- This is episode one of the DIY build series where we completely gutted our 1972 Shasta Loflyte vintage camper trailer. In this video were deconstructing the interior of the camper and prepping everything for a complete rebuild. We will be posting videos of our progress along the way. You can also see a final video on the Winnebago we completed two years back on the channel.
Enjoy and Thanks for watching!

Great camper! I own this exact camper, lol. That is not the original sink or thin laminate countertop, or cabinets underneath. The sink is in the right place. In the original 1969 Shasta, to the left of the sink is open countertop space with four drawers underneath it. And they took out the 20 inch wide, 3 burner gas stove that is the vintage avocado (like mine) or yellow-colored with the matching overhead thin stove hood. The stove is on the left side of sink when facing the kitchen cabinets. Where they replaced the fridge is the exact place where the original avocado-colored small fridge went. I wish I could add photos but I can't. Great remodel! Love it.
Damn man, I pretty much grew up in exact same Shasta, my best friends parents had one and as a 12 yr old we loved hanging out in that
That’s awesome… I’m looking forward to getting this one going
I LOVE the vintage campers and love your dog! We have three Bostons ourselves. 🩵
Thank you! This is our third Boston terrier. Absolutely love these dogs.
Looking forward to seeing your build. We have a 71 Loflyte that we are currently working on.
That’s awesome… Yeah, I’m super excited to get things going!
We are working on a Shasta 1400. Looking forward to following your progress!
Getting started in the rebuild next week !
We have the same interests. We have 3 shastas and 2 Bostons. Best dog’s in the whole world.
Agreed!
So are you going to show restoring the electric for the trailer hookups and stuff? What kind of wood are you going to use? It's a nice project
There’s a couple different videos that show at least some of all of the process… I don’t do an actual tutorial on installing things more so just highlighting it, a lot of this I am learning on the fly and I’m not a professional… I used white pine for all of the framingbut coded everything with polyurethane to give it a little extra protection
We just got the same exact camper, ours is basically just the shell though. We will have do electrical and plumbing
How much did you pay for yours?
Nice !!!! I got this one for 1800$
If you need anything or want to check out our process, we have a lot more detail on Instagram…

I just bought a 71 Shasta LoFlyte as well, just here for ideas. #TinTrailers4Eva
Question: doesn't gutting it like that compromise the structural integrity? (Look at me with my big words, LOL.)
LOL yeah but with this particular trailer I’m just reusing the aluminum exterior, roof and frame I’m going to rebuild everything from scratch you’ll see you in the next video I just posted… This had so much water damage everything you touched you could almost push your fingers through
However, these things are pretty rigid with some decent bracing you could easily square everything back up to build a new layout
I'm working on a 70 play-mor myself. I've watched quite few vlogs of others , some show leaving everything intact pealing the skin in order to avoid needing to brace & then to copy frame work. That version might save your skins so to speak from when the camper might implode if you're not ready. 'Trailer trash to treasure", "Moitec" & maybe "Rob the rebuilder" these are other sites to watch for knowledge or inspiration.
Good luck to all that take on an adventure like these.
I got the same one paid 400$
Nice ! I was just able to get another one just a little different for $500
Got a 72 1400 we're restoring got it for free, nothing was inside it,it was gutted we're restoring based on pictures of the exact camper
Nice 👍🏼 cool looking campers
