Nick and Patrick here, from Ames, NY!

I originally posted in "the hunt" a few months ago. Well, an update:

Me and my partner decided to get her! We are the happy new owners of this 1958 Curtis. It is actually being transported as we speak- it's currently lumbering its way up to us in Upstate NY from South Carolina.

The timing is somewhat stressful as we might be getting a foot and a half of heavy wet snow next week. I'm hoping we can squeeze it in my neighbor's shop tomorrow to temporarily protect it from the storm. (long term we want to build a pavilion over it before next winter). Wish us luck!

You are going to have so much FUN with this one! Be especially careful with your green toilet-they were specially made to fit (shorter bowl) and are easy to break. The flushing handle is usually threaded backwards, wonder how I found that out??

This is an amazing find. It looks amazingly well preserved and could almost be said to be a time capsule!

I noticed the vintage dinette set and other decorative items on the counter along with the television. Did those come with the trailer or did you add those yourself?

Can you share the back story on this trailer like who owned it and how it came into your hands?

Cheers,

Rod
