Just wanted to introduce myself.....I'm Stephanie, from Houston and I just bought my first camper yesterday as a matter of fact She's a 1966 Kit Companion. I am big into Renaissance Faires and these little campers are a hit with those of us that camp on a regular basis, and at different faires throughout the year. So, I am happy that I am now in the Vintage Club!!! I've wanted one for a long time. Anyway, She has some work to be done on her...mainly the roof so I posted in the exterior repair forum first.... once that is done I can focus on her other minor issues, mostly cosmetic....but I am super happy and excited that I finally got the camper I've always wanted! It was love at first sight!

Here's someone in your part of the country. She's not a professional restorer but she rebuilt her Shasta Compact herself. There's a link in the thread to her blog.

I thought they just sat in your drive and got worked on. That's all mine has done so far. Wayne

Sorry, forgot to say, I'm in Houston too, in the Heights.

My son's wife's mother, his mother and law, not mine, just bought a 71 Tag Along and she and a girlfriend are rebuilding it, with a new birch interior, to go camping with the sisters on the fly group. She's in Sugerland
