Let me know when you head north. I really like the rear door. What layout? I don't imagine you got the bunk option?

Oh, and can the cabinets and upholstery look any cheaper or more 70's? Not worth $13K if you ask me.

Keep digging-- you'll find one. I personally don't need a pic of the top raised because I've camped in one, and I don't camp for the interior view.

We're going to get the 16DB with the queen bed option, love the idea of a permanent bed!

Very cool thing; I couldn't find any info on the Livin' Lite website about a battery in the rig, so I emailed them. About two hours later the owner of the company emailed me back with the answer. We went back and forth a couple of times and I got succinct answers... nice customer service!

My wife read this book about "Sisters on the Fly"

Aparently, it's an RV organization where women get older campers, doll 'em all up, get together to camp, flyfish, and sit around the campfire talking their men and their grandchildren, well....you know........talking, and talking, and talking, and ......

anyway.....she has no interest in joining up with the SotF, (yet) but she absolutely fell in love with their funky little campers, and said that if I ever found one on the cheap......

Well.....onna my sign customers had one who was more than happy to trade it for work from me insted of paying $$$....(and it worked out great on MY end too!!)

it's a '64 Aladdin (built in Oregon)

it's in really decent shape for it's age too!

oh....and she absolutely flipped!!! (gotta love those brownie points!!)

Go to the 'photos' page. We were camping at Council Grove Lake a few years ago when they were having a roundup. Sunday morning they had an open house with 'tours' of several trailers. Very cool.

That's too classic to pass up

Being a painter there's a lot of potential there !

Must be 10" wheels were not available when it was built

They prolly would have used them.

No or minimal rot -- that is a find.

lessee.....

first, I'm already making plans on updating the wheels & axle to a heavier unit (like from a mini-van) that has good road-worthy radial tires on it

next, there is a small bit of rot that I need to replace in the rear corner, but that's it...so this was definately a nice score

and last...other than a few maintenance things like replacing the axle and fixing that corner rot.....this is HERS!! I'm not painting it, remodeling it, or redesigning it in any way. That's HER JOB!!!

(I've got more important motorcycle projects to work on!!!)

I was with an inmate at Daytona and he picked up one of these little beauties. Two hundred eighty pounds with a queen-size bed and an air conditioner. Pretty cool. It's a BunkHouse by Bushtec.
