I don't buy that many antiques any more-- a consequence of clutter is that you realize how bad many such decisions are-- but when this came up for only $6,000 (very cheap for what it is, and it'll be very useful and fun), I could not resist:

Wow, it's like a step back in time. What will you do with it?

Use it, of course. It needs rewiring and some work with the toilet and stove, and maybe a little more, and that's on its way to being done, but it's not that much, and then it'll be perfectly useable. Both the sofa and the dinette turn into beds. Travel trailers in general are a great camping accessory, and not expensive.

Jay Leno took the camera on a tour of a couple of these things (one the larger Model A; the second is, like mine, a Model B) at the Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance in 2010, and posted the video on his website.

Going over to look. I love campers, especially ones with atmosphere.

What did you think?

Being a fan of both trailers and Pierce-Arrow cars, I approve. :)
