1972 Kit Companion SC2000 20' travel trailer. Ideal for a portable workshop, spare bedroom, or camping.
Located in Port Ludlow (98365), this trailer had been my full-time abode from 2002 through last month. It is dry and comfy. It features a Traveller 4-burner stove & oven, a LP furnace that does not require electricity to operate, and a GE refrigerator that cools perfectly. The refrigerator is two-way (LP & 120v) but I've only ever run it on 120v. It works flawlessly and while there is some cosmetic surface rust on the frame (see pics), there is no moldy smells or weird stains. It holds quite a bit, too! There's one more shelf/rack for it, stored under the sink right now.
Lots of windows let in a lot of light, two roof vents that crank up for ventilation in the summer. The LP furnace is supplemented by a standard electric space heater with remote thermostat.
I have changed the layout a bit for my own use. The dinette area is now a 7' heavy desk/work area. It's 1-1/8" plywood, very sturdy. The shiny aluminum thing on the end of the bench is a turntable/swivel. I built that to put a TV on and be able to rotate it, but I never did actually use it for that.
The bed area is now extended to allow queen-sized bedding. It's far & away more comfortable with a queen-size mattress etc!
And an additional heavy shelf above the bed area was my microwave/pantry/printer area.
The original, tiny shower that was only suitable if you were a ten-year-old has been removed, opening up the space for storage and other uses.
The last time I moved it more than 100' was in 2003, and it towed beautifully, with all lights working. I've never had an opportunity to use the electric brakes, but it is equipped with them. Comes with two 10-gallon LP tanks, and the auto switchover valve works well.
(yes, it has not had its annual pressure-washing yet this year)
The water heater is a Mobil-Temp, is 6-gallon capacity and works great; it recently got a lot of attention. More info on that is here: http://nissandiesel.dyndns.org/viewtopic.php?t=2216.
The double basin sink is stainless steel. The countertop is in good condition. Note the factory-supplied LP mantle lamp on the wall above the stove. When the power goes out, that one LP lamp supplies a LOT of light!
This trailer did have a roof leak before 1995, so there is some evidence of very old water damage that is largely cosmetic.
The floor was rebuilt by me in the entryway and closet in 2003, and a soft section of roof support replaced at that time. There has been NO water entry since then. The original linoleum was in very good condition when I bought it for $1000 in 2003, but years of rolling an office chair over it has bubbled up two spots where the wheels rolled.
The floor is plywood and is very, very solid, much firmer than other trailers I've been in that use particle board.
The toilet is a Thetford Aqua Magic Galaxy IV and is ready to be replaced, but does operate OK now (with caveats). I do have a brand-new replacement toilet available, which I was planning to install, new in the box and with a receipt; if you're interested in it, I'll make you a heck of a deal on it :)
I do have the door to the bathroom (with a mirror); it's in storage. As I lived alone, the door was always open and just was annoying when entering or leaving the trailer, so I took it off. It's in good shape.
The holding tank has been retrofitted with RV holding tank nozzle kits on the side to aid in clearing debris. The tank dump valve was updated in 2003 and is a Valterra with a modern, bayonet style hookup.
While the 12v electrics may work, I've never used them. The water pump and 40 gallon fresh water tank are installed, but I haven't used either of them since 2003.
It is wired with TWO 120v circuits; one ran the computer equipment, the other everything else.
No paperwork snafus: I have the title and it's in my name.
The hitch uses a standard 2" ball. Here are some pics of the OEM wiring connector (that includes the electric brakes), and an adapter I made back in '03 to run just the lights.
The 6x6x18" pressure-treated wood cribbing can be yours too, if you wish. Cribbing the trailer this way makes it very, very solid and house-like. I also have three vintage aluminum "leveling jacks" (jack-stands) for casual camping use. They can be used when camping, to reduce rocking when moving around in the trailer. If, like me, you intend to leave it in one place and use it, cribbing it up will reduce suspension sagging over time, and makes the overall experience much nicer. I paid over $150 for this cribbing in '03.
The door is equipped with a Schlage locking knob and a Dexter double-sided deadbolt. These are residential-style, unlike many RVs that have special, lightweight locking hardware.
If you want the "porch" and step (and doormat), they're yours. I had the porch custom made last summer. It's just a plywood box, but you'd be surprised at how much easier it is to get in and out with it.
The tires are old. It does have a spare. If you're planning on camping with it, you'll definitely want to replace the tires. They have plenty of tread, but are vintage. Suitable for moving it to your locale, but not for extended travel.
This is a good, dry, non-smelly older travel trailer that is a good extra bedroom for visiting friends, a workshop, or use it as it was intended, for camping.
It's in a trailer court (as shown, yes, with a lawn) in Port Ludlow now; it will be moved Sunday, 27Jun, to another location, probably Marrowstone Island, unless it's sold this weekend.
I can arrange to transport it to your location, with suitable planning. If it's more than 20 miles from Port Ludlow, we'll have to talk about additional funds to cover the cost.
