Rare vintage trailers available 

When you gain access to a rare vintage trailer it is important to be prepared to make your move. These rare vintage campers are becoming extremely popular and increasingly difficult to find. Today, I Spot77 spotted the trailers on this page.  I immediately stopped my truck, got out and attempted to talk to each owner. You just can't wait or put this off. You might forget, you might lose the address or the trailer could be moved before you return. If you are too shy or if approaching random people scares you then contract me. Its what I do!


Vintage Spartan Available?

The vintage Spartan above is incredibly rare. Imagine my excitement when I spotted this one today! Can you believe the owner is using it as a storage shed? Yup, this this vintage Spartan trailer is being used as a shit container! Not even a man cave! How sad... I need to set up a vintage camper hoarder intervention. OMG!




Vintage 1966 Roadrunner Camper Available

It was a great day! I also Spot77 spotted this great 1966 Roadrunner Camper opportunity.  Drove an hour and explored this trailer from top to bottom.  I must say I was pretty impressed with this trailer.  They don't rank as high on the vintage campers love meter but I really can't see why. The interior paneling is a much finer grade of wood then even the Shasta trailers. Extremely nicely made oak paneling adorned the ceilings and walls. I'm actually accustomed to dealing with the ultra thin orangey colored Shasta wood paneling. The high quality wood inside this Roadrunner made for a very refreshing change.

I will be on my way back to pick this one up tomorrow. 


This Shasta Astrodome below is one I picked up recently and renovated a bit. The 1963 Shasta Astrodome is probably one of my very favorite rare vintage trailers. An absolutely fabulous vintage camper indeed! Fell in love with this one.


Vintage Shasta Available?

Ah yes, my final vintage trailer find of the day. A 1968 Shasta Camper. Everyone loves a Shasta Camper! As soon as I Spot77 spotted this one I jumped out and knocked on the front door. Remarkably, the owner was nice enough to give me a guided tour. This one is in rough condition. A really big job. The owner is considering his price overnight.  Fingers crossed. It could become one of those vintage campers available over night!



Well, this was my day. Please leave a comment if you are here. Have a super week a d again, if you want me to find a vintage trailer for you let me know. I see so many Vintage Campers Available!

Vintage Airstream Finder

Vintage Airstream Finder 

by Spot77 

Many of my followers and friends on my Spot77 Instagram account are very passionate about Vintage Airstreams and other vintage trailers. One of the most prevalent aspects of vintage camper collecting is the extreme level of difficulty that exists in finding these hidden treasures. I personally just seem to have a knack for finding vintage Airstreams as well as other vintage campers. 

Many of my closest friends are constantly admonishing me because of my constant unexpected U-turns and especially for my total lack of fear in approaching the owners of these vintage trailers. They watch me in horror from the cab of my truck as I jump fences and knock on doors. Successful vintage Airstream finder acquisitions aren't always an easy task. Sometimes it can be downright dangerous. Always approach people with respect and be extremely cautious when entering someone's property. 

 I welcome you to contact me if you are serious about acquiring a vintage camper for yourself. I may be able to assist you.

Finding vintage Airstreams  isn't the easiest task these days. Each year these rounded metalic gems become more rare and become more difficult to find. After all, it's now the year 2020 and the trailers I am collecting were made in 1963. A whopping 57 years old now! Truly these are a great treasure when you are actually able to locate one.

Once I am successful at my vintage Airstream finder goals and I drag one home the work truly begins. If you focus on a few specific details BEFORE you purchase a vintage trailer your restoration will go much more smoothly. There are several things that I immediately attempt to identify prior to slapping my money on the table. It is critically important for me personally to summarily determine the following:

Top 10 Things To Inspect On A Vintage Trailer Before Purchasing 

  1. Condition of Vintage Airstream trailer main frame. (The base it sits upon)
  2. Functionality of axels and wheels
  3. Extent of exterior shell damage
  4. Any broken windows?
  5. Condition of trailer subflooring as seen from underneath. 
  6. Next check the interior ceilings for evidence of leaking. 
  7. Inspect everything for water damage and/or wood rot.
  8. Check wires and outlets 
  9. Inspection of towing wiring is very important.
  10. Replacing old tires and lubrication of wheel bearings is one of the most important things you should do before moving the old vintage trailer to a new location.
