Actively doing up vintage campers worthy of a Second Chance.  Customize to a theme of your liking…whether it’s angling, wrangling, or simply travelling...

My hubby and I love to restore old things and give them a new lease on life – from old discarded fence posts to one hundred year old houses in downtown Colorado Springs. So it is no big surprise that we most recently jumped into renovating old discarded camper trailers. We weren’t actually looking for one very seriously but whilst on the Government Auction Website searching for a truck, we saw her. She had never a camper really, but was originally outfitted as a field office for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and lived her whole life in the field. We won the bid and drove the two hours south to La Junta, Colorado, where she patiently awaited her fate. She wasn’t going anywhere fast either – both tires were flat as pancakes and it needed new rims and tires. All that cost nearly as much as she did initially! Once home, we decided it was best to take everything out – right down to the framing and aluminum siding. We found out that she was a Mobile Scout – made in Texas around 1963 – and somehow we ended up naming her Lucille.
