what is it and is it worth pursuing??

[hotrod]

heres one sitting abandonded.. might be able to pick it up for little or nothing.. so how bad off do you think it is??? What make?
weve been considering a scamper but Im an old car nut and it just wouldnt be right.. This floats my boat......

[hotrod]

just looking at the pic... i think it can stay right there..

Paul,

You may be on the right track...

There are better projects out there that don't need full rebuilds...

Rob

[Zollinger]

Paul, it might have a few good parts, but thats about it.

[hotrod]

wish I had it new

[Gage]

Well Paul. If it's free and you have room and time, get it. From the picture, like Rob says, it'll be a complete rebuild. Be a good learning project and probably take a couple of years.

[hotrod]

I thin ill call it a 1959 leaverite......gonna leaverite there.....
funny tho, this is an old campground with a slug of seasonal campers that never move I did a good walkabout this fall and there are several vintage canned hams etc around there.

Yep, it will be a labor of love to save the old vintage trailer from demise. Building a new trailer from scratch would certainly be a lot easier.

It kinda looks like an old Bellwood to me:

If it is a real bargain it would make a great build platform for a custom build.

The frame would make it a bargain and any salvage is just gravy.

[hotrod]

so many ways to look at this.. I think Im going to look more tho...
thanks! Bellwood eh? good looking trailer in its day...

[john curtis]

Like Gage said if its free go for it.It is a pretty cool looking trailer.
