So. We have a 63 Boles Aero Princess. 24ftr with original 1in mahogany wood cabinetry throughout. I restored her, but we did not have to change the interior much. Although she did need the interior addressed. The prior owner did remove the clear coat, which allowed me to polish her. I may post a video to show the results. We are going on our 6 year of ownership and like everyone else, have slowly sunk money into the improvements. Very well made trailer and shows her patina proudly!

Beautiful! I lived in a ‘72 Boles Aero for 18 months when I moved back to AZ from Cali. Got it for $800 from a guy that lived in Riverside. It was built so well! Wish I still had it. This build makes me really miss it!

Quintessential Florida vibe from the jalousie windows to the aquatic-teal band that surrounds the entire home. Classy chassis'..

Always try to keep it real, which sometimes comes across as negativity. RV life is a ton of trial and error, then toss a DIY trailer into the mix 😂

Love this. Really love that there is no propane and it's all electric.

There is nothing wrong with propane. I use it to heat my water at home. Not even a permanent install. I ran hoses outside the laundry window beside the window AC. I don't use hot water to wash clothes so that's my hot water connection to the house the cold water is a Y connector to the washing machine and hot water heater. Simple but I have hot water when I need it. About a month and a half on one 15 lb tank. If I run out I can also use a one pound can. Until I refill the tank. 73

For less money than an Airstream you can sometimes pick up a trailer that was called the Silver Streak. they were also known for their reliability.

I really love the trailer and all of the modifications. I showed this video to the manager of my RV Resort. I asked him if they would allow this RV. He said no because it is too old.

Beautiful!!! It takes me back to my precious memories of camping with my Granny and Paw. Of course it was the 70's and a wonderful time. I sure wish I could find a camper like this. You guys put a lot of back-breaking work into this beauty, but you have something I'd much prefer to the newer models of today... character. Enjoy making those sweet memories.

I love the old travel trailers. They just have so much character and class. They were more like a work of art back in the day. They real paid attention to details down to the shapes with lots of curves and unique designs. Now days they are made cheap with no style everything is a box. Old travel trailers are just Cool you can't say that about the new travel trailers RVs motorhomes. I rather have a old travel trailer over new one and a old diy Skoolie over a new motorhome. I would take a oldie over a newbie any day... Love this Travel Trailer he did a great job on the build its a lovely traveler.... 😊👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏

In about 1993 my then 18 year old son bought a trailer that was set up just like that, even the outside looked about the same. Seems to me that it did have an awning in the front that closed. It was 25 years old and could have used some work but he only had it for a couple years and sold it for $1000. Which was 200 more than he bought it for. Those were the days! I wish we had thought of something like this. Now that we're retired that would be awesome! My husband is an electrician, and very handy so I'm sure he could have done something like this. If all those upgrades were available back then. At the time he said "It's too heavy! I don't want to tow that! " Silly kids!! 🙃🤪 I absolutely love this! You did an excellent job! ❤ 👏 👍

I have a small vintage trailer and I think the two-sink-thing is ridiculous, especially since one is within a wet bathroom. The bathroom is very cramped and the sink is awkward to get to. I can’t understand any circumstances under which one wouldn’t just use the kitchen sink.

I think a RV is the way I will go also 🙂 I like the extra room a RV gives

I have to concour about the black/grey tank thing. My View had a pretty easy to reach system and I got used to it in about a month DAMN! That is one well laid out electrical system.

My biggest complaint on any #vanlife and other small units is the 2nd sink that takes up needed space in a wet bath. For those who complain about washing poopy hands in a kitchen sink, get real. you prepare raw meats in this area and are perfectly comfortable with using bleach or whatever you use to to get rid of the nasty germs. You can do the same after washing poopy hands if that bothers you.

I do home visits as a nurse and the first thing I do is wash hands and there’s these hired aides or caregivers frowning and complaining that I must go to the toilet to wash my hands as the kitchen sink is only for food. I never get to understand their logic as they prep dead meat in the kitchen sink and it’s not like my hands are filled with automobile oil grease or gasoline.😂

Best renovation i have seen yet.

I like those windows too. You can keep them open when it rains unless its windy. My dad installed them on our front porch on our cottage he built. I sure miss that cottage. 2 bedroom living room one bath and kitchen then dad bult a utility room on one end of the porch. Mom had plenty of storage for pantry items. Washer and dryer and hot water tank. Even a place for a toilet but never finished. We rented the cottage out over 10 years until mom told the tennats they had to move. Then we sold the cottage. 73
