Heck yeah! I decked out a Ford Econoline with similar green carpet, that thin paneling with lines in it, and an Indian print headliner. Peace & Love, Man.

emij... "An unfortunate choice"... well put.

I remember a shorter version too. Apparently its a 210 or 220. I know this to be true from visiting (is there anything not on the Web?) the Travco forum, named (you guessed it) TravcoForum.com.

I work in Placerville, believe it or not, a town of maybe 300 residents and 15 people working there!
I'd be happy to put some eyes on that Casita for ya.

That is extremely kind of you, Scott. The owner, Chris, replied to my email last evening. It's still for sale. But its not the trailer for me for a few reasons. Thank you for your offer.

Restored 1978 13' Scamp Camper | Black Hills of SD | Fiberglass RV's For Sale

Not sure if it fits your price range, but it is so cute! In South Dakota.

Bruce,

Since you are tall, you might want to consider expanding your search to include the TrailsWest Campster and Hunter compact trailers. The lay out is different from the Scamp, Boler etc. in that the doo is in the back with the dinette/bed in the front. I think that the original design intent was that you sleep lengthwise instead of cross wise which allows a longer bed without increasing the width. These trailers also have a pop top which adds additional head room in the kitchen area.

Thank you emij. It, like basically ALL that appear, is out of my reach.

I welcome the information Elizabeth EWA. I will keep the Campster and Hunter in mind as I search.

I'm accepting that the entry fee to this hobby is, for the most part, north of my means and/or commitment. I'm now exploring other ways to join the ranks...

There is a group page on FB called "I own a Boler" I just saw a project for 1500$, looks like a 17' in Alberta. I'm not suggesting this is for you, just an example of another source for fbglrv s
