Sharonna Is for Sale

I'm moving on to some other interests with my daughter and Sharonna is now for sale.  She's a lovely girl and if you follow this blog you saw the effort that went into her renovation.  She is priced at $7500 and you can pick her up today and camp tonight.

The craigslist ad is here >>> http://savannah.craigslist.org/rvs/5036062488.html

You won’t find a vintage camper that is more solid.  The only things that are original are the skin, the windows, and the base frame.  All the wood, insulation, and guts were replaced.  I took some liberties with the décor and replaced late 60’s wallboard with birch.  I glamped as much as I camped so I wanted things to look nice.

What isn’t listed in this ad is the brand new air conditioner that sits on the roof.  You will need lots of blankets when you sleep even in SE Georgia or Florida.

This unit has served me well during my Sisters on the Fly events.  I have pulled it up to 6 hours away and done just fine.  My daughter and I are into dairy goats so we are selling this vintage trailer to purchase a horse trailer with living quarters.

This trailer has a Georgia title and is fully licensed.  If you have any questions you can contact me here.  I’m firm on the price.

Thanks for Looking!

Improvements Since the Maiden Voyage

The first camping trip was a nice trip, but there were things we still needed to do.  One of these items was to replace the light above the sink.  It was the only fixture that was original to the trailer and it blew the circuit each and every time we tried to run electricity to it.  I found somthing very similar in style at Home Depot and other than a small stain job to cover the old footprint, it is great.

The tongue of the trailer needed to be cleaned off and the rust inhibited.  That was a really easy job and we found the vin# in another spot.

Sharona also got her Shasta nameplate back on.  Jeff had painted the entire thing black and then polished off the letters leaving the depressed areas black.  Looks super.

Her wings are ready but those haven't gone on yet because we had to pick up some bushings.

This weekend we camp at Skidaway Island in Savannah, GA which is only about 30 minutes from home.  I will post update photos on the next blog post.



Labor Day

We made it!  An estimated 500 hours of hard labor (by the husband) and we finally got to celebrate Labor Day with a weekend of rest.  We have not had a weekend free of Shasta renovation since June 5th.  On with the photos...

Red went on well

More red painting

Red is on, waiting for windows

Not the correct style for the year; however, I like this type of light and they look amazing.

Back window is in!

She's got a few love pats but everything under this skin is **better than new**

This is a photo of the sheet metal we used to cover the old fridge and water heater vents.  We will put travel stickers in this section.

Windows are in...aren't they great?

Awning material bought from Joann's on sale

Made a bunting for our friend who has a Shasta Compact

Making the awning I had to resort to reading up on seam directions in my sewing manual

Husband cut the scallops and I seamed them up with bias tape.  Turned out well.

Adding curtains

Made another bunting for my little girl to hang over her bunk bed

Curtains and cushions all sewn by your author...it's a good thing ;-)

This is the kitchen nearly finished.  We camped with it at this stage.  It will get aluminum trim for the front before the next trip.

Little girl, She's so cute

This shot shows my awning.  It held together all weekend so I declare the awning project a success.

Alligators are a normal thing here in GA

This spring produces 7 million gallons of water per day

The revised layout was a huge sucess!
The adult bed is big enough to call a king size bed and the bunk above is certainly large enough for two small girls.
