I love camping, but not roughing it. We had a motorhome for years and loved traveling all over the place. It was tons of fun. That travel-camping bug rubbed off on my two sons and they both love the outdoors and roughing it. However – my oldest son decided to upgrade to a little less roughing it. He bought this wonderful little vintage camper and totally remodeled it. I love this little treasure. I thought you might like seeing it too. A great Vintage Camper Makeover. ( I shared this a few years ago, but I’ve had several ask about my Vintage Rv. This is my son’s, not mine, but I do love it.)
He lived in Oregon and bought this little cutie for a couple of hundred dollars. It needed a lot of work. All the outside was repaired and then painted.
All new wiring and plumbing too.
Every inch was gone over.
The inside is a little doll house. I love how he continued the original vintage colors.
The double bed folds up like a futon sofa. There is a single bunk above also.
Potty and shower room with all waterproof paneling.
Air conditioning and even a place for a small toaster oven.
New Refrigerator & Microwave too.
This is how he arrived in Phoenix, with one of his motorcycles in the back of the truck.
He sold his house and now lives here, we are so excited to have him close to us all. Brothers are such great friends, these two are only a year apart and always so close. He gave this little cutie to his brother.
When he got here, he decided to buy himself a toy-hauler trailer that is much bigger. He has lots of toys and wanted to have a place to live and still take his toys with him. He works from home, so he can live anywhere.
He is an electronics engineer mostly designing and running wifi networks for soccer stadiums in England. I took this off of his facebook page – –
Twickenham Stadium in London is one of the places that I run the wifi networks. It is the 2nd largest football stadium in England.. Andrew and Andy are there right now with their boys watching the Arizona Cardinals game and sending me pics via the wifi.. There are 82,000 people there using it.. Cool beans
His new toy has two ramps, one in the back and one up front on the side. This one in the back is perfect for both of his motorcycles and his desk area. There’s also a sofa and full kitchen and bathroom with a large shower in the middle. Then refrigerator and washer and dryer and more room for toys up front.
Now these two can be off camping together like old times.
Adorable We are also campers!!
Enjoyed your post. I would love to have a glamper and go explore the United States!!! Great fun and what an adventure that would be.
Love the glamper. How pretty and I love too that they kept the colors going inside in the white and teal. Very cute.
Very cool!!
Oh I love this post for so many reasons! Sharing on the Weekend Edit on Saturday-ish.
Oh thanks so much for sharing this! I adore that vintage camper and could imagine myself going wherever I want with it. He did such a great job making it so nice!!!!!!!!!!
Thus is a beautiful camper. I too like that th the colors on the outside continue inside.
How wonderful they are back together and doing things again.
Oh Marty I LOVE this post!!!!!! First – that vintage camper is so adorable I can barely contain my excitement. It is amazing and he did a fantastic job. And he gave it to his brother? That is soooooooooooooooooo sweet!!! I love they will have (hopefully) years of camping fun together. I too love to camp but my old bod doesn’t like roughing it anymore either.
You must be so happy to have your sons near now. And that info on his job is NEAT!!! You have to be so proud of your family.
Have a wonderful weekend, dear lady. Hugs. ♥
Thanks so much michele, I really am proud of the kids. They turned out to be such neat people and really do like each other, so how there be anything better. Look for a little camper and clean it up and go camping, it is so fun and the kids will love it too. Hugs, Marty
Love this!! We almost had an RV makeover last fall…still may be in our future!
Marty this was such a fun post to read! I adore the vintage trailer.
Hi Marty
Thanks for sharing this camper. Loved it! Your son did a beautiful job inside and out. Love the colors and it has everything you would need for a trip. What a blessing having your family close by.
Oh, I love this little camper! It’s my dream to have one of these cute things, but I still need to get my husband on board. He has no interest…yet. Thanks for sharing it with us at TFT!
P.S. I featured it at the TFT party today. 🙂
Isn’t that the cutest?! What a multi-talented guy, and generous too! Thanks for sharing all the great inspiration!
This is absolutely amazing! So adorable. Great work! My boyfriend and I are doing a makeover ourselves. Just curious, what is the make and model of this camper? Ours looks so similar!
Thanks so much. Not sure of the age or model. It was my son’s. He did an amazing job restoring it. I think it is just adoreable.
