SOLD 1970 Trailswest Campster $2400

1970 Trailswest Campster, $2400. I'm selling because I bought a slightly larger trailer last fall; haven't had much chance to show this one due to our lovely weather this winter!

The trailer is located on South Whidbey Island (just north of Seattle, 15 minute ferry ride to Whidbey and 10 minute drive). It is stored in my garage but it is easy to roll it out and show it as long as it isn't extremely windy or wet. (Single car garage and not a lot of room to show it there.)

Ready to go- take it camping tomorrow or take it home and restore it. Tows behind many small cars. Now that the weather MAY actually allow showing it, I wanted to bump this posting up before I get it onto Craigslist.

Details

Fits in a 7’ garage.
Good tires
Both original tire guard panels intact
includes permanent 48” pillow top mattress plus cushions for remaining 24” of interior bed/dinette area- storage under bed can be reached from the seating area
(Original configuration makes king size bed or two 24 x 72 cots but cushions are no longer included for these.)
includes ports Potti if desired
2 burner stove
sink with pump faucet (currently no water tank)
icebox
new LED tail lights and new wiring for lights (3 years)
newer curtains (dog motif)
blackout curtains also included
electric heater with thermostat mounted on wall
120 Volt lights in galley (LED) and cabin (Fluorescent)
Atwood stabilizers welded to frame in back
tire mount welded to frame in front
includes 20 lb propane tank
No leaks but windows could use resealing
Pop top was made from ABS plastic and works well, no leaks
newer removable tent fabric with new handles and clamps
Leaf springs, no brakes
swing-away wheel jack

One person can easily move it around on a cement pad
Door with sliding panes and screen
original gelcoat shines up nice with Poly Glo
new decals front and back
Includes 1 7/8 tow ball

No smoke and very little cooking inside, but has had furry dogs in it many times. Black rat fur insulation does have remnants of their stay. Probably not for the highly allergic!

Side windows stick- one has some chips out of it. Screens are in decent shape. I was going to reseal windows but never got to it as it is mild enough here that with the pop top and door window open no more ventilation was needed

Table top included, no post

It was remodeled for a microwave (not included) and icebox side drawers removed. Will fit small microwave and has an outlet to plug it in. No microwave included.

Original Coleman light (propane) is present but does not work properly. Could be replaced; propane supply is in good shape.
12V system (lights in cabin and galley) has been used in the past but not since I bought it, no battery.

Wired for 4 way plug only right now.
original floor under new Marmoleum (which is just floating)- some squishiness near door. Campster has a solid glass bottom so this is really cosmetic

Other info: there were only a handful of these Campsters made between 1969 and 1975. They are similar to the Compact Jr and Compact II trailers (see Facebook group) and lots of info can be found at FiberglassRV.com including info on how nearly any system in the trailer can be repaired, restored, or replaced. Trailer weighs about 900 lbs plus your gear, tongue weight about 100 lbs. I towed it with a Subaru Forester. Set up is extremely easy- back in, unhitch using tongue jack, level, put the stabilizers down, pop the top up, done. Ready to use now (I camped in it this summer) or take it home and restore or update it.

Currently registered in Washington; eligible for PTI in California.

Still active, sort of, but I'm going to store it until spring before listing on Craigslist. Any serious inquirers can still contact me and possibly arrange to see it.

Use the Facebook link above, and you should be able to see lots of pictures. There are notes on some of the pictures. I'm on Whidbey Island, north of Seattle.

I've been browsing/dreaming forever but its never felt like the right time, in part due to my 7foot garage. It seems like this would be a great fit for my needs! And I'm nearby (North Seattle)! PM sent.

That was me when I bought it. I had a garage that opened directly onto the sidewalk- absolutely nowhere else to park on my property in Fresno- so wasn't sure I'd find anything.

Bumping up as it is almost decent enough weather that I'm going to get it out of the garage and it is also going on local advertising.
