Here's some pictures of a Burro I bought from the Marine Base in North Carolina along with a Scamp..They were a package deal...A couple seen some pictures I had posted somewhere on the internet, I don't really remember where.. but they saw all these setting in my yard in the picture and drove from Memphis to buy one..I wasn't really wanting to sell any at the time but they talked me into selling them the Burro before I had completed it..They e-mailed me later on telling me they had finished the camper and told me how they had traveled all over the US through the South west up through the far Northwest into Oregon and Washington state and back......

This is a picture of the Scamp that came with the Burro, I redone it and sold it to a nice couple from Louisville Ky. They were down here visiting friends saw my campers in the yard and the husband would stop by every day for 5 days until I sold him this one just before they returned home..Later he called me and said they were going to go up through Canada in it..don't know how they did never heard from them again heck who knows they may still be up there somewhere

Didn't get a chance to take pictures of it completed I guess I've looked and can't find any..

This is pictures of my very first camper completed and ready to go ..Bought those spoked wire rims off e-bay for around $60 and the first time I carried it out I went to Kansas Pheasant hunting and they both came off the sucker crossing the Mississippi river bridge in Memphis

Bought a set of White Spoked Rims from Scamp after that....Camera dates are wrong says Feb. and the trees are green or it maybe Sept. 2

Nice Randy ,,Thanks again for the pics,,,Ron

Bought this one from the Sheriff's dept. in St. Louis Mo. strange thing about this one was it came with a 1966 Title and Scamp didn't start building them until the early 70's just shows you what a Cheif of Police can get accomplished in a pinch

Turned out to be a 84 model...Fixed this one up, sanded it down and repainted it off white and sold it to a eldery gentleman who live's just about 6 miles away he installed lift-up windows in the sides and carries it hunting..He parks it along big fields, has a speaker on top, and plays DVD's that calls in predators, then shoots them out the windows....Says he has a great time doing it....I would have thought the white camper would spook them but I guess not................

This is what the camper I use most of the time looked like when I first got it..Since then I put in a new refrigerator, new hardwood floor, new upholstery, new curtains, new wiring, new lights, cut and extended the tongue and installed a diamond plate box on the front for folding chairs and such and a rack on each end to haul my canoe....Last couple are of it finished,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Here's one I sold to couple just north of Knoxville, Tn. they were some nice people too and was really happy with it when they left....I sewed the new cushion covers in this one also and installed the curtains and hardwood floors..The cabinets were blue when I bought it and the air conditioner was already installed in the back...

Randy Bishop · 04-05-2011, 02:26 PM

The only 16'er I've owned took a long time to sell it, the others people were coming by every day trying to get'em...

Randy Bishop · 04-05-2011, 02:35 PM

Oh! I almost forgot to post pictures of the one I sold "SUGERMC" who's a member on here..Well this is the one she bought from me and restored.. I've watched her post pictures as she worked on it and she done a great job and she seemed to have had a great time doing it....I hope so

Nice Randy,,,thanks for shareing the pics,,,,Ron PM sent

Nice pix! Glad to see they are all being used and not sitting, lonley waiting for adventures. How often do all 4 Trills get to go together with your entire family? That would be a cool profile pix, all of them at a campground together. Your own mini Rally, lol.

I'd sell them to loving families who would treasure them rather than rent them out to people who may trash them. I've seen what folks do to stuff that isnt theirs or even things that were theirs but that were given to them etc so they had no vested interest in them and trashed them. Vehicles, furniture, bikes, homes etc.

Yea that's what I'm afraid of someone trashing one and me going off the deep end on some fool..
