- Vintage Camper, Shasta Compact Garage Kept Since 1972! Retro!
• Vintage Camper Tour, 1...
This is my 1972 Shasta Compact! I have been searching for a vintage camper for a long time and after searching for over six months waiting and have multiple trailers sold out from under me I found the perfect camper! This is an all original 1972 Shasta Compact Camper that has been Garage kept all its life! It is complete down to the smallest detail Now I know what you are all thinking Its ashame that this camper has been inside all of its life and has 2 live outside in the hot sun and the freezing winters But after feeling guilty about that myself it is now safely stored indoors at my storage unit! I cant wit to take this camper out with my family! Me and my mother both love metal detecting and treasure hunting! One of our favorite places 2 search is at a special beach in Delaware and after a good storm there are incredible things 2 be found because of the loss of sand! But right after a big storm it can be tricky to find a place 2 stay so we got this and look forward to all the adventures it will take us on! Thank you guys for watching and I hope you come back to this channel for updates on the camper!

I had one exactly like this color and all. I changed the water pump to electric. The back end wood rotted out from dry rot. It was a wonderful camper. It was turned into a ice fishing house the last I heard. The ice box worked well. Yours is in exceptionally good shape!
Your a very nice young man almost as nice as your trailer lol. This is coming from a 72 year old man that knows there are not many young men like you today. Great Job - Thank You
I'm 15 and I'm obsessed with retro stuff, weather its tech, architecture, furniture and especially the cars. I own a 1970s record player with 1970s headphones and i am hopefully getting a 70s TV this week. I like to buy old stuff to prevent others getting hold of them and ruining them.
In other words I live on the 1950 60s and 70s combined, I forgot to mention I even have a magazine from 1960.
Yeenosaur - that's awesome! Sounds like you've collected some really cool stuff! : )
Yeenosaur the world needs more teenagers like you.
Get r done old school way with wings
Good for guest who comes over
This is cool, I was four years old back then
Growing up in the Bronx, we had a Shasta Compact! My parents used it and all the kids slept in tents. We went all over with that little trailor, had the best times of my life back then. Can still rember all crowding in on really rainy nites.
Can still remember
We had a 67 shasta. Different floor plan. Sold it to upgrade. Wish we still had it. Loved it. Did make some changes for our needs. I still wish we had it. Hindsight 20 20.lol
great little trailer awesome
Wow 10,000 views did not expect that... Sorry about the poor quality I just made this video to show my friends my camper. I think that I am going to make another video with some editing. Thanks for watching!
Your over 135,00 now ... Where you thinking you might get that many at some point ?
I have the 1964 version of your camper. They're the same except mine is red instead of gold/yellow and my wood grain. I love my little camper and have used it for many years. Have fun!
I love how everything is arranged inside. Very cute little trailer! I love the colors and light fixtures. Brings back memories.
Should change ice box to a fridge...closet should convert to a toilet n shower...use space under seats as a closet...lol...nice little camper...get some solar panel... option for of grid
faridah a-hamimed NO! change NOTHING! these were designed as short term campers. 3 to 7 days. electric not meant for fridges. if possible, install a propane unit. otherwise, leave as is. I have used these iceboxes before, and they work well enough for camping. if you want better, BUY better.
faridah a-hamimed good ideas plus check joints regularly by screws as moisture ruins it over time
If you do this... it will completely take away from the value...
It is vintage...
@@gulfrelay2249 Totally agree, that ice box is just fine,put a block of dry ice if your that desperate. Grandma must have only taken that out once every month of Sundays.
If you are not always camping with electric, an ice box is a better choice.
Wow! We had that exact trailer when I was a kid. Dad bought it new at the Shasta dealer and we camped in it that night just for the fun of it. We had some great Summers in that camper. Thanks for bringing back some great old memories.
70's were far better then times of today
U walk in its like stepping into the 70s
I would not touch a thing to 'update'...leave it vintage! :)
I believe that table top is called 'Formica'...which I believe is a laminate of sorts. ;)
Bluessongstress1963 you are correct, that is Formica.
