Trying to talk my friends out of one of their old trailers. They live way out in the desert near my Grandma. This one is butted up against a cabin and us being used as a bedroom. I could not get inside because their son is currently in residence. There are no identifying marks as to what it is or how old, but the whole Jettson's thing it's got going on with that top fin is pretty cool. It's a lot longer than it looks. I'm guessing at least 20'. Thanks! Ginger

You can bring that directly to my house and I'll be glad to work on it!

Now that must be some kind of a rare bird. Looks like something from right out of "Lost in Space." I like it a LOT.

Under cover in the desert...buy it! Seating for a large family. I like the twin beds. Maybe it's this layout with the side bathroom?

The metal trim makes everything look like an old bar set or some other retro future piece. I would seriously consider it if my next trailer doesn't have reusable molding.

That is THE MOST COVETED Aeroflite Falcon. BUY IT! My friends Bob and Cindy Ross sold a gutted one for $4500..... And that was CHEAP! If you don't buy it, tell me where it is and I will race on out there, anywhere in the country and buy it!

It's a little complicated because it's married to a cabin. Literally. It's not for sale......yet. When it is, I'm all over it. I'm working a deal where I can bring another trailer down and swap them. Then I will want to trailer it back. It's 1000 miles away from home.
I want it bad.

It was something that has been done quite a bit over the years. Especially back when people were still running small mining operations. They would tow the trailer out to the claim and live in it while they built a structure to live in. Many times they would build it right on to the camper. Then they used the camper as the kitchen and extra sleeping quarters. What county and state is it in Ginger? Perhaps I could be of some help if it is kinda near me?

I have to wait for the grandson that is living in it to.............move or something. I'm thinking of offering a nicer, but less desirable-to-me trailer to put in it's place.
I have a permanent spy in place (Grandma) that goes there every day. She's in on the plan now.
I have time to work it out. It's not going anywhere. It's well hidden. I'm devising a plan. When I get it all in place I will likely be passing by you (Mobiltec) coming home and will definitely stop in and get advice!

Grab one on the way and swap them in a weekend
