Yesterday my wife Jana found a 1970 Aristocrat Low Liner camper for sale on craigslist for $1300. Today we bought it for $1100. Even though I left behind several decades of working on old trucks, I just couldn't pass this camper up. Owning one outright without payments really appealed to me.
As you can see it is not in too bad a shape although he called it a deer-lease special. It does need a bunch of TLC, but being the owner of a deck & fence company and having built many a cabinet in my time, it will be fun to work on the interior. Everything works electrically but it needs to be rewired to have the trailer brakes work again.
The bones are good, but I will no doubt have a few questions as we go along with the fixin' up. It won't be a complete gut/rebuild, but there will be a fair amount of work involved. Eventually I think all the cabinet fronts will get replaced, but for now we may just paint them after we peel the fake wood grain off them.
Anyway, Thomas speaks very highly of the site and those of you he has met. looking forward to joining the camper crowd and ditching all the tent setup for change!
