Not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this but it came with some property I bought and I have no use for it.  Located in southwest Virginia.

Franklin still makes trailers today, and is still owned by the same family. That actually has some pretty desirable features--the combo of vintage details (wood interior, gas lamp, etc.) and a bathroom are pretty rare on a camper this old. That one probably dates to the early '60s (jalousie windows, toilet type, appliance color). Looks complete, but obviously in need of total restoration. You'd do well to post it up on Tin Can Tourists (classifieds are free if you register) and Vintage Camper Trailers (also, I believe, free to registered users). There's probably somebody looking for a project who would snap it up. Figure Challenge pricing.

Thank you Marjorie, that was very helpful!  I've really enjoyed your camper restoration project.

Any animals living in there?

That one drawer especially...

And to the OP, thanks! Here's a recent camping trip--even though our friends have a big class A (and he's 6'3") we always end up hanging in the Shasta. It's super comfy and lends itself well to hospitality.

Damn, I live in VA and that thing is still ~5 hours away.

Nothing currently active right now but plenty of evidence of past occupation.  That could change at any time though.

I can't help you with the camper, but I am curious about the Coleman camp oven that's on top of the stove.  I would take that off of your hands if it's in decent shape.

I looks like the camper has found a new home.  I pulled the Coleman oven out.  It looks to be in decent shape but the box is trashed.  I'll send it to you if you pay for shipping.  You can contact me at doctoma106 at the yahoo to make arrangements if you still want it.
