We made a video visiting CA wine county on a budget using our 1966 Lo-Liner. It was our first time using Harvest Host and it was great! It was more fun than our previous expensive trips! Specifically, we visited Lake County and Napa County. We really enjoyed the laid back and friendly atmosphere in Lake County. The Harvest Hosts treated us really well! It was also nice not having to worry about driving after wine tasting. 😁 YouTube link: youtu.be/k3IFz8QhxqY?si=rM3X4rWxthbWNbeHflic.kr/p/2prbqwPflic.kr/p/2prdwMVflic.kr/p/2pr6F5sflic.kr/p/2prbqrZ

Did you guys go inside the trailer? I am wondering how that looked and what condition it was in. Too bad the doors are gone. I imagine varmints have been leaving calling cards for decades...👃 Those windows are reminicent of a 1940s trailer. That would be wild that that trailer is that old or were they purloined from some other long lost and forgotten early canned ham. Oh, if the plants could talk and tell us. I bet there are always so many questions in this kind of exploration. Cheers, Rod Sorry, I really don't remember what the inside looked like. It must not have been too neat or I would have taken a picture. Living on the soggy CA coast where abandoned things don't last very long I enjoy exploring the old relics in the deserts.

We spied this trailer on an abandoned homestead in Eastern OR. As much as we love our trailer, the Jeep gets us to those faraway amazing places that we don't dare take the Lo-Liner.

Dang it, I don't see how to get the BBC link on my android? I guess the BBBCode only works on a PC, updated OP.

We just stayed at the Red Bluff KOA as part of the Vintage Camper Trailers Glamperfest. I've got to say that it was the nicest KOA that I've ever stayed at! I'm not so sure that I'd pick Red Bluff CA as a destination, but the campground is right off of Interstate I-5 and HWY 36, (HWY 36 isn't recommended for long trailers or drivers afraid of curves). The spots nearest I-5 might have been noisy. If you're interested in Glamperfest or what we found in old town, check out our video.

Thanks for watching! There were so many amazing trailers that it would take hours to film them all! Luckily it was just a windy 136 miles for us from the coast on HWY 36 with very little traffic. At 3 HR, 15 MIN each way, we averaged about 42 MPH. I usually pull over anytime there is a car behind me, I don't think that I had to stop more than 3-4X in either direction.

We just returned from Vintage Camper Trailer's Glamperfest trailer rally in Red Bluff CA. It's a reoccurring event in the Nicest KOA that I've ever seen. Please check out our video if you are interested.

Looks nice, and they weren’t all Aristocrats! How was the water leve l with the drought? Definitely the most Aristocrats I've seen at once, there were a few Shastas, but they'll allow anyone vintage. I have more photos, but forgot how much I dislike photo hosting sites! The lake definitely was down , but not nearly as much as many others.

I finally made it to an AA rally, several years after completing my trailer. It was the first time I had to make sure that I didn't have too many cocktails and end up inside the wrong Lo-Liner.😉 The Clearlake Campground is a cool 1950's campground and the owner Lisa loves vintage trailers. flic.kr/p/2njMuzFflic.kr/p/2njJYYrflic.kr/p/2njJYYr

The lower picture is when its cold. I added a few painted screws, but I think it just made it worse, it seems to make pressure points around them, I'm afraid that the aluminum will eventually crack. We live on the coast and I never even noticed an issue until we travel someplace hot. Unfortunately for me, I am anal and will need to try to make it better, even if it means that I have to repaint the entire side of the trailer. I guess I need to decide if I can live with more screws or if I want to tear it all apart hoping that it will be better when I am done. It's tough to get the skin warm enough, since it's cold here. Even in the shop with a heater, I am never going to be able to get it as hot as it gets when its 100 degrees out.

Hi guys, I've been trying to come up with the best approach to fix the saggy skin on my Lo-Liner. The trailer was disassembled and all the bad wood replaced and the droopy curb side wall fixed. The skin looks fine when it's cool, but when it gets some heat on it, the skin bows pretty bad. I'm sure that it won't be a fun job, I'm thinking I will need to get the skin as warm as I can and will probably have to dowl a bunch of screw holes because the new ones will be right next to the old ones. It still seems like it will be difficult to get tight enough. I think the skin was stretched when the old wall was bowed out, but of course it looked fine when I first installed it in the cold. If course, I put gutter deal on the seams before I painted it, so that should be great. Any suggestions?? Thanks!
