Making a List...

I wish I would have started this blog a little sooner - to keep track of all the trailers and prices and frustration; but as I'm still trailer-less, now is as good a time as any.

I've responded to numerous Craigs List ads...too many to remember. What I do remember, is that I actually received responses back from 4 sellers. None of the others bothered.

• I got excited about a Shasta just outside of Orlando - exterior was sooo cute - but interior photos told a sad story. Figured we could have picked her up when we're down there at the end of the month. Didn't think to save the photo.

• Seriously considered a Shasta Astrodome in Wisconsin (now sold) but was finally convinced that the Astrodome would likely be a towing issue for me, so I passed. Bought by a member of VSTF - so hopefully we'll get some updates on it.

• Still trying to track down a CL poster on a trailer in Michigan but looks like that's a dead end. Sad, too. Year, price and location all worked.

• Talked with a restorer/reseller in Michigan about a little Fleetwing.  I liked it a lot and probably would have bought it by now if I'd gotten answers to the the questions I had. None of the questions were deal-breakers for me. [edit] After I typed this post; I received an email from the seller answering my questions - so this is still a definite 'maybe'.

Still Possible:
Waiting to hear back on a Shasta Airflyte that's way too pricey but still on the list.
Watching an EBay listing for a really cool small trailer. Not a Shasta but it's cute. Not close but I might have a way to get it home for not much money.
Deal in the working stages for a non-Shasta, in the process of being totally restored. I love the thought of this trailer. Hoping the restorer doesn't get it complete until next year. :)

Thoughts:
Thinking if the Shasta Airflyte falls through, I'll go for the EBay trailer - providing it doesn't get bid way up, keep it as our restore project and wait for the non-Shasta to be finished. IF, and that's a big IF, the Shasta becomes available and I can get it for the right price, it still needs restoration - and it's too nice for us to practice on. That kind of takes away my thoughts of a restore project - but maybe that's a good thing?
