I try to get to Indiana every year (Clayton area). We like pictures, feel free to give us the play by play.

Hi. I am mati. Going to loom at a trillium 1300 early 70s.

Searching for inspection tips. Real good price (9500) seems to be good condition.

Excited to join the club if trailer is in decent shape.

Hi!
I just bought my first trailer! It’s a 1991 19ft Scamp. I don’t have it yet, I had to leave a deposit and get the hitch installed. It’s not super clean, but the bones are good, I think.
I’m super happy to be a part of this community!

Hi all,


My Husband and I took some time off on our Scamp revamp project but are stepping back in to getting it road-worthy.



It's good to see you all here. We have lots still to learn and are grateful that you are all so generous with your experience and know-how.



Also, we'd love to meet up with anyone in our general area, Eastern Nebraska/Western Iowa.

Hi all,

We bought our first ever travel trailer -- a 1973 13' Boler -- at the end of August 2023.

We spent about one week cleaning it and making it tolerable for a west coast trip (Seattle to San Francisco along the coast, and back via I-5). So many things we didn't know and had to learn along the way. This forum and others have been useful resources for us.

We just chased the 2024 Total Eclipse, Seattle to Ohio and back, and experienced many adventures with the Boler on the way. Vibrations and high winds took a toll on it, and we quite literally had to duck tape (yes, Duck brand) parts together, including to keep the door shut after losing the entire inside latching mechanism somewhere on I-90. It gave us a great excuse to head to Backus, MN, to visit the Scamp factory. They fit us in to install a new handle, upgrade the hinges with their rebuild kit, and replace the door seal. They were really great to deal with, and I'm so glad I didn't need to do those things myself.

As a hobby, I do some 3D design and printing. If you have any needs for your trailer, hit me up.

For example: I'm currently making an adapter plate that will fill the old "shore power" extension cord "mouse hole" and provide a mounting surface for a new NOCO GCP-2 AC Port Plug jack. The NOCO flange is smaller (80mm instead of 109mm), and I determined that an adapter plate would be easier than patching the existing hole in the fiberglass. I've uploaded a few photos that hopefully illustrate the idea well enough.

Happy to join this community!