Absolutely
I'm going to refer to this video at the end of my show on my channel as I had one which disappeared and I believe I may have found it in the woods from a satellite image. Thanks for taking us through yours.
WOW! It’s in perfect shape! Talk about a blast from the past! I adore it ❤️
That closet would make a perfect pantry. I just bought a 1974 Cascade camper and I'm getting ready to remodel that I live in it full time it's awesome
Had one in 1972, loved it but when I towed it with a AMC Hornet, 128hp, did okay with tow until I met a big rig, then I basically lost 25-35 miles per hour. Was great with just a small family, my wife and two boys under 6. Plenty room, good in weather, enjoyed it much, but needed A/ c.
What a fabulous find! Original curtains and fixtures?! Pinch me!!😎❤️🍾
Ohhh nice! Same color as our 1975 Shasta renovation we are working on.
❤️thanks for the memories, I grew up camping in one identical to this except the booth bench was set so the whole thing was one big bed.
That is what is known as a gem, a rarity, a once in a very long time find. Nice!
We had this in a different color (maybe blue) and we were just kids but we slept five in this bad boy and loved it! Thanks for sharing..brought back lots of memories!
Quite jealous. That thing is fantastic
these oldies were so simple..not all the gadgetry today which can be a nightmare and costly if something goes wrong...i miss the good ole days..GRATZ AND NICE FIND..CHEERS
I love the original curtains in this. I grew up in the seventies and our kitchen /diner were that colour.
this is a cream puff wow great find
You found a keeper 👍🏻 don’t mess around with it inside , it’s worth more in its original state 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 takes me right back ❤️
She's a Beauty! Have a great time exploring life and making lifetime memories.
I know right !!!! If only I could do it again I would be a lot more adventurous and nicer
Wow 100 views in 3 weeks! That's incredible thank you all!
Sweet!! Hard to believe the original fixtures are all intact...what a find!
That's a nice Shasta camper. I was 10 years old when it was made. All those colors & styles were popular in the 70's.
Very nice young man. I sure hope you keep and enjoy. 👍🇺🇸
That is a great find. I remember back in 1969, my parents borrowed one of these from a friend. My brother and I slept at the dining table beds and my parents and baby sister squeezed up top. It was an epic trip to Canada. I was 5 years old but I remember that trip fondly and seeing this camper again was like a time warp for me. Thanks for posting.
Awesome story thanks for watching!
Thanks for the Tour! I REALLY like that boon docking water pump at the sink! We have an old 1977 Minnie Winnie. We've had a blast in it so far, she's got a few little quirks but who doesn't at that age! ; )
Nice little home on wheels, also very clean and cozy for a rainy weekend! I’d love to have that for a quick getaway!
My family had that, when I was in grade school. I don’t remember the wings on it thought. We had s toilet bucket, it was gross🤣. We used it a lot for going to the beach and across the country to visit our cousins. My Mother loved her tiny kitchen. The stove was great. Mom would put an ice block in the bottom of the fridge that would last at least 3-4 days. Have fun!
You got a crazy awesome find there young man!
I've got my eyes on another camper coming up in a local auction so hopefully I'll have another camper video soon! It's a scotty!
So did you get the Scotty ?
@@jesusischrist1527 The auction is tomorrow. Not sure if u can make it or not. Hopefully yes but probably not.
I have a lot if not all of the trim and mldgs basically all from camper,all shutters wings everything just reply I will get back
You are so stinking lucky, to be owner of this little gem!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I lived in this same trailer, a 1969 model, in Alaska for nearly two years!! never any problems with it, just used a lot of propane keeping warm at 35 degrees below zero! i also had a small generator outside so i could run the lights and use a couple small electric heaters. I sure miss it!!
Great little trailer, in mint condition for being 45 years old.Take good care of it , and it should last you a long long time. You're going to have a lot of fun with it.. If you look for a 1972 tow vehicle Truck or car.. To pair it up with . How Cool would that be , taking to these vintage rallies..The best of luck to you..
Dominick Bundy I agree an an older tow vehicle would be awesome! I was thinking something like an International scout would look really cool! Thanks for watching!
A dream!
This is BEAUTIFUL! Winterizing and keeping these old lovlies in a garage in the winter is essential.
