Travel Trailer Sweet Travel Trailer




Driving back from Lancaster, PA, I must have giggled for forty-five minutes, non stop.
The smile that lasted the three hour drive home.
It could have been... the sight of towing (neither of us had ever towed anything before) this ridiculous bright yellow and blue 1974 Serro Scotty Travel Trailer, the fact that I've been obsessing and searching for a vintage travel trailer for over six months every single day, recalling the looks on many faces when I regaled them of the trailer-that-got-away stories, imagining their faces when we pulled up with this 70's baby in tow.  Good laughter.

Photo op at AutoZone, many looks were had there.
After everything, it's finally real, the restoration will be starting soon, the album is almost done, and this tour is happening.  It's all falling into place.  I think it may have been easier planning the wedding!

The loving husband wondering to himself if his wife has officially lost it.
To me this travel trailer is so much, it's a vacation house, gypsy bandwagon, the first large project together as a married couple, our vessel for being able to tour across the country playing music, a symbol of American ingenuity, proof that with enough love and work it's possible to rebuild what others couldn't, wouldn't or thought wasn't worth it.

Tech notes: She pulled like a dream, she's only 1700 Lbs, all lights, except the left rear brake light, are in working order, bearings are greased and are in fine order, the tires held but will be replaced soon (white walls of course).

It's frigid here, but as soon as the large tent I ordered from ebay comes, the demo will start.  



On our way.

    It's almost always easy to make a joke about the way a cat ends up lying down or sitting. Many people prefer the link baiting to increasing the profit in the online marketing field.
