1959 Scotsman travel trailer beautifully restored for new life

By Cheri Sicard
In the video below, Rob the Rebuilder shares his latest masterpiece, a beautifully restored 1959 Scotsman travel trailer. And it happens to be for sale, should you fall in love with it.

Revamping the Scotsman travel trailer interior

The trailer looks in decent shape at the video’s start, but Rob says small updates can make a big difference in comfort and style and make it even better.

Sometimes, a happy camper means a happy wife! The main reason for adding curtains was that Rob’s wife wanted them. He salvaged the curtain rods from other trailers to save some money. The curtains really change the look and feel of the camper and add privacy and a touch of coziness.

No camper is perfect, especially a vintage one. A little paint can go a long way. He painted the trim pieces black to create a more cohesive look.

Appreciating the Scotsman’s Charm

This vintage camper has so much character. The exterior aesthetics are classic, and there’s a feeling of pride in the camper’s design.

Overall, Rob was happy with how everything turned out.  With the curtains installed and the trim looking sharp, this vintage camper is ready for camping season.

Before anyone tackles restoration on one of these ancient relics be advised, and prepared to remove the outer metal skin to expose all the frame work and what little insulation these things had. Been there…done that.
