Hi! I'm new to VTT and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Sarah. I'm a mom of two girls, 9 and almost 12. And I have a very support husband. I've been into vintage camper trailers for a long time. I was on Craigslist, like I do a lot and saw the ad and told my husband, that's her. After a week of emails, we drove 3 1/2 to get her. (Which I come to find out, its not that far to drive compared to other owners of vintage trailers.) On the way home, we named her Betty. She is a 1960 Shasta Airflyte. I can't wait to make her ours! You can find me staring out my kitchen window at her and pinching myself. I'm so excited to find this forum and learn from all of you! Let me see if I can add pictures..

I'm becoming a fan of Airflyte's. I think the layout is great! I have a 12 y/o son. Maybe our camping paths will cross one day!

I was shocked no one got to her before we did. I think we got a super deal. Especially living in CA, everything cost more here!

Welcome to the forum... I'm working on a 59... You'll get all the help you need here. She looks like she's actually in pretty good shape! That rear panel under the window needs to go but there's a lot of good looking wood in there.

God grant me the strength to restore the trailers I can,
The courage to strip the parts off the ones I can't,
And the wisdom to know the difference...
