silence of time . While other times , I can feel the presence of those who lived here before .

That is the farm , and the spot i bought it from . I would never have moved it from that spot . It is a blessed spot which is up on a hill near Clark's river . I always felt warm and welcome as there was a long history of human presence . Great sun and near water . I am now on my farm which Is also blessed . Finding a presence of Indian tools . Here beside my garden and within walking distance of a cold spring . This is the view from my living room . Which was advertised as a solotairam by vagabond in the 50s .

I posted one two many times and I can't figure out how to delete some post sorry . Where the pine tree is , thats where I bought it . The field and pond is my home thats where I moved it two . And the picture is this morning when I woke up . I'm probably 500 or so feet behind my house . And behind my greenhouse .

I feel sorry for people who, in a lifetime, never slow down enough to absorb the beauty that is around us. Bebop's field and pond is exactly what I am referring to. That never gets old and can even reset a troubled person's life if only they could find a spot like this to just appreciate life and its simple pleasures.

It just says...."ahhhhh"... :)

I feel like the perfect spot is inside ones heart .

That is my vagabond , but I like the way you think . That is the original add on face book . I was wanting a 50s model so I could doll it up in 50s style . The big bay windows is what makes it for me . It gives a huge view of the sky especially when your laying on the couch . It was advertised as a solortairam in the 50s . It was considered a liveable travel trailer . With central heat and all the amenities of a home . This was a huge comfort for those who was trying to have a family and also follow the work . It the 40s in 50s there was a housein shortage around the small towns . Where the big jobs were being built . Such as paducah gaseous diffusion plant , Oakridge Tennessee , Los Alamos , and the other power houses and building that Boomed around the country .

Oops , thats my mom's car , my dad decided to turn into a hot rod . He bought it new in 75 . I wish he would of bought it back stock but you can't tell parents nothing . He's got a head like a jaw breaker and a fist .

Mine is around 8 foot 6 inches wide and 30 foot long measured to the tip of the toung . They did range from smaller camper . To a travel trailer , to a park model , and a full size mobile home . I am not aware if any were self contained with holding tanks ?

Its not easy to find a clear spot to run a strap around the trailer . I feel like it could use one more . I did unscrew one once . I like the location mostly but may move it one more time . A year or two or never which ever comes first .

Yes , last nite it was Brite in the bed room . That back window is like a sky lite . The only quirk is sometimes when it is really cold it will sweat and will drip on you . So I have to keep it dried off .

Hope to have a roof and porch on the Puma this summer also. Nothing cools better than reflecting the heat. The refrigerator and ac will like me for that along with the electric bill.

The AC , up on the roof how will you mitigate that . My 81 Avion needs a new AC Heat pump I guess . I guess it just drains on the roof which seem to me a poor design . I've here tell of split units . Maby on a more park model situation .

Been looking at new thec. I only need ac. The forced air furnace heats the place if the propane tank were only bigger.
In your case a mini split maybe more suitable.

I have that 81 avion . I need to pull the tarps off it . The AC is on the roof . But to my knowledge it drains down on the roof which seems like a bad design . To be honest I need to see if there is some kind of blank off for the 14 x 14 hole in the roof pretty sure . The 52 could maby get a mini split . May be able to put it above the frig .

This 52 had forced heat there is 4 inch run outs . Two in the master bed . I can't remember seeing any others . And the gas furnace was left of the frount door next to the frig . With about a 6 inch flue thru the roof . I guess the water heater was electric under the sink .
