    Sweet! So great to see this beauty restored instead of junked! What an incredible job! Yes, would have loved to seen more pics of the inside! My husband and I bought an old 1968 Shasta (it is a little bigger than yours). We probably paid a little too much for it but the elderly gentlemen selling it was very ill (hooked up to oxygen) and my husband felt sorry for him. Brought it home did some repairs and reconfiguration of the sleeping arrangements. We take her to the Outer Banks fishing. Luv it!

    People complain about family photos? Don’t they understand a camper is about family and making memories, especially when you can restore one together like you’ve done! I’m about start a resto on the same camper. Thanks for the inspiration, great job!

    Thanks Jake. I found this little camper next to a barn where it had been fro the past 22 years, and my wife just had to have it. So, with much love and attention it was transformed into a better camper than it was when it was new!! We just love it. Thanks for looking.

    Wow, what a transformation. Thanks for sharing it. I'm getting ready to buy a 1978 camper which the owner advertised as being in clean condition. I guess we'll see. Excited to renovate it. Yours is inspiring.

I am so excited, I started to restore it a month ago and founf thew name FLEETWING in the inside wall, but that was all I had to go by. I will post pics once I it all finished.

      Thanks for taking a look at our camper restoration video. This little camper was parked beside a barn for 22 years when I found it. Needless to say, it was quite a challenge to get the job totally done. But it was well worth it and we still enjoy using it today. Best of luck on your own project if you are restoring a vintage trailer - we get lots of looks and plenty of visitors wherever we take it! Cheers.

      Hello Fort Wilderness Ricky - Thanks for the kind words about my camper restoration video. This was my first attempt at any posting on RUclips, and it was really meant for family and friends to have a look at what we were doing with the camper. I had no idea what I was doing when I made this video, but it is what it is! And yes, the kids are grown - one is 24 and married - the other is almost out of high school. We've had a blast over the years in this little camper. I'm currently restoring a 1965 Airstream. I'll post a video about that restoration as soon as I get enough pictures and progress made! Thanks

    Hello lalunette-----------> Thanks for taking a look at me camper restoration video. I replaced everything under the camper just because of the age (1970), as well as the floor, walls, ceiling, all insullation, replaced all working components in the loueved windows, installed the air conditioner, and the list goes on and on. The camper restoration made this little camper better than it was when it was brand new! Everything is re-inforced and made to last. It was truely a labor of love!!!

    Big Tex347, thank you for sharing "a dream come true" of yours with such creativity that includes the family. Your video is awesome and had my emotions running high. My father had purchased a small ttrailer way back in the early 70's when I was 10, and he took the whole family(9 of us)on all types of camping trips in the little fellow! Sure, we were embarrassed then, but grateful now, because my siblings and I now laugh and laugh of our memories til the day(45yrs later)!! PRICELESS. Thank you for reminding me of "family", may you and your family makes countless memories...

  • @montiraruba2831
    @montiraruba2831 10 лет назад

    Thank you for posting this great video. I have just acquired a small camping trailer myself almost in the same condition as yours was. I just replace the old axle with a new updated axle which raised the trailer up to my truck level. Now comes the actual work on the trailer starting with the inside. I haven't gutted it out yet but that will be step one.

    • @BigTex347
      @BigTex347  10 лет назад

      Hello MontiR Aruba ----- Good luck with your camper project. I had my doubts about restoring this one but it took about 3 months of non-stop work and it was done. We use it all the time and people just seem to love it when they see it at the camp ground or even when we're pulling it down the road. Please post a video of your camper - I'd love to see it.

    • @montiraruba2831
      @montiraruba2831 10 лет назад

      BigTex347 Oh, thanks for responding. My camper is about the size of yours and I think a lot of people are starting to like these small gems. Especially of the early years. And when they are restored, people see them and notice them. Many are used to seeing the large 23 footers and toy-haulers and then once in a while they see small ones like yours and mine; especially when they are restored. I keep an eJournal of my project with photos and videos. So yeah, I will post them when the project is done.
      Thanks for the inspiration.

    Oh sure, it's easy when you're married to a beautiful woman who happens to be an interior decorator. Go ahead, rub it in.
    Nice job. Beautifully finished. By brother has ceiling tiles like that in his home. My dad removed them from the old school house he converted into my childhood home. They're made of a relatively soft tin-like metal. Beautiful.
    A treat of a video. A family story in addition to being a documentary of a rebuild. And the music was wonderful.
    Best wishes to you and your family.

    Thanks for the kind review of or little camper. The ceiling tiles were recovered from an 1880s house and we decided that they would work great in the camper. My wife put a faux finish on them (silver) and they worked out great. They are actually some kind of tough paper composit material that was pressed into a mold. They are not metal. anyway, they look great. Thanks again.

    Hello Paigenmarc-------> We are in Montgomery, on lake Conroe. The camper is here for now, but it 's real home is on our ranch in Blanco County just the other side of Austin. We were a member of Sisters on the Fly for one year, but never did anything with them. Ours is a family camper so Sisiters didn't appeal to us that much. We usually take it to Dixieland RV Park in Carmine, TX during Round Top weekend twice a year and we take it to Canton (First Monday) about every other month. We love it!!

    Hello KhmerBoy82297-------------> Thanks for responding to my camper video. We had the outside painted by a professional paint shop in Montgomery, Texas. It was preped and painted in a professional paint booth and sprayed with several coats of clear. I drew out the pait design on a napkin while flying from Texas to Washington state. I took it to the painter and asked if he could paint the camper black and silver using this kind-of lightening bolt design. He taped it off and the rest is history!

Of course, about half way through we sat in a shell-of-a camper and looked at each other like we were nuts to try to do this on our own. . . but, we never gave up and eventually (3 months later) we had a little beauty of a camper. Good luck!!!

  • @BigTex347
    @BigTex347  12 лет назад

    Hello 1gristle----> Thanks for watching the renovation of our camper. We love it and people flock to it where ever we go. Sometimes people are waiting outside the camper in the morning before we even have a chance to wake up - they can't wait to take a look inside. When I stop for gas, or just driving down the road, people are absolutely thrilled to see it. It took me three months non-stop (all day and night) to complete the restoration. Best of luck if you decide to do one of your own!
