I bought this trailer for parts, now I am thinking about fixing it. What is wrong with me? I have just gotten started good on my current project and I need the fridge, stove and hot water heater that is in this camper, not to mention the 500 bucks i gave for it. I don't even know what kind of camper it is. Maybe tomorrow I can start taking them out.  |

You have it bad. I'm just about there with you. When I saw vintagebruce's comment about just taking Sam's space for the other trailer, I actually paused and started thinking of ways to get it in my backyard and Sam's shed out. Then I realized Sam has all the gardening equipment and stuff in there and I wouldn't have room for that without the shed 😔

Looks like a late 60s Fan, cool!

We don't see a lot of double axle campers. Everyone needs a hobby.  |

Maybe I need a chicken farm.... |

It would be a shame to part this trailer out, so classic. Looks a little like my 68 concord, or a frolic.....?

If it has a wider colored horizontal stripe encompassing the front window it might be an Avalon. As a dual axel, (without the usual unflattering fiberglass dual wheel flares), it should tow better at that size, which might make it more easy to sell. IMO it is a decent looking vintage (maybe) late 60's camper.

I didn't used to like the "bustles" on the back, but I have to admit that after seeing a lot of them, those little appendages ar growing on me. Nice trailer!

I like 70s trailers, they look good to me and you can get them a lot cheaper. I don't want to spend several thousand dollars before I spend several thousand to restore. I dont like the 70s interior, except for the plastic flower washers on the ceiling, I wonder how they will look on birch. |

The bustles are cool but tend to be "leakers".
The 70s are a lot easier to find but often are harder to sell. Many looking for a vintage trailer want the cool old hams instead. I think birch would help most trailers.
