1955(?) Pathfinder. Pretty decent shape except the crappy latex house paint and someone replaced the kitchen part. Doing some cleanup on propertys for the guy in trade.

Doesn't look bad at all.

The kitchen part isn't original so I'll be thinking of ideas to at least get rid of the orange pieced together backsplash and counter top. The 70s range top and refrig probably need to go also.
Any good ideas on how to strip the paint?

That is very cool. Something about little trailers that just look like fun to me. Not bad condition at all from what I can see.

Here's a new twist. I've made a deal with the owner to clean up, prep and sell about a dozen more of these old trailers. He used to pull them all down by the river and rent them out during the Sturgis rally. He has some pretty cool ones, a Shasta or two, one with wings, a couple Aloha's, Yellowstone, Linwood. Quite a few from the 60s that are pretty decent too. There's also a Spartan Manor but some guy bought it and never came back.

That's an awesome find. That spartan manor would be awesome! But the Yellowstone can be pretty cool too, they had one that looked like. Mini gooseneck that I have always liked.

He's not done yet...
Nice little camper..... Much nicer than mine. Would really like to find something like that.

Motor mouth ratchet jaw!
when those are restored/cherried out. they are so cool
i'd like to get one and make it as close to factory as possible.
my pet peeve with old trailers is windows that dont work right.
opening a window is one of the first things a person tries to do when they walk in one of them.
and if that is jacked up
it kinda ruins the experience.
but if you can get the attention to detail down pat
they are such a fun little thing

When you get them fixed up post them on here, I'm sure a lot of the guys will be interested. Some of us would be interested in fixer uppers also.

He had a lady coming today and it sounds like she is taking the Yellowstone. It is a really cool canned ham but pretty rough. Lots of hail dings on the door side and water damage in the rear. I was kind of hoping to try a full resto on it because it's small. I think that leaves 17 of them. Some will sell as is but they are the 60s ones.
