Hi All,

My wife and I recently purchased a 1962 Broken Arrow Tepee. We found it in central Kentucky. This coincided nicely with a planned trip to Bourbon Country (the American Bourbon Trail). We towed it home, to Chicago, the weekend after Labor Day 2013. It's pretty much ready to go but we have decided to refurbish a few things before we use it, in earnest, next year (2014).

Here's what it looks like hooked up to my wife's Escape. This picture was taken just after we bought it and were headed north, on I-65, to Bardstown, KY:

I also created a blog to chart progress and changes/updates: Broken Arrow Tepee

Glad I finally got to see a photo of it LOL.. You know a red racing stripe might look good on it. Let's see the inside Dave....

Red racing stripe? Ha! You're appealing to one of my old past times.......

The Escape is 12 years old with about 115K miles. It's been a great truck but is starting to show its age. My wife's business is also growing so she needs something larger. With the cost of new SUVs so high, we'll be looking for something used, that's a couple of years old. I would hate to put a color on the trailer that doesn't match the tow vehicle. That would be bad form! (rofl)

Anyways, here's the inside:

I am in the process of re-doing the galley. There are more pictures on my blog, which is linked in the initial post (at the bottom). Let me know if you'd like to see anything else - Dave.

Thanks, you're very kind.

The dinette seat frames are original and in exceptionally good condition. The interior colors were chosen by the previous owner's wife. Her cousin is an upholsterer and did a killer job when recovering the dinette seats. We're going to re-do the galley and find a Formica color that matches the green in the curtains. The back splash will get a different treatment, too.
