Sweet! So great to see this beauty restored instead of junked! What an incredible job! Yes, would have loved to seen more pics of the inside! My husband and I bought an old 1968 Shasta (it is a little bigger than yours). We probably paid a little too much for it but the elderly gentlemen selling it was very ill (hooked up to oxygen) and my husband felt sorry for him. Brought it home did some repairs and reconfiguration of the sleeping arrangements. We take her to the Outer Banks fishing. Luv it!
People complain about family photos? Don’t they understand a camper is about family and making memories, especially when you can restore one together like you’ve done! I’m about start a resto on the same camper. Thanks for the inspiration, great job!
Wow, what a transformation. Thanks for sharing it. I'm getting ready to buy a 1978 camper which the owner advertised as being in clean condition. I guess we'll see. Excited to renovate it. Yours is inspiring.
Thanks Jake. I found this little camper next to a barn where it had been fro the past 22 years, and my wife just had to have it. So, with much love and attention it was transformed into a better camper than it was when it was new!! We just love it. Thanks for looking.
Incredible, BigTex. I've been dreaming of a cowboy themed remodel, but I don't think I'll be able to do it as well as you did! Thanks for taking all the time to share your craftsmanship and imagination!
I have one just like it.! I have been searching for informaiton on the make and model for the past 2 years and have had no luck. I am so excited, I started to restore it a month ago and founf thew name FLEETWING in the inside wall, but that was all I had to go by. I will post pics once I it all finished. Thanks for sharing your project that is a big help.....
Big Tex347, thank you for sharing "a dream come true" of yours with such creativity that includes the family. Your video is awesome and had my emotions running high. My father had purchased a small ttrailer way back in the early 70's when I was 10, and he took the whole family(9 of us)on all types of camping trips in the little fellow! Sure, we were embarrassed then, but grateful now, because my siblings and I now laugh and laugh of our memories til the day(45yrs later)!! PRICELESS. Thank you for reminding me of "family", may you and your family makes countless memories...
Thanks for taking a look at our camper restoration video. This little camper was parked beside a barn for 22 years when I found it. Needless to say, it was quite a challenge to get the job totally done. But it was well worth it and we still enjoy using it today. Best of luck on your own project if you are restoring a vintage trailer - we get lots of looks and plenty of visitors wherever we take it! Cheers.
Thank you for posting this great video. I have just acquired a small camping trailer myself almost in the same condition as yours was. I just replace the old axle with a new updated axle which raised the trailer up to my truck level. Now comes the actual work on the trailer starting with the inside. I haven't gutted it out yet but that will be step one.
Hello MontiR Aruba ----- Good luck with your camper project. I had my doubts about restoring this one but it took about 3 months of non-stop work and it was done. We use it all the time and people just seem to love it when they see it at the camp ground or even when we're pulling it down the road. Please post a video of your camper - I'd love to see it.
BigTex347 Oh, thanks for responding. My camper is about the size of yours and I think a lot of people are starting to like these small gems. Especially of the early years. And when they are restored, people see them and notice them. Many are used to seeing the large 23 footers and toy-haulers and then once in a while they see small ones like yours and mine; especially when they are restored. I keep an eJournal of my project with photos and videos. So yeah, I will post them when the project is done. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hello Fort Wilderness Ricky - Thanks for the kind words about my camper restoration video. This was my first attempt at any posting on TH-cam, and it was really meant for family and friends to have a look at what we were doing with the camper. I had no idea what I was doing when I made this video, but it is what it is! And yes, the kids are grown - one is 24 and married - the other is almost out of high school. We've had a blast over the years in this little camper. I'm currently restoring a 1965 Airstream. I'll post a video about that restoration as soon as I get enough pictures and progress made! Thanks
You did an amzing job on this! WOW! It's actually larger than some NYC apts that sell for a half a million dollars. ;) The music with the lighted flamingo's out front made the night scene real for me. :D Enjoy!
Hello lalunette-----------> Thanks for taking a look at me camper restoration video. I replaced everything under the camper just because of the age (1970), as well as the floor, walls, ceiling, all insullation, replaced all working components in the loueved windows, installed the air conditioner, and the list goes on and on. The camper restoration made this little camper better than it was when it was brand new! Everything is re-inforced and made to last. It was truely a labor of love!!!
Oh sure, it's easy when you're married to a beautiful woman who happens to be an interior decorator. Go ahead, rub it in. Nice job. Beautifully finished. By brother has ceiling tiles like that in his home. My dad removed them from the old school house he converted into my childhood home. They're made of a relatively soft tin-like metal. Beautiful. A treat of a video. A family story in addition to being a documentary of a rebuild. And the music was wonderful. Best wishes to you and your family.
I had to come back and watch this again... I am refurbishing a 1972 Vintage Travel Trailer, thinking it is overwhelming, then I watch this video and SEE how you started out with a lot more problem than me. YOU give me hope... I'm so proud of this video for you... Thank you for sharing ... Question: Where did you get the Celling Tiles?
Carmine and Round Top are both beautiful little towns! I am from Fayetteville which is about 10 miles from carmine.... Just sold an off grid solar travel trailer I built myself... I'd love to do something like this!
