Just got home, 400 mi round trip. It's another 61 with a different interior layout than my wife's. Rough around the edges, but has nice potential. I'll give posting some pics a try this weekend.

That's odd. I've seen one rebuilt like that in a blog. And there were two floor plans for compacts but I thought it was onlyf or the 2nd gens.

Did it come with the canvas bunk by any chance?

Gotta say, that looks like it might be my Cracked Yellow Ice...................................................
So does it make into a bed with those tables? They look like they're removable but not like they would be big enough to make a bed.

No the brackets are in the right place for bunks. It's those little tables half the size of a real table. They are on each side instead of in the back.

If you scroll down the bottom of this blog, www.nationalserroscotty.org/rebuilds/amandaN/ , you'll see the following pics. I just think it's strange that with the exception of the weird tables, it's the same floor plan. And I think I've seen another one done like this, but with the canvas bunks, and a shortened cabinet bench area next to the closet.

Is that a bathroom door (with mirror)?

Yes, the bathroom door is the one with the mirror. Both of them have a closet next to it, you can't really see it in the first of the blog pics. It might not have been finished when they took the kitchen pic. Compact brackets are installed on a rail.

No, the tables have no use in making up the bed. They remove, and the bed pulls out from under the cushion. I'll try and snap a few more pics soon. I'm adding a bathroom to my attic and time is short. But I guess not short enough to drive 400 mi for another Shasta, lol.

I knew I remembered seeing the dresser and extra closet somewhere. But I thought they whipped the idea up themselves? My wife's going to pull the carpet up and see if there were provisions for a pedestal mount table originally. It's glued down

Lots of folks have looked at the floorplan of the Compact (and like trailers) and come up with the same , or very similar ideas. The Compact lends itself easily to this type of reconfiguration. The floorplan is flexible for such a small trailer. That's why we like ours so much. We did the short closet next to the big closet (turned into a wet bath), and the chest on the other side with Hamlet. We hadn't seen it (did it years ago), but it made sense to us. We kept the big table because we like to "dine" rather than "eat" and also like to play cards or other games, and have company. In the rainy Pacific NW, we can't plan on having good weather, so indoor sitting space for 4 was imperative. We love to see all the fun things folks do with 10 feet!

Hamlet, I knew I had seen that somewhere else before!!! I'm sure the extra drawers come in handy!
