Love the cupholder couch I bet there is a bong hidden away in there somewhere... If so then it is worth at LEAST half the asking price...

vintagetrailertalk.freeforums.net/thread/31/shasta-16sc-second-generationBeyond the great (professionally done, I am sure)duct-tape upholstery repair, the groovy 70's vibe, the thumping bass, and the buddy-system potty closet, this is not a horrible starting price point for one that is obviously going to be a full-on restore job, if all the usual points of papers and solid trailer framing is in order. I do wish they had not focused quite so much on that beautiful pleather, and gotten a photo of the dinette end.

Just needs a little elvbow grease and it's ready to camp in this weekend! Actually, Chris is right. It is a decent starting place. Although the gaucho has been replaced by that adorable (and functional) faux leather sofa/cup holder combo, and the nightstand by a comfy chair (must be where mom sits when she's encouraging her little one to use the potty), the bases for those are still intact. It has a newer refrigerator, the original stove (looks in good shape), the quilted surround for the stove looks good, too, and even the Formica might be salvageable. There is only one exterior picture, but I don't see any sagging at the front or on the sides and the visible skin is in good shape. So the skins need lifting for whatever frame repair needs doing. I don't think you can strip the paint from those cupboards, but they could be nice with a decent coat of paint and real birch paneling. Add a nice floor, all new electrical and plumbing, and about $1500 in upholstery work, and voila, a very decent vintage trailer. Probably for around $6k. Add a professional paint job and it should still come in at less that $8k. Heck, show up with $200 in one pocket and $200 in the other and see what happens. Is this a mid-60s model? Toilet, but no shower? Jalousie windows? With everything else such a mess, it's hard to tell.

I think this one should check in around '65 or '66, the "spear-stripe" usually means '65-'68, prior to the gold-stripe models. The 16SC went to the gold stripe in about '69. The brochure mentions the butane refrigerator, marine-type toilet and extra-large septic holding tank, but nothing about a shower. Judging by the exterior in the brochure, there is venting for the refrigerator, but none obvious for a water heater. Jalousie windows were in pretty much everything from 1960 on, up to about the 1970 model year, when they started using the two-panel awning windows.
Okay, enough of that...back to beating up on the stylish design of the '70s cupholders!

That chair by the potty is a gaming chair. So the parents probably got sick of hearing Call of Duty all the time and stuck them in the Shasta LOL.

I think they are for sitting in while eating your TV dinners off the TV trays, playing video games in black and white.
(Holy "deja vu", Batman!!.....)
