DUE TO SPAM NO TEXING.. I WILL NOT REPLY TO TEXS...


I spoke with this gentleman today, and am going to look tomorrow afternoon (Monday) after work. He says the Shasta trailer in the ad seems to be about a 1971, but he had not indicated a model.

He has done some research and has figured out enough to list the door handles and the emblems on ebay, but there are most of the major systems intact. The goodies are amongst his profit margin already, but there may still be some really useful structural parts,appliances, etc.

If anyone is looking for anything in particular, from either of the units, I will try to facilitate getting them if you let me know. He mentioned a price about $75 ea for the refrigerators...(not sure what they are till I get there.), AND sounds pretty reasonable about pricing anything else out.

As ambiguous as this is, I will try to make sure that any useful parts are not lost in the scrapping of the trailers if anyone needs.

Let me know tonight if possible as I will be at work tomorrow from 6A to about 4P and these are 45 minutes away. I'll need to be en route right after work.

Fingers crossed for some good kharma here....Need some after letting the Zipper down....

Hey Chris,

If either have the slide bolts and wall strike plates for a bunk, I would be very interested.

Thanks

Hoping for some good stuff, and a chance at getting it, this is 45 minutes from the house, so may have to take till the weekend to pull parts if he will wait. We'll see I guess.

I will check back in here this afternoon before we leave to look.

NomadicMe I think my 1500 still has the entire bunk hardware in it. I have not gotten that far yet, but I don't think we are going to put the bunk back in so might have a complete setup available it appears that the entire bunk is there but the wood is rotted completly as the hole in the roof was dripping on to the bunk. PM me if interested.

Bill, PM sent.




Hopefully Bill or Chris will "save the day" as I would like to obtain originals if possible but if I'm unable I would consider aftermarket latches.

As I mentioned to Bill, having to scrunch at the table is very uncomfortable.


Has anyone used any like these?

Update:

@nomadicme... I checked for those bunk latches but it did not appear to have any..

I got to look at the trailers on Tuesday. Since then I've been battling with a horrible cold, and have not done much besides THINK about the trailers....talk about a sickness...I though the "fever" was from the opportunity, but the "fever" never had the bad cough with it before.

The 20' Wilderness trailer was a great candidate for what it is going to become...a car-hauler. It is a spacious camper and was a beast in its day, but it is falling down now. It has the fridge (Dometic propane/elec combo I think) and the 4-burner stove and oven in it, a propane heater with a blower fan in it, Must have had ducting; along with signs of a few other old amenities. I didn't spend a lot of time with it, but the owner says it has a composting toilet in it...

The Shasta is going to be tough to tear into. It is by far the most solid one I have seen that is destined to be torn down yet. Not even dings in the skin...

The owner has figured out how valuable things like the Bargman door handle and the emblems and goodies are on eBay... There are a few fairly minor things missing. It would break some hearts to hear his story regarding the wings...so I won't tell it here.



It is a 1971 Starflyte, dual-axle (which is why he won't part with the chassis). I think these were 19' or so.

Aside from the goodies and the vent door for the fridge, it was all here. I would still love to talk him into selling the whole thing for a project...but can't afford to buy it myself anyway. I almost think that if I could offer a replacement for the frame and chassis, for his build project, he might consider it.

I got so far as asking about keeping the aluminum from it when he is ready to knock it down. The siding pattern is the same as my Compact. He offered to cut the cabin loose and sell me the whole thing..."Sling it with the backhoe and load it on a trailer if ya want..." As tempting as that is, I think $400 would be a little stiff for a cabin that probably would not ride home in one piece if it were cut loose. I got dibs on most of the utilities anyway, and like I say it is mostly all there. This one had the wet bath, pump system with a good-sized plastic holding tank, water heater, propane/elec fridge, four-burner stove, and a lot of mouse leavings...in case anyone has a shortage of that.
