Beth's New 1967 FAN Travel Trailer

I am sitting here in my friend, Beth’s brand new (to her), 1967 FAN Travel Trailer.  What a perfect cocktail hour, with the rain gently tapping on the roof, and that magnificent mountain vista in the distance.

Here are a few pictures of her trailer in “as found” condition.  

Beth has been scouring the internet for months looking for the perfect trailer, and researching sites like “Pinterest”, to figure out her decorating scheme.  



I spent a few hours with Beth last night, seeing all of her ideas, fabrics, colors, etc.  It was so exciting!  Her trailer is going to be decorated like a beach cottage, and the outside will make you feel that you are at the beach, stretching out on your beach chair, sipping a martini!!

Here is an incredible idea that Beth found on pinterest.  She has always been into mixing exotic drinks and cooking incredible meals while camping, and her new trailer loans itself perfectly  to making this “outside bar” a reality!



I wish I could take credit for encouraging Beth’s desire to own her own trailer; but my interest only served as the seed that made her interest grow.  She has been a tent-trailer owner for years, and her husband always did the towing.   

I plan to support her with trailering lessons, as she begins towing her own. Her plan is to start camping next season, and we will be caravanning to campgrounds, glamping events, and next year we will be sponsoring a "Girl's Campout" and antiquing weekend. 

Stay tuned for more information!  Remember, you can do it, if the  interest is there!