What a great job you all did!! It IS a beauty indeed!! New subscriber and also a brand new owner of a very large motor coach as well!! I have a large amount of respect for bus drivers as well as large coach drivers in general!! LOL!! I drove mine yesterday...hubby said I did great as did the two sales people!! It was a "wow" factor for me,but I will get there in due time!! I will say that I love the "Flips" or renovations that people out here do on trailers/campers/RV's etc!! Amazing beautiful hard hard work!! Great job to every single one of you!! Yours is fantastic and I love the "theme" in your trailer as well!! Love it!! Looks comfy and like home should look like too!!
Wow! looks fantastic, great job. hope yall have enjoyed it. I think i will actually go and see about finding one of these little ones. you have inspired me
Really cool work! Themed campers are awesome! I'm working on a 68 forester 14 footer right now that I'm not sure what the theme will be but I hope it turns out as nice as yours. Thanks for posting. Mick.
What a great restoration, your video was excellent, I usually don't like videos that are made with stil photos, i watched the whole thing, great music too, made me a subscriber.
Thanks for the kind review of or little camper. The ceiling tiles were recovered from an 1880s house and we decided that they would work great in the camper. My wife put a faux finish on them (silver) and they worked out great. They are actually some kind of tough paper composit material that was pressed into a mold. They are not metal. anyway, they look great. Thanks again.
Hello Paigenmarc-------> We are in Montgomery, on lake Conroe. The camper is here for now, but it 's real home is on our ranch in Blanco County just the other side of Austin. We were a member of Sisters on the Fly for one year, but never did anything with them. Ours is a family camper so Sisiters didn't appeal to us that much. We usually take it to Dixieland RV Park in Carmine, TX during Round Top weekend twice a year and we take it to Canton (First Monday) about every other month. We love it!!
Hello KhmerBoy82297-------------> Thanks for responding to my camper video. We had the outside painted by a professional paint shop in Montgomery, Texas. It was preped and painted in a professional paint booth and sprayed with several coats of clear. I drew out the pait design on a napkin while flying from Texas to Washington state. I took it to the painter and asked if he could paint the camper black and silver using this kind-of lightening bolt design. He taped it off and the rest is history!
Awesome job. Beautiful inside + out. Looks like it's brand new. Love the music, made me laugh. I'm in the process of building a home made "canned ham" camper from scratch. Maybe we can camp together some day.
Hello FordRVRefrigeration----> Thanks for posting . . . We are taking this little camper out this coming weekend in Central texas and we plan to have a great time in it. Thanks again.
Hello Echosshop----------> Thanks, we absolutely enjoy every minute of it. I get loads of people looking at the camper everywhere we go. It's truely an eye-catcher. Thanks again.
C Davis Thanks for watching our camper restoration video. I made this video 5 years ago and I really didn't know too much about how to make videos back then - so, it is what it is. If I was going to re-do this video (and I might), I would do a new and improved version, This video was really intended for our family to enjoy, but it got put out on TH-cam and there you have it. We love this little camper - I took 3 months off from work in order to work on the restoration daily. Thanks again.
this gives me inspiration i bought my 71 shasta almost the same even shape as this camper and even the windows are alot the same so a real nice job congratz and thanks for your vid upload nice
Hello al corder -----------> Thank you for taking a look at my camper restoration video. YES!!! ABSOLUTELY!!!!! You have to convince you husband that you need a tiny camper like ours. It is a BLAST!!! We get looks and comments wherever we go - it is so much fun to use. People just can't get enough of it - I was so surprised - and continue to be so surprised at the amount of attention it gets. Everyone wants to look inside and we are very proud to show it off to whoever wants to look. GOOD LUCK!
Top Job Mate, I have recently gained a 15 ft caravan, settling a debt that was worrying a farm neighbor more than me. Friend ship is now 'All Good'. So what do I do with a late 1960 caravan, one side serving a a vertical garden of mold for decades! Searching the internet, plenty of (respectfully) 'girlie theme renovations' out here. Yet I had wanted to create some solitary 'bloke space' and this, your video provides me with hope and ideas. A next summer season of solitary and remote area work for me is almost signed off on. Working roles as 'forester and stockman (Australian for Cow Boy)' ; I have previously slept most comfortably in a swag, (bed roll), in the corner of shearing or hay sheds, under the ute / truck etc. Who knows; It may be before next fall, I will be 'glamping' on sites, yippy ie kia! Ghost Riders was my fathers' crew theme music while serving in Vietnam. I crew up attending BBQ, where physically strong and tough men, mentally and emotionally hard as iron, were crying when every the song was played. Typically put on by a 'good wife'. Goodie recognizing that some peaking of 'fight or flight' was apparent among the blokes, crew, team. Hearing 'Ghost Riders' now, I also 'cry' , both for and with them. Crikey I have seemingly written a 'blog of my own'. Learning to 'touch type' , saving me a need to most rely on staff to formally communicate, seemed a good idea at the time ? Retired from my own life of service, 'dogs, cattle and the deep forest' are my own sanctuary, safe space. That little 'ham can' of yours will have an echo in a far away land. Under ancient canopy of trees, that would seem most foreign even prehistoric to Your family, same ferns, shrubs, tussock grass the dinosaurs waked among, under tall eucalyptus , incredibly hard wood species. The 'beef cattle' , here about are not unlike those best breed to fit Texas conditions. The Kings Ranch Texas developed, Santa G (Brahman x English Beef Red Short Horn) is paralleled here in development and timing as the 'Beef Master', (Brahman x English Beef Red Short Horn x English Beef Devon cattle). Similarly both Braford and Brangus cattle are developed independently and at similar time, Texas and Australia, (cattle blah blah) Cheers mate and Thank You BigTex347
Hello Countrycanbinlover4---> Oh my . . .I hope that you have as much fun as we did restoring our camper. Of course, about half way through we sat in a shell-of-a camper and looked at each other like we were nuts to try to do this on our own. . . but, we never gave up and eventually (3 months later) we had a little beauty of a camper. Good luck!!!

