The trailer photos have me thinking of a new business.....grab up a bunch of old travel trailers, strip off the bodies and make utility trailers out of them. There is always a demand for those.

There have been several pop ups around here years back that were converted into utility trailers. Usually just the right size to tow by the 'standard' underpowered econobox of the 1980s and '90s. The best were the hard sided Apache's. I wish I had one now since the woods in back of us were sold and $$$ homes built too close to dump most of my yard waste.

This is in Boone NC
It looks like the brand is a BARTH.
Not in bad shape but been there a long time.

Very cool. That one would be a great restore project. Barth was a well built coach, high quality in their time, and they are sought after today.

Did not have time to take a picture but in SC north bound side of 95 just before exit 141 there is a fenced in yard full of Spartan trailers. If someone passes by there please post a picture.

I had to go through all of the posts to make sure no one posted a picture of my 5th wheel.
I need to get out and exert some elbow grease and get her ready for this summer.

Gosh, I so sorry to hear about the heart attack! I wish you a speedy recovery so you can get back to a normal way of life for you. BTW, what is the meaning of that dirty 4 letter word called 'work' you used?
Get well my friend
