I just purchased an 83 burro and want to add an airconditioner and heater to it. Does anybody have any good ideas?

We have an Eggcamper and returned in August from a 10,683 5 week trip to N. CA, WA and OR. It was great and with a screen room was very comfortable.

Christina,
Sorry I missed the link in the second paragraph. I’m sure to have lots to post when I get on the road!

William,
I have seen posts from a couple of people that recently purchased a fiberglass “shell” attached to the trailer from EggCamper at a basic price so that they could finish the interior themselves. Pictures of finished EggCampers are shown in Christina’s article. Contact information at http://www.eggcamper.com

Hi William. Kent recently did a post on the Retro Traveler trailer. They do custom trailers that are under 2,000 lbs. They might be able to work with you.

Hi, does anyone know of any manufatorers who will make an aluminum or fibreglass shell-camper(fundamental frame and siding), so that I can finish the camper and do the interior myself?? All I need is a good shell with a bathroom/toilet, and connections(electrical, etc)..?? I read in the past that French yaht manufatorers would make the shell and sell it so that the buyer could finish the boat to his own needs. Why can’t camper/RV makers offer this to the public??

No mention of fibreglass trailers is complete without including the Boler. They’re a classic! My 13′ Boler is not currently roadworthy so it’s up on blocks with a huge deck that extends to the edge of a small ‘cliff’, kind of like being in a treehouse. I’ve modified the interior for more storage space and a better single person setup. The deck is eventually going to get a bolt together winter porch that can accommodate a wood stove but in the meantime has a small roofed section that can be tarped in various configurations.

Thanks so much for this article, and for including us and our beloved Oliver Travel Trailer. We’ve been living in ours full time since we picked it up at the factory in July 2008, and loving it! (Our last home on wheels was even smaller – a 16′ Tab clamshell).

Anne, We would love to do a post on you and your Burro when you sell your house. Keep us posted.

I do have a link to the fiberglass RV website. In the post, click on the link in the second paragraph. They do have a great forum.
