I like how at 3:56 an offhand comment, a parenthetical caption, and six still images are the only mention made to the fact that you ALSO built a Jeep (about eight years ago). Great video! You are truly an inspiration.

The man the myth the legend. He's back

The transformation is unimaginable! It’s hard to believe is the same old camper that once looked beyond repair. This man did an awesome job to be really proud of! It’s like showroom quality.

I just realized you're Buff Dad

I just got a 1952 camper. I've been watching restoration videos for tip and ideas but every video shows a complete teardown and rebuild with new, modern walls, floors, exterior tin,.... everything! Why not just buy an new camper? I LOVE your renovation! It looks like stepping into a 1950's weekend by the lake. Bravo! Beautiful! I adore your camper and can only hope that mine will be as cozy.

I love this! Thank you for taking this old, forgotten trailer, and making it beautiful! I hope that you, and your wife are enjoying the heck out of it 🙂 ☮️💖🙏

This is beautiful. I love the color scheme with the wood interior. Well done!!! ❤

Beautiful work. I’m glad you kept the original aluminum. All of those dings and scratches tell the story of this camper. With a new skin it probably wouldn’t be the same.

Glad you preserved the original character of the trailer. And did not add all the modern day conveniences. Keeps it light and ultimately usable.

When I was around 28, I got a hold of an old 16' trailer like that and updated the inside and I lived in it for a while. My new wife when we got married (I was 30 by then), lived in it for about three or four years, maybe longer, before we got an old Amish built 24 foot trailer we lived in for a few more. I think we lived in the trailers for about 8 years total. That was around 38 years ago when I first got it. Lots of memories!

I thought this would be a mobile gym by the end! lol thank you for the inspiration Duke! I am slowly learning woodworking through the power of the internet and lots of failures. I love it! Despite all the bad in the world, it truly is a great time to be alive.

Susie the Little Blue Coupe is one of my kids and my favorite classic cartoons.

Omg you are so blessed to have found this vintage camper! These things are priceless historical artifacts...thank you so much for restoring it to its former glory! Beautiful job!

Big Duke! Good to see you, brother, that restoration looks incredible! I totally agree with you that we live in a special time. I’m a lefty, and a more artistic type as far as natural proclivities go, but I have no excuse not to fix my own truck, or even mill my own lumber when there is a tutorial for just about everything. I intend on building your half rack after I’ve milled enough wood, so thanks for taking the time to make these videos, brother!

Been uk caravaning for 40 years I own a 30 year old classic whitch we use almost all year round touring. But WHATCHING your video it realy took my breath anyway. What a BEAUTIFUL JOB YOU HAVE DONE. thank you for sharing this with us caravan and camping enthusiast.

Great video!! LOL, you restore my faith that on some of my side projects that I intend to get to later... "That it IS POSSIBLE" to get to later!!!

Thank you for this video. I just bought a 1997 Elddis Wirlwind here in the UK to start start my adventures. Just arrived 2 days ago, so I am cleaning it up and will take my time to transform it with some modern furnishings. It is in really good condition, so I will have a few cramping trips before doing it up🤞

I was deployed when this video came out but man am I glad to see you still living your best life. 🤘🏼

You and your wife did an amazing job on the trailer. I myself had only built small things out of wood, well in 2015-2017 i built a teardrop trailer and i have to tell you i did not know i was capable of building some thing on that level, people say it is the best looking one they have ever seen, what a great feeling.

Awesome! Thanks Duke! We all do better if we ALL do better. Don't Stop :D Thanks again!

Great job , rebuilding a 1969 17 foot corsair right now and watch other builds when not workig on camper , you did awesome ...

Wow! Amazing restore… nice that you kept the western theme alive, modernly updating it would have taken so much away. Incredible when you have the tools and more importantly the TALENT & SKILL what one can accomplish 👍

We need more DIY Duke videos 😀💪

Very inspirational video! Thanks so much. I just found a 1967 Forester 16' "8-Sleeper" for $700 today (with 2 new tires) and it will need an entire new interior, so I appreciate the example & encouragement!

Beautiful. So glad you kept that ice box. It looks fantastic. Im very particular about curtains lol, they just make the atmosphere.

Wow. Nice job. I’ve schooled in building and now I am refinishing my whole old farmhouse. Slowly but surely. Very nice job

Great accomplishment and loved the encouragement for peeps not be afraid to start small and try DIY projects. 👍

Suzy the little blur coupe🤗 What a joy it must have been to see your project take shape. Great, Great job ! We have shows for those old beauties around here.

Finally...someone restored a vintage trailer that actually still looks vintage. Great job.

It is GORGEOUS! I love how you restored it instead of doing a modern renovation.

Beautiful…I love how you kept the original features.

Nice work. I'm working on a 1967 Nomad travel trailer. It's been close to 3 years now and still in the process. It's amazing how you have been able to restore it back to it's vintage look. 👍

A canvas awning would look great that you can hook on & off & store inside your camper while traveling

Well when you got to it the results are excellent. Thanks for posting.

Awesome! Is on my bucket list, restore a camper.

I cant remember subscribing to this man bc he hasnt uploaded for so long

I have a 1971 Bell and getting ready to redo interior. Never done it before and it's intimidating.

What a great theme for the westerner ❤I would love that one for my western art business

Thank you for sharing your build and greetings from Superior Montana

Great content, always enjoy watching your videos. Missed this one 9 months ago. Hope you upload more soon.

