Late 50's vintage HI-LO Camper FS or Trade
This was going to be a project for me and the ol' lady but I'm not gonna be able to get to it for a while. It was made between 1957 and 1960 by the Snyder Trailer Company in Butler, OH which changed it's name to HI-LO Trailer Company in 1960. They are still around today. They are known for making this style of pop-up camper which is unique in it's design. It is a hard top with classic camper styling that collapses for easy towing and storage. It is compact in size (the box measures 9' x 6.5') so it would be great to tow behind a vintage vehicle.
This camper is a good example of their early design. It resembles most small campers of the era with aluminum skin and birchwood interior. It has a collapsible booth table which becomes a bed, sink, gas stove heater & refrigerator, and birch cabinets. It is in need of full restoration. The ceiling & upper cabinets have some water damage from the roof vent leaking, and one of the cables/pulleys will need repaired for the crank up/down mechanism to work. Until that is fixed it is stuck in the "up" position. It does need a lot of work, but it is definitely salvageable and would be one of the most unique vintage travel trailers out there. I towed it about 10 miles to my house and it pulled great. The lights & wiring will need gone through and tires will need replaced before towing it any long distances. I was asking $400 on the other boards, but I am willing to deal with friends. It needs to go. Open to interesting trades too! Let me know. Thanks...
