    My parents purchased that exact camper new in 1978 and we traveled across county in 1979. Departed from Upstate NY and traveled to California for 6 weeks and saw so many National parks. It was an amazing trip and so many wonderful memories we will always cherish.We all still camp today with our families. Enjoy!!

    As we have a small old camper we used with our 8 children, I think of all the memories that took place in this small little "home on wheels." Nostalgic. I pray you have many good memories here as the previous owners no doubt did. : )

    OMG you need to keep it as original as possible. This is so awesome. Love it, love the pot you found & the lantern. OMG I would LOVE to be able to own a vintage camper like that one. I'm too old already but I can't wait to see you both restore that gem, this is gonna be FUN, thanks for bringing us along ♥

    The wood in the back was probably used to put under the leveling jacks so they don’t sink into the ground if your not on pavement

  • @amberklaire9419
    @amberklaire9419 4 года назад +13

    Please please please don't let him get under that thing without jack stands!!!
    Our local car community just lost someone because they didn't use jack stands on a solid surface, and I can't imagine what would happen if you lost Connor to that.
    Especially when you don't know what condition the suspension is in, and it is 40+ years old.

    • @dloveofgod8269
      @dloveofgod8269 4 года назад +1

      I agree, so very true.
      Hoping the creaky soft spot on the floor isn't from water damage. I imagine Connor & your dad checked for that & on the roof, the water tanks underneath.
      Best wishes to you. Feel better.

    OMG that pot you found with the orange flower is from the EXACT same pots and pans set used on That 70s Show! My grandma has that set as well. I use the small pot to make top ramen ALL the time 😂 They must have been really common back then! So cool!

    • @OurLittleNest

  • @Go-zi1py
    @Go-zi1py 4 года назад +3

    My parents are RVer's and most of those pieces of wood are to help level the camper. Even though ithe camper probably has leveling jacks on it many campsites are so sloped you will need the wood blocks to finish leveling it.

  • @LindaSmith-vq1br
    @LindaSmith-vq1br 4 года назад +7

    If you have a spongy spot on the floor, odds are that there is some rot and a good chance of mold. Your emptying and scrubbing will definitely help, but if you find that you are still sneezing inside, do a check for mold. It can really not make your day fin. I like the camper and am looking forward to seeing how you renovate it!

    • @kaylang4166
      @kaylang4166 3 года назад +1

      There are mold "bombs" just like bug ones. The good thing about them is that they get every nook & cranny since they're airborne. We've used them in mildew basements.

    I love that flooring so much. If you do have to repair that spot maybe you could carefully cut around and remove what you need to and then use the flooring from inside the cabinets to patch that area and put something else inside of the cabinets! Or make the entrance have a wooden landing area and then the rest of the flooring be original? I would probably try to do something like that if it was me, so I just wanted to throw that out there.

    @jencasey316 4 года назад

    I do tent camping and backpacking not camper camping but I have that exact percolator (hint: in order to get it to really work well you have to make a full pot but I just store the excess that I cant drink in the first day and reheat it in the base of the percolator with the basket taken out for subsequent days. If we are staying in one place I will just take the basket out and leave the liquid in and store it in my cooler - once it has completely cooled off! If we are hiking on I put it in a leak proof bottle and just pour enough back in at the next site for the next day's coffee). I also use our "toaster" a ton! It is a bread sized and shaped open weave steel basket on 2 arms with an attached "lid" piece that you put the bread in (or we can fit a whole grilled cheese sandwich in it) and you use a bracket to suspend it over the coals like a spit (2 y shaped sticks work well as the bracket). Its a quick and easy way to heat things up without crowding coal space and we can put other things besides bread or sandwiches in it as long as it is something that requires slightly more indirect heat and is bigger than the holes it works!

  • @caitlynschlaudecker4813
    @caitlynschlaudecker4813 4 года назад

    Super cute camper! Here's a thought: maybe you could keep the table space on the right as a bed full time, and have the table on the left as your sole eating space. Maybe that way you could invest in a comfy (larger) cushion that wouldn't need to fold up, so it could serve as a bed and a lounge area! It might help it feel more cozy and permanent!

    We use our toaster just to make toast, waffles, and bagels. There is also an insert/sleeve thing you can get to make a grilled cheese/toasted sandwich in the toaster. I have never tried it but I heard they are nice. We usually just use it to mainly make toast for breakfast or lunch though. Most cooking, for us at least, is in a cast iron on the fire. I highly suggest trying to find some cast iron pans with lids also a rack to hold the pan and go over the fire. We love campfire food! 😋🥰 So excited to see more!
