U-Haul actually made rental fiberglass campers in the 1980s and sold them out to private buyers in 1992. I'll give you some history behind these cute little vintage rigs called a CT-13, how I found mine, and what I paid for it, and a tour. I know, right?! I had no idea they existed either until I got one either!!

    • @@cindyr.williams607 Thank you so much for the insight! I ended up using RTV to rebuild the gasket. It is one solid gasket that houses the lights, so this was a makeshift solution. It came out okay, but now that I have something to build off of, the silicone may do the trick!

  • I used to clean RVs for UHaul back in the 80's so I saw plenty of these. I'm glad you added the air conditioner and ceiling fan as condensation was a big problem. Moisture would roll off the ceiling and walls. Bet you don't have any roof leakage problems as most other trailers do. You've got this one decorated so cute. Love it!

Our eighth grade class, 10 kids, went on a field trip for a long weekend. We rented a motorhome, and one of these from U-Haul. At night the girls stayed in the little camper like yours and the boys were in the motorhome. Brings back great memories.

  • I remember those, I thought they were cool. Thanks for taking me down another memory lane. Seeing the interior and the vibrant colors of your bedding and pillows reminds me of the 80s when the world wasn't so monochromatic like today. Watching your video brought me to a a past where everything seemed brighter and now, right now I'm feeling a lot better.

    • Awww! Thank you so much for that! I've noticed how much more colorful my life has become since I purchased the camper. The first 2 trips I had with it, I had it decorated pretty plain. I sassed it up before this trip and absolutely love the nostalgia it gives me now. 💛 I'm glad it gave you that feeling, too! It's my happy place.

  • Awesome score... A piece of nostalgia for sure. Great job on the aftermarket touches. Consider beefing those tires to a meatier tread. The old rear taillight seals can be removed with a steel brush and replaced with a RTV gasket maker.

    @imagine9375@imagine93753 ай бұрын

    • Thank you so much! Great advice! I actually did end up using RTV to rebuild the gaskets. When I took the taillights off you can see how it's one solid gasket that houses the lights and the seal. I strategically used the RTV to shape and adhere to the old gasket. The only other option was retrofitting the entire light system.

I know some people don't get it, but he is so worth sacrificing precious real estate in the camper to make him comfortable. Dealing with litter in that small space is no joke, but after trial and error, I found the best cat litter and what works for us. I wouldn't have it any other way! 💛
