So my wife and I did a thing...

We decided that we wanted to restore/rebuild a vintage camper trailer. We set out not really knowing a whole lot about them other than they were really cool and we would have fun making one our own. So, after a few days of searching, we came across this native Texas trailer - a 1969 Mobile Scout Model 17 (we believe).

It is always hard to tell what you are getting into until you put your hands on something. Well, we decided to go have a look. This was the first thing we saw when we pulled up.


You could see the age written all over her. Sun faded and not very pretty! However, once we got to look more closely we fell in love!



The interior is completely original and all intact! There are water stains in some areas, indicating leaks that may or may not be active, but overall, very solid camper and for the price, we couldn't resist. We brought her home right away!

Stay tuned for more details of our adventure with this Mobile Scout!
