A neighbor of mine has a camper with the wings in his front yard.  Showed up around Christmas time.  I was told he bought it for the kids as a 'playhouse'.  Has a drop cord running to it.  Lucky kids.  I remember when I was a kid we had an old Scotty camper.  We had stopped camping and the camper sat in the yard for years before my parent sold it.  Boy, what fun I had playing in that thing!]]> Thu, 03 Mar 2011 20:59:43 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1620&PID=13865#13865 1965 Shasta Camper : Originally posted by AvalancheRpodnice... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1620&PID=13858#13858 Author: photog

Maybe putting the wings on the side of the Pod would alleviate the vaccum issue that some think is plaguing the towing MPG's.

I showed my wife the picture of the r-pod with the wings on it and then picked up the set of wings I have here and she told me no way were they going on the r-pod!  Then she said "Find some other camper to put it on"  So I guess thats here way of saying I can have a third camper sitting in the back.  :)Thumbs Up]]> Wed, 02 Mar 2011 00:24:31 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1620&PID=13838#13838 1965 Shasta Camper : Thanks for solving the mystery,... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1620&PID=13823#13823 Author: Guests

A few years ago Coachman tried resurrecting the Shasta with an Airflyte model that was 17 feet long. I was really interested in the vintage look but when we went to look at it was very disappointed. Aside from being way overpriced ($20,000), it shared the only bed with the dining table. Here's a link to the website -->> http://squob.com/travel_trailers/new-shasta-our-friends-electric/

I bought the dvd for that movie and watched it again recently.   I will be taking it to the eastern roundup in KY if anyone wants to borrow it.    I love it.
We went to an RV show today  in Maryland and loved looking at all the trailers.

this camper did have a title up to two years ago when the seller took the vin plate off the camper and put it on another camper to sell.  State of Pa will issue a new title for the camper but will not issue it as a 1965 but as a 2011 camper.  Also it would be considered a home built unit and requires all kinds of paper work and inspections to get them to issue it.  I did it for another camper I was working on restoring and found when I went to get rid of it I lost money on it as the people paying good dollars want the real title.

Yes the shasta's did have wings on some of the model.

This one is a good unit to resore as the people did do some work on it but made it modern.  I would gut and strip to restore back to the 60s.

We do car titles in our office.  I know every state is different, but if you really want it, there should be a way.  We bought an old camper in Missouri for our kids to use and it did not have a title.  We got them to come down in price $100 because that is what the Bonded Title cost that we had to buy.

There is a way to get a title. Check the vintage trailer site. Some older trailers did not have titles. Looks great!

The title for the Shasta trailer you're interested in went with a different trailer? Sounds like the Shasta is now useful only as a yard ornament, or maybe a deer blind.

I went today to make the deal and found out there is no title to it.  He sold it with another trailer.  I could register it as a self made trailer but then the title would show as a 2011 trailer.  Not wothy the $$$$ he is asking and feel he may have a hard time selling it.
