Tiny Tent Trailer

Our cross-country plans have changed a bit since we found a candy-apple red, tiny tent trailer on eBay and purchased it last week.  At 50 years old, it qualifies as an antique but the guy we bought it from has refurbished it with a new mattress, new paint job, new cover, new tires and repacked wheel-bearings.  When unfolded there is room inside the tent for a couple of chairs and a table.  It came with a screen room we can put up also.  So now we are planning to stay in the tent trailer instead of motels and take our time across country.  Once in Maine, we will stay in a campground while we work on the boat too.

Getting Started

We're getting ready for our cross country road trip to Maine where we will work on our motor-sailer, Flussmaus (River Rat in German) for a month and then set sail for New York..