Thanks for the comment! And she has been safely stored indoors and pampered all winter!
this brings back a lot of memories we had one very similar to this camper my mom painted the bold ones on the back upper right corner would have a dent in the side next to the door had a run in with a baseball. the bold ones was a family slogan
Really awesome. So pristine. I love stuff like this.
That’s beautifully preserved.
Awesome little trailer for camping in for a single person
A couple things... First, what is a "Standard 20 volt service?" Also, this thing is beautiful, so don't go modifying it or changing it or you will devalue it permanently. And one last thing, it looks like that because it's been stored all it's life. If you leave it outside, it won't stay that way long. You'll have leaking seams and everything else. I've had several, trust me on this one...
Ok first thing is you caught me with the 20 volt hook up, I ment to say 20 amp Lol. Secondly I am very aware of the value of this camper and im not modifying it in any way because that would be a shame. As for storage it's it being stored indoors and it will remain that way for as long as I own it. I really appreciate the comment and thanks for watching!
Then it sounds like the ol' girl is in good hands. She's lucky to found the right guy... Best of luck!
@@MrMcmars77 , with that said; I now wonder, what is the "ol girls" name?? He got so lucky all the other deals fell thru, funny how that happens.
Time machine to the 70s good luck with that gem of a find
I had one same year but I put a solar panel on top and double paned the windows...
Total Heaven!
Mine also had a shower/toilet closet...I lucked out...looks like you did too...nice trailer!!
Nice buy! Good eye and I love your positive outlook! Have a ton of fun!!
Thanks
I can’t believe what great shape it’s in. Replace curtains with black outs and do minor repairs!
What a great video!
Thank you
I’m looking to buy one that has been restored. I’m planning to live in it full time.
Love the Shasta! Got a pink and white combo one. Wings r my fav.
Hope you enjoy every minute of your time. You picked a outstanding one. Best of luck.
I don't know how much you paid for this camper, but you have a gold mine. It should be as a show camper, not something that you planning on using. Those things are worth a fortune like you have that one there. Wish you the best with that. Have fun. Be safe
Bill Ramsey (
How much are they worth ? I have a 72" Volunteer , 20 ft two tandem all original with the red velvet cushions , solid wood cabinets , counter top , I give 500 dollars for it.
Yep, just needs a shower/toilet and it's even better. What a find!!!
That's so adorable how awesome the condition its in also WOW!!!
You should put a fantastic fan in the place of your vent/skylight. It really is in great shape. Wishing you many happy adventures in your Shasta!
He'd better put some JB Weld on that fan crack or the water will eventually soak the structure around the inside of the fan and his whole roof will rot. At least JB Weld it until he can find a replacement cap. He should check around at some vintage trailer rallies, sites, groups on facebook. Can find tons of replacement parts from originals. Too many people get these little gems and "glamp" them, ripping out all originality. Those people should be shot...keep them vintage as much as possible! How else are future generations going to know what they looked like if we don't keep them original? And I was lucky enough to have been born in 1960 so I was 12 when these came out. I got to see them and enjoy them. I'd like all future generations to experience what I did...I'm glad this youngster is getting that feeling. Its heart warming.
Very cool. Thx for sharing. Idk how this came back up in my recommendations but maybe that means I should invest in one finally, I feel like the vintage campers were so much more like home 😀✌✌👍
I'm about to buy one of these and fix it up. Gonna live on it
Really nice. Right out of the 70ts...Lol it's in mint condition. Thank you for the tour!
My aunt and uncle and their young son had one of these campers with the exact layout. It looks identical to the one they purchased. So cool to go back in time. Great find!
Amazing little trailer...I love the old ones...my Grandmother used to live in a very old Airstream one...I loved visiting her there...when I was growing up and we visited, she always told my Dad (his Mom) that I could sleep with her...I loved my Grandma so much. This little trailer brings back fond memories, not many people your age would be happy to have this and to find it in pretty much pristine condition...great find. I think that tabletop might be formica...they used that a lot for countertops and tabletops back in those days. I'm glad you appreciate a precious piece of history...have fun and enjoy it😊
Blast from the past....Love it !!
