Feel free to message me through the forums or email me at nickbraam at yahoo dot com.

- Only 800lbs empty; very easy to tow even for a compact car
- Single piece fibreglass construction
- Galvanized Frame
- Shell imported from Europe (Poland) and build completed by a Canadian company.
- Pop-up top
- Four leveling Jacks
- Sleeps three
- Two burner stove
- Sink with water pump and tank
- Lots of storage
- Spare tire
- I have the original awning, all pillows, curtains etc. for it.

Needs some work:
- I bought this unit seeing the potential in it, and wanting to restore it. However I simply don't have the time, as we have two young kids.
- I have resealed/repaired and repainted the roof with a high-end marine gel-coat paint system ($40 a quart).
- It has new brake lights.
- It needs new wall upholstery in the interior, as the foam in the old upholstery has broken down. It will need a bunch of other small things as well.
- Would make a great winter restoration project for the right person.
- I will include some materials I bought to repair the trailer including: 3 quarts of the gel coat paint, as well as special rubberized undercoating spray, and high end marine silicone caulking.

It will help folks if you let them know where in BC you are located.

Nick, cute trailer and someone is going to buy it and love fixing it up. So, I'm going to ask... what condition is the the front "bubble" window in? ... that one window seems to be problematic when it comes to replacement with the Cadet and/or Captain. If it's in good/great shape

But, we know there's no good replacement unless shipped from Europe.

Inquiring minds want to know...

Hi Donna, thanks for asking. There is a crack in the front window unfortunetly.

The previous owners repaired it with epoxy, and it is holding well, but is definitely noticeable. It is show in one of the general pictures I've put in the picture link. I do plan to take more pictures tomorrow evening (for a prospective buyer). I'll include a closeup of the star in the front window. It's too bad these campers did not come with protective covers for the front window.
