sliding doors on the overhead storage areas. So the contents don't fall out during transport. Matching them to the upper cabinets above the kitchen area. Still a great redo.

    This one looks so much like ours, I know Zipp came about when one of the partners left and started his own company which is why ours look so much like a Shasta. I like how you use the table to make your bed, it's much better than the way ours sets up.
    Thanks for the tour, I have a few ideas now.....
