I have always like the rear door design, but so few exist. After admiring the one in the RV Hall of Fame in Elkhart, I decided to build one from scratch. Nancy Kroes provided a ton of files for dimensions, and I had a pop up frame perfect for this project. Had an old stove and sink, vintage lights. Need to find an icebox and early windows. Probly fab the door from scratch. Here is a few pics...

I am here to tell you that you need to stop and review your insurance now!! Talk with your agent and make sure you have the coverage for your vintage or newer unit that you expect. Case in point...friend traveling home from recent rally. Hit in the side of a very nice , low miles, 1967 Dodge Coronet wagon, towing a restored 1957 Scotty Teardrop. Severe damage to car, but repairable, Scotty was hit and knocked 40-50 in the air and landed upside down in a ditch. Sustained major damage, and awaiting insurance report. Probably totaled. Will insurance pay what owner believes it was worth, and what he believes was covered for? Million dollar question!!

Yes I have them on several forums. And the woody teardrop camper is for sale. Built it 8 years ago, and it has served us well and the compliments never cease, and we love it, but the wifey took one look at this one, which originally was going to be for sale, and she said she wanted to keep it. So...the "Touring Lodge" as we call it must go!

While killing time waiting on a fellow employee to show up at a job site, I wondered next door to an antique shop looking for vintage camper treasures. Found this cool little fire extinguisher. Got it for a few bucks. Thought it would look cool in a vintage camper. Pyrene brand I think...complete with box and mounting bracket. Even had a dealer pamphlet so I slid it underneath for esthetics !
