Vehicle description
Meet Gidget! A completely refurbished 1956 Century camper made by the Federal Trailer Co. in Detroit, Mi. This little gem has been lovingly repaired and updated! She is road ready, and comes with a handful of helpful camping accessories! She would make a great camper for a single, couple, or small family, or a fun addition for a vintage collector looking for that special rare find.
Gidget is 16" feet long inside, 20" long including tongue/hitch (the tongue has been extended). She weighs approximately 1,800lbs, making her an easy tow with almost any vehicle! There is ample storage space, with lots of drawers and 2 closets. Gidget does not have an on board restroom but that hasn"t stopped us from camping all over Arizona at many of the beautiful improved campgrounds! She does have a working faucet and portable grey water tank. She has a 30amp shore power hook up and all wiring has been replaced.
Gidget is 65 years old, and wear is consistent for her age, but she has been a joy for our family to camp in many times and has many wonderful years left in her!
You can see some of Gidget"s restoration and recent adventures by searching #GidgetGoesCamping on Instagram. We also have a photo album of all restoration work.
