I was googling "geographic travel trailer" and came across this ad for an Iowa trailer restoration company that appears to have an all white Geographic for sale. Very interesting!

I think that's a very old ad, and WAS Bardy's trailer. Iowa Boys are actually located in California: 11861 Branford St., Sun Valley, CA 91352

"WE ARE ON THE SOUTH-EAST CORNER OF PROPERTY OWNED
BY STERNDAHL ENTERPRISES, INC.

Our yard is immediately inside their main gate to the right"

Thanks. I guess that ad is sort of like the Burro website.

Flyte Camp has put the Geographic they rehabbed up on eBay. Feeling rich?

Is that a Bargman L400 lock on the door? Seems right.

Donna's link worked. Thank you. It is exceptional.

If I were wealthy, I'm not sure I'd have the nerve to put that on the roads.

It would be perfect in a movie.

Totally worth it. Surprised its not more. Can only imagine it at Barrett Jackson auction.

Belongs in a museum. Can't imagine putting that on the road.

it was then relisted for $225K, and that list expired.

I love the one where it shows this really ratty dented early 60s Airstream Bambi with a trashed interior as a 'similar listing', that someone is asking $16500 for. OMG.
