We have had our little camper now for about 3 years.  We picked it up for $1400.  It had been in a shed in a small town called Weippe, Idaho. The previous owners had taken out some of the paneling and replaced it with different wood.  It had a composting toilet that was very old in it and had a stove, oven ice box 4 burners.  We removed the ice box, toilet and actually the stove and oven were in really good condition. We painted everything inside with a white rustoleum enamel oil based paint. I love this paint when it dries it has a nice hard finish and the white has a tint of gray to it so it is not just white white. Now it did take us about 4 coats to cover everything. We purchased a apartment size refrigerator and replaced the ice box.  It is only electric but that works for us. We have removed all propane lines so we do not have any in the camper but we left the oven and stove in case down the road we decide to add it back. If we do we will have it professionally upgraded and insta

 Was so fun getting 17 people together for a camping fishing trip.  We all reserved through ReserveAmerica and got 5 sites.  Everyone brought their campers and tents and we all had the best time.  This was our site our "Maizy Bell"...she is a 1967 Bell camper 13 feet long including the hitch.  My brother Chet and his camper and pickup all ready for the weekend.  Daughter and son in law with their new tent camper.  First time camping in it.  Camp breakfast in the cast iron dutch ovens....always a favorite for our family.  Always takes at least two dutch ovens to make enough.  Setting around the campfire and watching this beautiful sunset was just the best for the day.

 Just on covered our little vintage camper....been stored for the winter and now sitting in front of the house in the sun.  Daughter made the decals and hubby and I painted her.
