Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers

Ok well I built this with the intent to sell, have been taking it around to various camper and car shows, towing it with my '48 Chevy PU. So I guess it's time. Asking $4500 and Here's what it is...
A complete professional re-creation of a 1959 Scotty Sportsman 12, or Rear door as they have become to be known. Had a complete 59 camper, but was total junk, even the frame. They only built these for 2 years, something like 250 units. Used factory specs and side skins templates for everything...body dimensions, layout design. Used a modern trailer frame to start, modified it to the factory size, has new axle, tires and wheels, wood shell, aluminum skin, birch interior, original propane stove , light and sink, period 110 vt lights, reproduction Ice box, original emblems, Gaucho style bed with 4" sectioned foam mattress( bed slides into a couch), period lighting on exterior, new period style trim but modern sealant, original vent, period looking but slider windows,
Storage compartment under bed, accessable from outside, lockable, 2" ball, 4 pin wiring connector,
Located in Central IN, can deliver anywhere, have clear IN title, which came with the frame...a 1986!
Weighs 950#, tows extremely well, price includes vintage decorating items
Sat out in a hard rain storm...no leaks! Stored indoors.
Let's talk!

What are the dimension of interior and bed if you don't mind ? :-)

Keep in mind this is a tiny camper! The bed is 71 1/2" long, and 47" wide. Slides into a couch about half as wide as the bed.

I love the rear door Scotty's, nice reproduction!

Hello,
I am a retro guy at heart and your Scotty replica just tugged at my heart strings
Is she for sale still?

Yes it is

Great can you tell me about her?

Description above pretty much says it all

Hey there,
At the risk of sounding wordy, I fellow BB person threw a link to your build so I could see a little of what is underneath. That was one of my concerns. I am sure you have answered a bunch of questions from the number of views your little repro has become a sweet destination for many including myself. I have seen your SRD in a museum only and then in photos. I have never set foot in one but your vintage repro looks sweeter than the new versions that they are cranking out in PA now. I am the guy that wears the lumberjack shirt that has cut down trees, made log furniture and likes the old ways. I may have mentioned before that this is the coolest thing on two wheels that I have seen in a long time. The price is coming closer to where I may be able to afford. I am a school teacher in Virginia.

Love that stove! Where can I get one?

Is this still for sale?

Yes it is

I will be setting off for an extended trip in a teardrop that has not been out the garage in two years. I plan to carefully check it for sealing against rain penetration before I start on the trip. What sealant do you advocate now? Thanks.

Don
I used a combination of Butyl tape and RV ProFlex sealant
