Looks like I made a mistake. I was asking a question about the old refrigerator, is it junk? Then I intended to say, I might buy the whole camper trailer if the seller will take $400. I read what I wrote it sounds like I am going to pay $400 for the refrigerator. LOL.
Bad thing about old campers they are addicting. I want to buy every one that is for sale. I know where there are 4 vintage old campers. The worse part is I have a very large yard I can park 16 vintage 15 foot campers in my back yard. I need to stop thinking about buying more I need my back yard empty it makes a great place to turn around and drive out forward so I don't have to back my camper all the way down that long driveway to the street.
Why do so many people on craigslist advertise their camper is a pull behind camper trailer? I never have seen a camper trailer that you push. Did anyone every try pushing a camper 70 mph down the interstate. You better get that on video I would like to see that. LOL.

"Bad thing about old campers they are addicting. I want to buy every one that is for sale." There is a powerful force that let's me know when I'm overdoing it... And she says I can only have three.

Well I too have an addiction and it is fueled by a large yard. Not to mention my wife is an enabler, she loves the old trailers too. I just picked up a 1968 TeePee that is in similar condition. The owner was giving it away but I gave him $50 just to have something on the bill of sale. It is pretty rough but I call it a "skin and accessories" project. I think that Fan is probably the same, but that is just my opinion based on the pictures. The skin for the shape to build new walls and roof to and whatever accessories I can scrounge. For my Tee Pee it is something I wanted because of the Canadian connection.

Actually, this is what the trailer could look like if someone glamped it up. To each his own, I always say, but Hamlet would need a new tow vehicle if we hauled around all the flotsam and jetsam.

[/quote]Skin and accessories... Lol...My neighbor calls ours a "build your own trailer kit" because it's mostly just templates[/quote] Yep, that's kinda what I mean. Not a bad thing necessarily if is one that is really wanted. Keep us posted if you do go for it. If the frame, floor, running gear, skin, and accessories are good then I would probably pay $400 too. Not that my decisions are a good example all the time. ?

Price is now $400. The owner said, this trailer is worth $400 at the scrap yard. If its not gone by April it will be sold for scrap metal. Location is Murfreesboro TN about 30 miles south of Nashville TN on I-24.
