Some of you may not have found this, but Flyte Camp has a TV show on the GAC channel. They are based in Bend OR. I think they have done their run for the year, but it's called Flippin RV's. They pick up old trailers and do the restore on them and show the process or they redo something for a customer that wants some modifications done. They give a before and after pic and value on those that they turn. They are very proud of their work $$. They sent out an e-mail searching for unusual trailers about a year ago, looking for projects for the show. It's turning into a typical reality show. Their parts picker guy "just happens" to run into a perfect stove for a trailer that is the exact year and model they need. My favorite was when the picker just happened to find a piece of canvas sitting in someones yard that happened to be a tent for a 1948 Higgins tent trailer. That sort of stuff now happens regularly to them, however, I've yet to find anyone else that it happens to. They did pick up a Kit teardrop from the guy that owns Coker Tire, and dragged it back from Tenn. Regardless of all that, it's sort of a fun show to watch as they show different campouts, and it's the only vintage trailer thing on TV. Doug
