Needs more than a flatbed to haul...more like a roll-off dumpster. From the exterior-only photos, it would literally be using the outside skins as the template for the framing. Not impossible. But extremely brave.

I sure like the shape. Perfect project for a first-timer whose enthusiasm hasn't yet been sullied by having already lived thru a ground-up-total rebuild. Skins do look pretty good but we know what's hiding beneath. Then again, after seeing so many total wrecks selling for more than a grand, well...

A case of caulk and a door and a weekend later your done. Just don't know what you would be done for. Seriously it would be a major project but would be cool when done, it's cute.

I keep looking at this one thinking 'how did it come apart in such good skin condition'? It almost seems like all the wood just rotted away to nothing left to hold the 10,000 staples that originally made it whole. It's not moldy, doesn't look a crash of any kind, just very curious, eh? Course, no telling what's left of the frame just because "tires hold air and it rolls", but then "complete on the inside" leaves one to believe there is a template here. And a temptation. Thank goodness it's 2700 miles away (each way) and I'm not allowed to bring home another stray. On the other hand, someone living north of Sacramento might want to take a nice weekend drive for an ice cream at 'Taste and See', and maybe check it out. Just sayin'

It is very cute and looks to have some interior. Whoever gets it could strap or shrink wrap it and trailer it home. (on a flatbed) No title kills it for me.

Could this camper survive shrink wrap? Would it literally be crushed?

If the cabinets, and all the fixtures, ice box and stove are in there, it's worth a good look.

I think it could be flatbedded home with proper shoring up. It wouldn't be easy but could be done..

The Bargman L 200s are really in demand. Wonder why? They were used on Airstreams....