What a great story.. I shed a tear for the old camper. She is happy now.
Great job!!
Awesome video! Great pics from uncovering the tomb, restoring and family photos enjoying the build. That’s what matters most. Thanks for sharing.
Nice job, great to see a old camper made new again.
That's what its all about. And the camper turned out sweet. Good job guys.
Thanks Jake. I found this little camper next to a barn where it had been fro the past 22 years, and my wife just had to have it. So, with much love and attention it was transformed into a better camper than it was when it was new!! We just love it. Thanks for looking.

Simply Awesome !! Better than new....A wonderful restoration. The whole family looks so happy. Congrats to you.
Very cool project. I see little run down campers like this all the time. Might try to pick one up some day.

Tex, that little trailer is so nice, it's riducluous. Thanks for sharing

Beautiful Restoration - Lovely Family- Great Music. Hope Your Family Has Many Healthy, Happy Year's To Enjoy Your Effort.
Wonderful job restoring this small beauty! Loved the video, restorer's and mini-restorer's!
Great video! Thanks for sharing! Just picked up a little gem of a camper for our family...we can't wait to take it out!
Great Job! I loved watching your video. My hubby & I restored a 30' travel trailer and we had so much fun doing it and taking it out on trips. TFS.
Amazing! Not many would have even given it a chance and you loved it right into being a little gem.
Great bg music haha. Getting motivation and seeing what others are goin through gives me more confidence to start my project. Thank you.
Great job on the resto....main thing is the family was involved and will remember those times and the travel for the rest of their lives. very cool.
Thank you for giving that little camper a second chance!
Great looking little camper. Love to see them being saved

Loved the video, the music and the family pictures. Great memories!
So cute!! I love how you added your own personality to the camper. Love it!! If only I could convince my husband to take on such a project :)
Bloody fantastic mate, best I have seen, because I am a Saddlemaker and cowboy, I love the inside of this van .
Cool video. I just bought a small popup camper, and am going to restore it. You gave me a couple of ideas.
