Bob and Doreen transformed a 2014 Class C Mercedes chassis Sprinter van and Forest River Solera RV into their dream 1950 Spartanette RV

the original Forest River Solera RV underwent a dramatic metamorphosis, replacing its cabin with a 24-foot 1950 Spartanette travel trailer. Clever engineering preserved the slide-out and bathroom, maintaining practicality amidst the transformation.

Salvaged lumber from vintage trailers adorns the door fronts, complementing the old-growth aesthetic. Trimwork crafted from 150-year-old Michigan white pine barn wood adds to the vintage allure.

it took them 19 months to do the work, 7 days a week, and they did this during Covid.

1927 Holt trailer is up for sale on Bring a Trailer... no reserve, and it's only at 8400. But it's immaculately restored, a real museum piece that's been in the Petersen, and has called the Murphy home for the last 5 years

The prototype was stored and remained in the ownership of Mr. Holt’s family through 2009 when it was acquired by a vintage travel trailer collector. It was then refurbished and displayed as part of a private museum in Santa Cruz, California, and was also briefly loaned to the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. It was finally donated to the Murphy Auto Museum in 2019.

Camp Wandawega... you're probably not going to believe this 1960's summer camp time capsule.... was founded in 1925 as a speakeasy/brothel/weekend destination for Chicagoans, and now looks like Martha Stewart and Crate and Barrel were liberally spread throughout the camp

these are legit Girl Scout Cabins, saved from a scout camp that closed nearby

Tucked away on the shore of ‘a little lake that no one has ever heard of’ in southeastern Wisconsin, Camp Wandawega has seen it all: from bootleggers to bad cops, priests to prostitutes, hippies to hipsters, as well as flappers, fanatics, and families on vacation.

Though started at Hotel Wandewega in 1925 to make a speakeasy with trap doors, hidden rooms, etc, by 1961 it was bought by Latvian priests (I am not making that up) who escaped the Soviet Union. They made this their retirement home and Latvian Summer Church Camp

More good news from Harbor Freight's Tools For Schools program

Jay Abitz was a winner of the Harbor Freight Tools for Schools Prize for Teaching Excellence® in 2021, and ever since, he has leveraged funding to improve his community of Freedom, WI. This year, Jay and his automotive students used a grant to refurbish and outfit an RV for a local disabled veteran experiencing homelessness.
