Pictures look great - trailer looks in nice shape for you to add your personal touches. Have fun and keep us informed! ;)

Roomy little sucker. :) I like. Did you tell us how big it is? I don't remember. I like that rear door. I think I saw one of these before I knew what fiberglass trailers were and was looking at aluminum. Terrible to think I might have missed one of these.

I'll have to check the dimensions and get back to you. I haven't a clue!

Unless I am mistaken - the total length of any TT is from the tip of the hitch to the back of the trailer (therefore my 21.5 Bigfoot is actually only about 19 feet.) - make sure you include that.

Wow. You all really know what you're talking about! I'd have just measured the exterior dimensions of the "box".

The box is 6 feet wide and 10 feet long. If you add the hitch it's 6 feet by 13 feet. Anticipating that someone will ask (I'm catching on to you guys) the height with the top popped is about 7.5 feet, and all closed up it's about 6.5 feet.

I'm really impressed with that large storage area just past the stove and sink..... Wow! shelves and all.......;) ;) ;)

Pete ... I'm not looking at the storage ... I'm looking at the stove ... in a 13 foot trailer no less! Dang, I hope my wife doesn't see this!

Suzy ... even if the stove doesn't work, it should be easy for you to find a "plug and play" new oven/stove top. Looks to be standard size dimensions.

Ok, so we've decided ... no body tell Pam you can fit an oven in a 13 foot trailer ... and M-Suzy is in charge of cooking pizza at some future North American Fiberglass RV rally.

Suzy,

You did good! Glad to know your husband is pleased. Would love to see one in person.

Is that a dimmer switch on the wall next to the fridge?

I am impressed at what they have packed into your unit, without the cluttered or forced look. Very thoughtful in concept and execution.

Not only that but you have a whole trailer to play with. Have fun, I will catch up with you over a campfire somewhere, Fx.

MontanaSuzy, your C-Jr. trailer reminds me of the first molded fiberglass travel trailer we ever looked at, Lite House, manuf. near Albuquerque, NM. It had the rear door, with dinette/bed at the far end. The Lite House, though, didn't have your trailer's other amenities. (It was a 13 footer, so the box must've been more like 10 ft.) The real stove with oven is impressive! You get to do the turkey at any Thanksgiving rallies!

Congrats on your find!

Boy, I'm feeling smug, and very lucky, to have had the opportunity to get this trailer. Yes, it's a dimmer switch next to the fridge. It works the lighting over the table. And yes, that's an oven you see. I was thinking I might try brownies in it this weekend!

Last night we started cleaning. Yuck. I've never seen so many pails of brown water go down the drain. For now I think we'll clean and maybe give it some fresh paint inside. My sweetie is really hot to tear it apart and rebuild all the cabinetry and beds. It looks like what's in it is someone else's re-model, and it's really quite sloppy. So we may have a big winter project. Good thing we have a heated garage.

Suzy,
Do you happen to have any pics of how the pop-up is latched to the top? Also, are your windows screwed into a wooden frame? Pics would be great. My 71 Astro had a very similar layout when I got it and I'm trying to get some ideas for the re-build.

Thanks,
Liz
