Hi again Charles
From memory I believe the trailer is located in Winnipeg Beach. I live just outside of the city of Winnipeg. The Winnipeg Beach area is north of Winnipeg on Hwy #9, about 45 mins north. If you are coming from TransCanada Hwy you would just take the north bypass (101) until you see the turnoff for Hwy 9 north. Hwy 9 and 8 both take you right to the Lake Winnipeg beaches where the town of Winnipeg Beach is. Easy drive but slow at times. Stop in the town of Wpg Beach and order pizza at the Italian place! Awesome food. Gimli is a nice bigger town just about 10 mins past there.
If you need any trailer supplies there are lots - Metro Trailer, Princess Auto are both in the North East side of the city of Wpg and so you wouldn't have to navigate downtown. Although coming from Ontario you will laugh at what we call a highway! If you have any other q's email me privately. Be happy to help. I am happy to have provided a referral. We picked up an old stick trailer for now but still hunting for the right fiberglass!

Hello SherLynn,
Thank you for posting the kijiji ad about the K-Line. I had made the deal just this past long weekend after communicating with many emails to the owner. I had finally called her up on the weekend to make the deal.
I have been looking at a trailer for the past year. My wife's family every year rents a cottage outside of Kingston area for a week and we tent it out there while the main family stays in the cottage. Well it was time to get on drier ground.
I started looking at the small teardrop trailers on the net but when I saw one up close and how claustrophobic the sleeping area was I had to look bigger. The plan first was to have a utility trailer and then be able to convert it to a sleeper for the summer. When I started pricing them, the
Fiberglass RVs were starting to be more attractive. The teardrops have there place like the
Fiberglass RVs.
Well I stumbled on a
Trails West Campster in Kingston and at first didn't know anything about them. This forum helped me so much on the research and didn't realize how few of them were in the Ontario area.
A fellow Forum member in Kitchener allowed me to take a look at his
Campster and helped me to see what to look for in such a unique trailer. That's when the search was expanded to include the Compact JR and the Hunter. The big thing for me was to have a trailer that I can store in my garage and be able to work on it in the winter. Large bed and have a lot of storage where also a plus.
The search continued and was offered a few from the forum. Floyd from Illinois has a Compact JR and was very informative about them since he does many rehabs of
Fiberglass RVs. Check him out on the forum he has many different types that he is working on.
As for the K-line that I will be picking up the roof is different and I'm going to research to see if that is original or an afterthought. I am preparing my list of things to bring and the list is getting bigger. Also knowing the Princess Auto is there will be a great help. The owner is actually going to bring the trailer down to Winnipeg to save me from going up to Winnipeg Beach. I am looking forward to meeting her and spending some time getting to know the trailer before we venture back to Hamilton.
Our plan is to head back via the Northern Ontario route and stopping overnight at different locales, Thunder Bay, Sault Ste Marie, Manitoulin Island the back to Hamilton.
I will be keeping everyone updated on my trip back hopefully all goes well.
