2nd time trying to post but did not work so if this is a repeat I am sorry. So I am perusing craigslist as I often do and see a ad for "old trailer" with a few pics and some poor spelling from someone typing on their phone I find this is only 20 minutes away so I drag my darling husband out to the woods and weeds taller then me surrounding this gem and as he stands there contracting malaria and shaking his head no I show him the original orange oven and vent and hubcaps, I mean original hubcaps, how can you say no??? So we go home telling them we were going to think about it and I decide that night I need this camper so I text the owner who is asking 700 if he will take 450 and he texts back 500 so we have a deal, I whoop and go down to the living room where the hubby is sleeping in his lazyboy (at 1030pm) in front of the tv and tell him he needs to go pick up this item I purchased the next day, you should have heard the joy in his voice! (my ears are still burning) anyway I am now the proud owner of a 17 foot 1966 Fan in need of a little help, isn't she beautiful?!!!!

Nice Fan. Excellent stove.
But what's this about a wagon? What year? Birch? Title?

I did fall off the wagon, I now own 2 campers. Yikes ! I believe it is birch but then all the doors are a dark wood, not sure I like that, but it is better then the blonde paneling in our shasta. and a clear title woohoo! We struggled with the title on our Shasta so for this one that was a requirement. Thanks for the comments everyone!

Nice find! The FANs are built really well.. one of their main selling points when new. I LOVE that orange stove. If I was on the fence, that would've sealed the deal for me! Congrats

Well, we call it a bustle, reminds us of the women's dresses from the 1890s,
