Very cool to have the originals, I'm going to print these out on some funky paper and show them when I enter ours in the Kelowna Fathers Day car show. I think folks will really like to see a vintage trailer along with all the hot rods, vintage and muscle cars.
Nice!

I have the cover of the instructions, no instructions themselves, and also the care and maintenance sheet. I'll try to scan and post the other original paperwork I got with my 64.

Hi all,
I'm looking for any literature, catalogs, original paperwork or anything else related to my 59 Airflyte. I'd like to have something that shows the original specs, especially the weight. Can anyone help me out? Thanks

I have an ad that came in our '64 for various gadgets to use while camping. One was a phone to that enabled passengers in the trailer to communicate with the passengers in the tow vehicle.

Shastasailor: That is sort of hilarious and also very scary! Can you imagine putting someone back in the trailer for the ride?? "Just hold on for the bumps, honey. And if you're bored, can you fix me a sandwich and I'll pull over to get it?"
Yikes!

I can't remember when they outlawed that but it was surprisingly recent. Not 2 years ago but a lot sooner then you would think. If you have access to a scanner I would love full scans of this for the forum. Let me know if you can do that. Brian

What would we do without this forum? I thought that I was going to have to rebuild my Saniware (toilet) because the water kept running after a flush. Turns out I have to turn the water off after 3 qts have filled the bowl. I thought that there was a problem with a sticking valve or leaking seal.
Thanks Atomic!

Brian...what model 1964? Or are the owner's manuals the same for all 1964 Shastas? I just purchased a 1964 Compact and have no paperwork. Thanks for posting! Lisa

Lisa-
This was in my 16SC but it is the same version for all Shasta models of this period. They didn't do different ones for different models (to my knowledge).

This material looks identical to what I have for my 1961 Compact. What amazes me is how simple and general the information is. I'm guessing a modern third wheel comes with a thick instruction book (in 6 languages!) most of which would be devoted to all kinds of towing warnings, cautions, notes, and disclaimers.

Every bit of information is great for me. I got my Compact recently and it had everything torn out in the front. I found a guy that used it just for storage of his 2000 duck and goose decoys. He bought it at an auction for $100, but without a title. At the time it did have valid Illinois license plates so I will be able to search out the last owner of record and get a title.
Oh! The gas lamp was still mounted, but without the glass. Everything else was gone in the front. It has a lot of damage where the things were torn out, but is all fixable. If I can find things I would need, that is. So far I can olny guess at the year model. The VIN plate is so damaged that is is completely unreadable. From what I have found it is a 69 model made in Indiana. I just need so much on it, though.

Dave, the fun thing about your Compact is that you get to reimagine it. There is an amazing array of things you can do in just 10 feet. Look around here and you will see some of them. People have: - removed the stove and replaced with a microwave or just more cupboards.
- put a two-person dinette up front, moved the kitchen to the side and put a full-time bed in the back.
- replaced the paneling in the toaster-style models with birch.
- removed the upper icebox/fridge in the newer model and moved it back under the sink.
- turned that large closet into a toilet and sometimes shower room.
- put flip up doors on the upper cupboards.
- turned the table and benches into a full time bed.
- put flat screen TVs in all sorts of places.
- painted the inside in any number of interesting colors and designs.
Please note that Hamlet doesn't think ALL of these are great ideas, but they are all things that Compact owners have done. The mini table and benches up front is probably the most original re-do we've seen, just can't remember where.

My favorite is page 4 under the heading "Finally". Some things just don't change in all those years.

Dave, the fun thing about your Compact is that you get to reimagine it. There is an amazing array of things you can do in just 10 feet. Look around here and you will see some of them. I am thinking of keeping it close to one of the floor plans that were original for this. I have the full wardrobe instead of the half, and also have the drop down bunk. I did manage to find a refrigerator, but have not found a sink or counter. I would like to also get the range, but for now I do have a microwave sitting on a cabinet. With everything having been torn out, I will need to get a water tank, and flush toilet, then rebuild as it was. I intend to put in another table with the floor mount as it was before as well. I will make new cushions for the lower bed/ bench seat. An ambulance cot mattress will work for one side bench over the wheel well next to the wardrobe, but on the other side I have already built an additional storage cabinet. A flat screen TV will mount on a swing above that cabinet. A 19 in fits nicely there, and can be turned to be seen at any point in the room. These things I can do during this winter. The rest outside will have to wait until warmer weather. Dave.
