Made Some Camper Friends!

It turns out that Facebook and the interwebs as a whole are full of friendly people who love to talk about their vintage campers and the process of fixing them!  Last night I got onto the Tin Can Tourist Facebook page and was warmly welcomed.  In fact, about 2 minutes after introducing myself and our camper, Mr Tim Heintz, owner of Heintz Design Vintage Trailers in wrote:

"Great looking trailer, not many Security Traveler Trailers out there! Are you sure about the Size and Year? The Body would be 12' but this model was called the "Fifteen" as in 15' long (Trailers are always measured in overall length). Also 1966 was the first year that the Security Traveler Trailer introduced this "Fifteen" model."

It's fun to get this kind of information. We'd looked around on the internet a bit and hadn't found much. Security campers, including ours, the Security "15" Traveler were made in Boise, Idaho.  

Also learned that we should (and will) become members ot the Tin Can Tourist Club (they have vintage camper rallies all year, all around the country), and learned about some cool supply companies.  Which we'll probably need to contact at some point in during this project.
