(Finishing touches are still in progress so we do not yet have many photos of the updated interior, but that will be coming in the next couple months or so.)
A rare gem! It is not often you’ll find a vintage aluminum travel trailer of this convenient length on the market! The body is 23 feet long, about seven feet wide, and about eight feet high. The total length is about 25 feet from back bumper to coupler. We weighed it fully loaded, except for empty water tank, during a road trip and the weight at that time was approximately 4,720 pounds. The exterior is constructed of anodized aluminum, which is amazing for durability and, unliked polished aluminum, does not need to be polished or waxed.
Delivery might be possible based on distance and timing. The travel trailer is currently located in San Leandro, California.
We are the fourth owner. It was owned and maintained by the previous owner’s parents for about 20 years who bought it from the original owners. Many of the vintage manuals and documents are included.
The previous owners made many improvements and we did a beautiful update that will allow you to enjoy both the quality and charm of the vintage construction and the beauty and efficiency of modern style and amenities.
Technical and cosmetic updates:
Exterior: Eternabond tape on the roof and poly caulk where needed to seal a leak were added by previous owner around 2021. Mostly original sealant between the aluminum panels.
The front left plexiglass corner window had been broken during the previous ownership so we had it replaced with an equivalent vintage Silver Streak window.
Awning: Replaced with new material by previous owner, extends and retracts properly.
New exterior Maxxair ceiling vent covers added by previous owner and we installed new interior ceiling vent frames.
Tires: New installed around 2021 by previous owner.
Brakes: Electronic brakes and emergency connections and mechanisms all work properly and were recently inspected as part of an overall maintenance and systems check.
Jack: Upgraded to power tongue jack by previous owner.
Newer 7-pin connector, properly connects for all lighting, braking, and charging circuits, added by previous owner.
Newer 12V DC battery installed around 2021 by previous owner.
Exterior lights: All exterior lights work. We installed new running lights in 2023.
Interior lights: All interior lights work and most were converted to LED by previous owner.
Air conditioner is on bedroom ceiling and works very well.
A propane furnace is installed and works very well, however if you plan to be connected to electrical services, a small space heater to use in bathroom or bedroom is included if desired.
In the kitchen/dining room, we removed the carpet and the damaged subfloor down to the metal frame, removed rust and powder-coated the frame, installed new subfloor then lay durable and handsome compressed bamboo flooring throughout.
Newer rubber weather strip, new knobs and deadbolt, and new hold back were installed on the front door.
We replaced the cramped dinette benches and table with a spacious custom L-shaped storage bench with custom upholstered cushions.

Original double-basin porcelain kitchen sink, also in Butternut color, is in great condition.