Sweet ! that is a rare find.....
bbo40, It sure is.
Wow this camper is still in incredible shape! After giving 140,000 people tours of it you'd think it would show some wear! They just dont make them like they used to! Thanks 4 watching!
Awesome condition!
I love the curtains stove/oven and lamps..
We had a19 foot Shasta when I was a kid. We loved camping in it!
Looks super and 100% Original , that caravan can bring you money , lots of people want to pay a good price for it , keep it clean and dry , if possible.
dutchurbanminer Thanks and I will be babying it and keeping it indoors nice and dry!
I forgot , first thing you Always check when buying an old caravan or rv camptrailer , are the gaps between the roof and sidepanels , no chalk will stay flex and watertight after so many years in rain , snow and sun , if you got no ladder for a first check , look inside the upper closets , closest to the roof , Damp , moist , discoulored ?? thats a warning sign !!!
Thanks for the tip! I plan on replacing some of the culking when it warms up a bit. I purchased some rv seal specifically made for campers. And if I screw up this stuff is supposed to be a lot easier to remove then regular silicone.
"caulking"
Wow. Still in good shape! 💜🌼🌻
I was 2 in 1972! I absolutely love this trailer! How lucky, you found it in such pristine condition! I guess I’m old-school; I’d leave everything as is. I’d leave all original lights and curtains and laminate....colors....everything! Have fun with it!
Cant believe that trailer is 50yrs old.Good shape.
Om gosh. Your camper is wonderful. I'm looking for a vintage camper myself. Found a 1949 canned ham but I wasn't fast enough. 😢 There is an older ladies group with all vintage campers. I've looked on Craig's list and found one last night but no pictures and no way to get in touch with anyone. I know y'all are having a blast in that one. Safe travels and TC 🌷
i lived in the twin to this trailer in Alaska for three years!! loved it, and due to the small size, 10 feet long, it was easy to heat. traveled all over the state with it. when I moved out of state, that was the only thing i regretted having to sell. perfect for one or two people. ron
It's nice to see as young as you are you apreat that year I'm in my fifty's and I was in that type of camper in the 70s to me the 70 and 80s were the best days cars Harley's TV famaly times were better slower so it's great you respect older things just came across your chanal keep it up
Wow! Just gorgeous! Would love to find one like it!
Somone took really good care of this trailer. It's beautiful. You have quite the find! :)
Adorably vintage!
Perfect, less is more I'm looking for the smallest van possible. Love it.
Nice unit. I would leave it as is. Just some cleaning and you have an unique camper.
Love this!
I found a 1971 Kit Rambler all intact too.
Only thing changed was original curtains.
Just bought a 1971 aero flyte, thanks for posting this!!!
That so takes me back dude. It's awesome! Thanks for the video of the rare find!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks 4 watching.
Congratulations on a super cool find! We enjoyed your tour very much.
Cecilia Petrowsky Thanks glad you enjoyed it!
What a great find. Classic good for you. I’m glad to see you appreciate it. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thanks for watching!
Love it. Have fun restoring it.
What a fantastic find, it looks like it's in good condition for its age. You did a great video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks glad you enjoyed!
What other videos do you do? Do you show things that you dig up on the beaches,? That sounds like that would be interesting too.
How much fun! Enjoy your new digs!
Awesome trailer
Love it! Looks pristine.
I just purchased the exact same trailer today! It too is in excellent shape albeit some of the original fixtures are gone. Your video helped me see what needs to be replaced to get it back to its original splendor!! :)
It's beautiful, congratulations
Man, you are so lucky to find this trailer. I must say it is beautiful and so very well kept. I would imagine it was expensive. I love these old type of trailers. I love antiques to.
Thanks for sharing your Shasta find! I love it! We just purchased a 1972 Twilight Bungalow that’s been refurbished and the storage inside is amazing! Just need to figure out where to install a small shower lol!
Wow! Great trailer! Excellent condition!
That's an awesome camper. I'm rebuilding a 67 starflyte. It's a total gut job.
That's awesome! I hope your restoration goes well those starflytes are really cool!
That camper is too cute. Love all of the vintage details that you kept.
