1964 Lazy Daze Tiki Room

1964 Lazy Daze Mr. Ranger and I bought for $900 in 2008.  I got tired of waiting for the Airstream Dream to be finished and after our last  disastrous camping trip in a tent that involved snow and no coffee, I said I want a trailer NOW.  So we combed ebay and the canned ham's were soooooo expensive.  We found this beauty on Craigslist.  It was love at first site.  Now, we are a family of four and this is a 12 foot long trailer that probably most comfortably slept 1 and a half.  Mr. Ranger is well over 6 ft and I am 5'8" and you can tell by the picture of my backside down below, that I have never in my life been described as petite.  

So Mr. Ranger set out to work.  He gutted the inside. 

Here he is revamping the floor plan to put in a master bed.  

Ha, funny honey...you keep wishing.  

Here's the kitchenette/nightstand/island.  That little turquoise stove worked GREAT!  We made many a good meal in that little stove.  That baby could put out some heat.   It had an ice box too.

  Originally there was just a shelf above the dinette.  He ripped it out and put in a bunk bed for Yogi.  Yogi's the only one skinny enough to fit up there.  Every once in a while we'd hear him bump his head when he was turning over in the night.  We all busted out laughing.  

Kitchenette all cleaned up.  Isn't it cute?

 Here's the view of the dinette that made into a small bed where Booboo slept.  The bunk above is put up to store sleeping bags and stuff while traveling.  I covered it in bamboo place mats.

 

 Yep, see...not petite!

 

 Here it is, all decked out.  I loved this little trailer, but it got to be just too small for a growing family of four.  Everywhere we camped in it, people asked to see inside.  

We even had astro-turf and a flamingo to put outside.

 It went to a good home.  I know it's happy.  It made me happy!
