Aluminum kin - Funny ad

Used Airstream-like Trailer That Rocks the Kazba - British Columbia Travel Trailers, Campers For Sale - Kijiji British Columbia Canada.

I don't know the make and model, but the ad is pretty funny! Let's just say the owner doesn't try to make it sound better than it is!

My guess is that it's a Spartan Manor... Not 100% sure though. That trailer was once a beauty - it will take a lot of elbow grease and $$$ to bring it back to life. I hope he's able to sell it or at least give it to someone.

I like the guys sense of humor, kind of like Monty Hall with a bit of darkness.

It's tough to find trailers in that condition. Luckily... If you could find more of those, I see potential to start a small buy-here, pay-here rolling meth lab sales business...

That's a Vagabond, even rarer and if possible cooler than a Spartan.

Here is what they looked like new.

1953 Vagabond 35

Note the resemblance of the interior as well as exterior.

Oh man, that yellow one is pretty sweet! Look at those windows! I wish I could head up to BC and rescue that other one from the black bear right now

Line from The Long Long Trailer as Lucy is being carried into her New Moon:

(Marjorie Main Introducing fellow trailerite) "And this is the big Airways Vagabond next door"

(Lucy) Hello Mrs. Vagabond.

Yeah look at the second last picture, who picked those colors fuschia chartreuse and putty green.

But they are authentic, check out this ad from when they were new.

I think those colors are what I love most of all! All the RVs today are so conservative and boring, why not brighten up the park with a putty green mobile mansion?

...with spacious tub that can comfortably accomodate 2 or more halflings...
$900 sounds a bit steep and I don't know if the local halflings carry that kind of change in their pocketses. I hope the seller is flexible enough on the price to find a new owner.

That has got to be the best trailer ad I have ever read. No sugar coating or "A little TLC and this will be a showplace" stuff. This person should get some kind of award for this ad.
