It is with a heavy heart that are choosing to sell our dear, Gidget! Beautifully restored and decorated, this little camper has given us many wonderful memories. Our family of 5 has recently become, 6. As much as we have talked about cramming inside for the next several years, we have set our eyes on something a little bigger and are moving on to new adventures!

Asking Price: $8,900

Details:

• Located in Livonia, MI – We will not deliver, you must come prepared to tow it away!
• 16′ long (not including tongue)
• Approximately 1,800 pounds dry weight (we had her weighed while we were in the remodeling phase, so this may have changed just slightly)
• 1956 Century, made in Detroit by the Federal Trailer Co
• We purchased a few years ago and completely gutted and restored the interior and painted the exterior
• No AC, but we installed a 12V ceiling vent fan that works wonders!
• Sleeps 4 to 5: Table converts to a bed which can fit 2 adults (but it’s tight!), full size bed in the back with a single bunk over top. My husband and I got cozy and slept in the front on the fold down table, while the kids slept in back.
• No bathroom, but we purchased a little marine style toilet that worked great for the kids.
• Working sink with new faucet
• Spacious refrigerator with freezer (can fit a full size milk jug)
• Microwave
• All new wiring and outlets
• 2 Large closets
• Lots of cupboard space and storage spots
• Storage under bench seats and under bed in back
• New laminate wood flooring
• New paint throughout
• Comes fully furnished and decorated
• Under the counter mounted TV and DVD player
• Awning and poles
• Table that attaches outside camper
• Frame has been re-welded and reinforced anywhere that was showing signs of weakness. Tongue was extended.
• New tail lights were installed and wired.
• All gas lines were removed, no furnace installed but we will include our little space heater with thermostat.

To-Do List:

• Not all windows open and there are a few screens missing
• Threshold of door needs to be reinforced with new metal trim
• You get the charm of a 1956 trailer, but she needs continued attention and maintenance. I check her over every Spring to watch for leaks and make sure to re-caulk anywhere that is showing signs of age or cracking.
