Trailer: Compact Jr 1973
Posts: 41
This 1973 Compact Jr was bought in Goldendale, WA in Sept 2007. It's not even been a year yet, but its coming along. Unique and different...we thought we'd bring it back to life with a little pizazzz! It was completely stripped down to the shell and the frame and repainted, including the bottom half in the tough material used as a bedliner in pickup trucks called Line X. (chocolate brown in color) New floor was installed too and Marty repacked the bearings. (The interior is still a secret.) Based on the theme from Scooby Doo: this Compact JR is sure to catch your eye while rolling down Oregon Hwys or while you a strolling through the campground. Introducing the MYSTERY MACHINE!

More pictures are soon to follow featuring the interior...and the fun graphics on the exterior to follow the Scooby Doo theme!


We were unable to bring the CJ to the Oregon Gathering this year, but we will be there next year!
I think someone said that it was "butt ugly" when they saw pictures of it at the Oregon Gathering, but we have become really be fond of this little project on wheels. Our neighbors are watching with interest as we pull it out of the garage on weekends and work on it.

And [b]that is all that matters. I've done somethings to my trailer that others may not like or want for themselves... but who cares... it's MINE.

I can't wait to see more than pictures!

Truth be told- I can't either!
The sooner it's done the sooner we can take it on the road!

Some people have no sense of fun. I think it's a great paint scheme!

Hurry up and finish, so we can see the inside!
