In all the year...Thank you for your comment, Mike.<br /><br />In all the years I have owned "Pugsy", I have never taken any pictures of the inside. <br />It has real wood cabinets upper, with lots of drawers lower, and closets, all the way around, except over the 2 doors. More storage, drawers and counter space, than most RV's. It has a Dometic fridge, and full RV stove with oven that looks like it has never been used.<br /><br />It is a 2-door 1969 Venture molded fiberglass 19-20' Class A, made in Banning,CA. It has a Wide Block 318 Dodge, automatic transmission, power steering and brakes. The company was bought out by Starcraft, in about 1970, and they used the same fiberglass mold for their 1970 model, and maybe years after that.<br /><br />I have these of the outside of Pugsy: <br />http://picasaweb.google.com/LakeConroePenny/68Venture?feat=directlink<br /><br />I would go out there and take some pictures, but we have all the partitions and cupboards out of the 'stealth trailer' in there right now. It is so spacious inside, and that big back door is so handy, that it gets used for storage most of the time.<br /><br />Happy Trails, Penny, TXLakeConroePenny,TXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260039376684295639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550763482629643851.post-77854335548264656472010-10-01T10:50:57.394-05:002010-10-01T10:50:57.394-05:00Love the Airstreams!

Looks like you had a great visit with Hunter, very cool! <br /><br />You have any pics of Pugsy or a link to a blog post about it? I love the old vintage rigs, always love seeing them brought back to life! <br /><br />-Mike<br />97 Roadtrek 170P "Taj Ma Trek"<br />HTTP://WWW.VanTramps.Com~~Mike~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/11357543569009587956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550763482629643851.post-83002377966065358482010-09-30T14:59:52.461-05:002010-09-30T14:59:52.461-05:00What a nice visit with someone you have so much in...What a nice visit with someone you have so much in common with!<br /><br />~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~<br />Karen and Steve<br />(Our Blog) RVing: Small House...

If you know ho...Thank you for your comment, Gypsy.<br /><br />If you know how to back up a 5er, you already know how to back up a TT.<br />Same principle, put one hand at the bottom of the steering wheel, and turn it the way you want the trailer to go.<br /><br />Mostly people have trouble with the little 8' U-Haul type trailers, as they turn so quickly.<br />I do better with my utility trailers, or pop-up trailers, as I can see over them, so I look out of the back window to see where the rear end is going.<br /><br />One thing about the "silver bullet" type trailers is that the older ones are still around. But sometimes that makes them 'vintage', so then they appreciate in value and asking price.<br /><br />After working on RVs since 1968, and seeing what water damage can do, the only other option for me would be a molded fiberglass travel trailer.<br />Such as: http://www.fiberglassrv.com/index.html<br /><br />Of course, all RVs needs maintenance, and inspecting any openings like the clearance lights, windows and roof vents is important.<br /><br />Happy Trails, Penny, TX.LakeConroePenny,TXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260039376684295639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550763482629643851.post-44124104408009813952010-09-29T22:24:47.894-05:002010-09-29T22:24:47.894-05:00About the Airstream, how are they to back up.

That's a big problem I had with the 5th wheel, and most people agree a 5ver is easier to back up than a TT, with the smaller TT's being more difficult. I keep my eye on craigslist in Sac and have seen Airstreams once in a while. I wouldn't mind having one, if I found one I could afford, AND, if I could handle it easy enough.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.com
