Hey all, Joined a few months after my wife and I thought it would be fun to get into this hobby/lifestyle/obsession of Vintage Trailers. We decided early on that we really like the first generation Shasta Compact so started the search. Have found a few, missed a few, actually put a deposit on one in Panhandle of Florida and went to pick up this past week but ran, not walked away from that one ( will tell about that later as trying to get our deposit back) and today bought one !!!
Picking it up on Thursday. Actually the color combo we wanted - yellow with white - and the birch is in beautiful condition. Redone about 7 years ago and very original down to the icebox, not fridge, although casework for sink,etc was painted white at one time. Has a dent on the rear that will need to address but no leaks, pretty nice 50 year old undercarriage, and ready for my wife to add her design touches inside.
(I'd put in a few pictures if I knew how but not sure how to do the link. If I can figure that out will add some later)
Regards, Mike

Nice little Compact, Mike!
Unfortunately, Shutterfly is one of the sites that doesn't provide links to post here. (at least I haven't been able to) Photobucket is very easy.

Got our Compact delivered last night and are thrilled with it ! Know I broke most of the rules by not having it inspected prior to purchasing but pictures I received were completely accurate in what they showed and looks even better than we expected. After my experience with the other one we went to pick up in Florida last week, this was just the opposite. Great seller and an honest one. Think we got a great deal and excited about putting our own touches on it. Regards, Mike

Congratulations!
Where and how did you find it? My wife loves the yellow and white. We recently bought one and we're considering the same colors.

Looks like you got a nice trailer. Just stay on top of things and make sure it doesn't develop any leaks if it is already seven years into the rebuild. Welcome.
