My Summer Project

***Update: A big thanks to my Dad, who did a little research for me and discovered that my camper is a 1965 Cardinal. We found some really neat pictures online that show what it originally looked like, which will be a big help to me when I design a new sleep space inside. Thanks, Dad!

Remember this post? I seriously cannot believe this, but I am the proud new owner of a sweet, 10' vintage camp trailer!


I am madly in love with it, and could hardly sleep last night, as my mind was spinning with all that I want to do to it. It is in great shape, but still needs a lot of work to get it to where I want it to be. I've already done some major scrubbing, but the real work will have to wait until we return from vacation. I'm not positive, but I think that is is a 1965 Safari. Still need to do a bit more research to be sure. Be prepared to see a bunch more posts about my camper restoration!

I agree I was telling Stevan about it and I said I give Heather a month and I'll bet it's the cutest camper you've ever seen. You are so good at this stuff! So happy for you Heather! Can't wait to see it.

Kate, I will totally take you up on that offer. You can make us a couple of matching sleep caps to wear.
