1969 Rancho Elrae

This 15 1/2′ vintage camper trailer has been sitting untouched in the front yard since February.  We bought it in anticipation of our tiny house build in WV with a plan to cozy it into a “guest home” type scenario to make our woods more visitor friendly.  It’s a pretty daunting project…hence the not starting on it yet.  The camper’s in great shape for its age – mainly needs to be sealed up in spots and given that personalized touch.  First step will be to paint the exterior and replace the poorly patched siding.  The farthest I’ve gotten is dipping into the internet for motivation.  I found a fantastic forum that I know I’ll be referencing throughout my restore of this tin can.  Take a gander at our future guest quarters in all its BEFORE beauty.
