    That is Amazing! Not sure what to call that, but it ain't Camping. (I think you're supposed to suffer to some degree to qualify.)

    It's more "Staying", than, "Camping". :p

    It's a Manor, like ours. They were made from '46-'52. 25', they're a very practical, usable, towable trailer. We tow with our '48 Diamond T pickup, used to with the '51 Pontiac wagon, until it's untimely demise a the hands of a distracted driver, and soon with our new '52 DeSoto wagon.

    What you're doing there is called glamorous camping, or glamping!

    Very cool! Has it been restored or is it all original?

    I'd say more "refurbished" than restored, but it's all new inside. Wiring, plumbing, has a demand hot water heater, inverter, converter, 12V LED lighting, insulation, paneling, cabinetry, and so on. I'm no finish carpenter, but it looks pretty good. We wanted to keep the original "feel", but make it our own. The original stuff was all wasted.

    LOL, "glamping" is a LOT more "from-frou", and involves chalk paint, overdecorating, and LOTS of pink accents and fake flowers. We're not into that, but it's not roughing it.
