Her name is Wilma! You might look at Wilma and think “ She’s soooo cute! ! Why sell her?! ” Full disclosure. We initially paid a gigantic sum for Wilma in an bidding war. The original owners weren’t honest about the true state of Wilma’s condition – like the toilet that connected to nowhere! Nothing huge – just lots of little stuff not done or not fixed or just missing. We were upset for some time and then just decided to move on and fix her up – and fix her up we did ! With great intentions we spent over $2,000 fixing and upgrading her and lavishing her with attention. And then, after spending hours prettying her up, we realized at about 2500-2600 pounds that my small SUV was just not feeling comfortable enough to pull her on the highway. Oops! The older trailers really have such class but they can be a bit heavier. If you just have a car or a small SUV don’t bother bidding. But if you have a truck or a large SUV you should absolutely have no problem pulling her and we believe you will be extremely satisfied and showered with jealous admirers! Last minute add-in, pulled her this afternoon with my wife"s Toyota Sienna no problem! Wilma is certain to attract attention everywhere you will go! Included FEATURES worth noting :
All ORIGINAL 1960’s Formica table and kitchen counters in great condition; Table converts to 42” x 80” bed space; Entire outside of trailer has been resealed this past summer; ORIGINAL interior light fixtures, including vintage Humphrey propane lantern with Original Pyrex Glass globe; Gorgeous ORIGINAL 60’s TEAL immaculate gas stove top, oven and gas lamp were pressure tested. They found slight leak in line at connection point to stove but we never fixed it because we did not end up using stove/oven; Gas line should be safety checked; ORIGINAL overhead light with new modern low profile one also included should you prefer; ORIGINAL bathroom light fixture has 3 way bulbs; ORIGINAL HEHR and jalousie windows and door hardware. Had a couple of window parts/glass panes replaced. All windows function fairly well; ORIGINAL roof vent/skylight – works well; ORIGINAL CONSUL 3-way Refrigerator operates on electric, battery or gas. Electric runs well. Gas – untested; ORIGINAL Arvin AM/FM Solid State transistor radio – still works great! New FIXED toilet connector and original toilet which we originally had checked at the RV center - should be in working order; Kitchen sink and ORIGINAL toilet both have drainage hook-ups and new separate drainage tanks; Existing Faucet untested but probably works (we have included an additional brand new packaged faucet), plumbing not my forte; TITAN 5 gallon compact water heater w/pilot light currently appears in working order; Has exterior water hookup for “city” water; ORIGINAL fresh water holding tank located in storage under futon fills and pressurizes with an air pump from the outside. Unsure of size? 30 Gallon? It’s untested but I’ve heard they are pretty basic to use; Whirlpool AC cools down Wilma within just a few minutes; Flush-mounted small VIZIO flat screen TV and SONY DVD player installed but never used. ORIGINAL antenna connected to interior cable jack, should function; Sleeps about five (5) depending on size. The front dinette table converts to a sleeping area with the cushions. Cushions have a nice wooden mountain on bottom – solid and also easy to re-wrap if you are not big on the pattern. Full size futon/couch in back slides out. Ample storage beneath has hinged flip up access or custom made doors with front access. Bonus overhead upper bunk space folds up for head room and sleeps one more (needs cushion) or for extra storage. Original closet space unchanged, save a replaced bottom; Lots of storage throughout!; Two (2) propane tanks pigtailed with regulator; 2” ball hitch with safety chains; New trailer to vehicle electric coupler installed – 6 PIN/7-way wiring harness - although it seems to be acting up. Not sure if it is my car connector or the camper. . Soooo including brand new temporary 4-flat pin Magnetic towing light kit with 7-way to 4-way flat wiring adapter included; Single axle trailer with electric brakes; Old sway bar included but not sure how to install; Screen door; Vintage exterior plug-in light; Interior and exterior 110 volt electric works without problems; Original aluminum exterior, No leaks but has some various little exterior dings, dents, as would be expected of her age with no holes or large dents (see pics); NO ODOR. NO MILDEW. NO MOLD! NO LEAKS! A few of Wilma’s FIXES & UPGRADES: (see pics for many of these)

All sides were painted with Sherwin-Williams SHER-CRYL high performance acrylic semi-gloss marine paint (Extra White - B66W351), then the “Minor” Blue (SW6792) over that in the same SHER-CRYL Semi-gloss paint. It’s comparable to super durable urethanes and epoxies. Then the underbelly was resealed with roofing paint. Roof generously resealed with rubberized RV roof sealant, lap sealant prior to that on seams in 2016 and again this summer; PAINT : Interior – all new paint on interior, fun grape colored bathroom! This is a very solid camper. Very comfortable, roomy inside. CLEAN! ! Plenty of headroom. Large windows allow for lots of light! ! That said, to be honest, prior to purchasing Wilma, her 53 year old body had some slight water damage on the front and rear corners which honestly we just painted over (see pics). With 2 small kids I just ran out of steam fixing every little thing. A few spots on those panels are a bit soft and could use some repair. They also could work just fine the way they are for another 5 years. I have been monitoring this since we got the trailer and have found no current leakage. We never actually registered Wilma in Vermont. No title. Will issue Bill of Sale utilizing official VT DMV Form. LOCATED 9 MILES SOUTH OF Burlington, VT. Exterior Dimensions ; 8" Tall 13’ 8" Long body (excluding tongue), 16" with tongue 28” Tongue 85” Wide Interior Dimensions ; 74” Tall 80” Wide Counter Height 35.5" See diagram for complete layout and check out the video as it shows everything! We have tried to be as honest as possible here showing Wilma in all her glory and her little flaws. ( See extra pictures listed on link ) We will be sorry to see Wilma go! I have literally spent all my free time on her the last month getting her ready. We got her looking really nice now. We’ve considered actually keeping her! But alas she is ready for someone new to show her the countryside. Will it be you!? Good luck bidding! SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY. Thank you!