So nice Mr. Duke! Very inspiring!!! I Wishing to think how to get one on my 38th birthday! Yep, You are the first phrase i wrote on my 38th birthday! hahaha ! Got to get one of these Vintage Camper! Great work!

Just watched the video. Love it! Great job on the restoration and I love how y'all decorated it! Can't wait to see the tour of the trailer.

I love those vintage campers. That is nice. Beautiful. If I didn’t wear a leg brace I could do that. What satisfaction that would be. A week and and a half ago I bought a 1989 Toyota dolphin RV. The the inside and the engine were rebuilt in 2006. It’s still a little bit dated, but it doesn’t have carpet a bunch of garbage in it. Just needs a cleaning and that’s not that bad, surprisingly . I want to put a 12 V fridge in it. Take out the black water tank in the toilet for a composting toilet and put a new counter in it for now. I have all the solar power devices those are just for emergencies in the house like everybody should have. I can’t use the above the cab bunk so I don’t know what to do with that yet. if there’s a will, there’s a way because that’s what I have had to do all my life, figure it out. I lost my husband and he would’ve figured it out. I will have it done if I can find somebody? That’s not proving to be real easy.

Yes the Buff Dad! because of him I have a wooden rack in my garage where I have my gym.

Your a very kind, funny,and inspirational man Duke. That you for sharing everything you have on KZfaq. Both on this channel and buff dudes.

It came out beautifully! Great job!

The special thing is that you didn't actually modernized the caravan. You kept it that way so that it may look old and give a pretty good old school vibe.

Just found my new favorite channel.

Awesome makeover!😃👍

DUKE IS BACK!!! Love your videos !

Oh my goodness! My brother had suitcases like those when we were growing up - 50 years ago! I love it!!!

We are starting on one. I love your theme.

A huge congratulations sir!! You done a fabulous job on bringing such a beautiful piece of history back to life. It looks absolutely amazing.

FANTASTIC JOB!!

I would love to learn to how to do this kind of stuff.

I loved watching this I have a broke down rv on my property that I think can be worked on some day thanks for sharing

What a great trailer! Amazing you were able to do so much clean work in just a month! Happy trails :)

Well done ! Recently bought a camper!

Great work. Kind regards from across the pond. 👍🏻👊🏻

The only downside to subscribing to DIY Duke is that now KZfaq keeps trying to show me DIY videos that are not from DIY Duke

Incredible, you should be so proud.

Fine looking camper, Congratulations! I liked the suitcases in the background, they looked like they belonged there. Now I'm off to find the interior video.

Great video and I couldn’t agree more about using KZfaq to try new things! I built a teardrop camper from then ground up a couple years ago and it’s been a wonderful thing to own

Great project! I so relate to your comment that projects can sit there on the to do list and never get their turn at bat (how's that for some metaphor mixing!?) I retired three years ago and like the proverbial cobbler turning my attention to my own kids' shoes, I started tackling projects on our old house. While the todo list continues to grow, I do bask in the glory of the completed list too.

Trailer looks awesome! What a great resto. I'm goad you kept as much original as you could, that's the best way to redo these things. Bravo.

Very 😎! I love what you have done and love how you are real about showing the original purpose of the camper.

Great look to the trailer! Awesome job as always Buff Duke!

Great result well done.

I just found your video, and it gives me hope. We just bought a 1967(ish) 19ft kencraft trailer that is in a similar shape as your for $300, and plan on a full restoration as well!

It is good to see the way you finished the trailer - it looks really nice now

You both have done an amazing job with this camper.

Nice Job Duke. Thanks for the inspiration.

What a restoration! It looks awesome!

Maaaan the way you described the condition of the trailer, had me dying laughing ! LOL...

The dents give it character. I miss my 1964 Serro Scotty. There will never be another. 🙁

I'm agog at your restoration of the Jeep and the trailer!

Very, very nice work but how truly inspirational your words of encouragement are.

You did a great job on restoring it, kudos

I have a 67 Serro Scotty and was going to tow it with my Bronco 2 but the spare tire and the bumper hitch made it easier to get in trouble. I use my Volvo with a reciever hitch now getting the ball out from the bumper helps in tight places. I could not tell which you had on your jeep

Looks phenomenal! Good work!

Looks fantastic! Great work DIY Duke, hope you get to enjoy it soon!

Thanks for sharing. Honest and inspirational.

What an awesome job! I have one and it’s completely gutted. I can’t wait to get started with the restoration.

So glad I found your channel,you do great work.will continue to watch your shows.

Amazing work and man skills, just like my husband has. God bless you both. ♥

Buff Dad, you’re awesome, it’s unbelievable that you did it single handedly.

Amazing job! I love what your wife Diane did with the inside theme. It looks so lovely!!

Great job! Can't wait for the next how-it-was done video.

Great encouragement! Also, love the vintage luggage to go with it. :)

Beautiful! Wow! Great job!

Very nice job!

Awesome video! You did a great job! That thing is amazing. Hope you have some fun with it!

Beautiful!!!

It's absolutely adorable. Amazing job on this camper.

There is a really nice park in Plymouth, California. We lived there in an RV. They had a Vintage trailer show! Pretty amazing! 49er RV Village.

Nice work Buff Duke and Buff Mom!

Welcome back!

Nice video 👍🏼

Nice job 🤙 that's the trouble I'm having finding someone who could make the awning . I restored 1960s frolic camper.

wow, very impressive. I think it's gorgeous. The inspiration for the decor was very smart and works beautifully. Way to go. It does seem like they truly built things to last decades ago, more so than they do now. Then again, you make a good point about the helpful people on youtube.
