Hello all! My husband and I just purchased a 1965 Shasta Compact we are calling "Hamilton" and are about to begin the adventure of remodeling. He was totally gutted by the previous owner. We have the table, table base, stove, and propane tank holder but that is about it - the entire camper is gutted. The previous owner gutted then did the exterior/interior work you see here - replaced back window, exterior corner metal trim/screws, insulation and plywood on sidewalls, and a composite flooring (which we intend to take out and replace). Wiring for trailer lights works but is otherwise not done. Axel, wheels, bearings, and springs are all in excellent condition. The trailer is water tight and has no signs of water damage (Thank heavens!), and has some of the original exterior plaques and wings it appears. Yay! We are hoping to restore to "mostly" original features, parts, and layout, but with some modern conveniences, updates, and touches. Any advice, tips, suggestions, ideas, plans, parts, photos, etc. are welcome and needed! See his photo below and let us know what you think!! photos.app.goo.gl/S55oCf6dnGB1NqUv8  Erin

Looks to be a good candidate. Do a lot of research on restoring one. Check out mobiltec on you tube. He has a lot of videos on a 66 super Shasta. Your gonna have to take it all apart to do it correctly but it’s not a big deal. Also check out this thread. Great info here vintagetrailertalk.freeforums.net/thread/9371/mid-60s-shasta-refurb
