U-Haul actually made rental fiberglass campers in the 1980s and sold them out to private buyers in 1992. I'll give you some history behind these cute little vintage rigs called a CT-13, how I found mine, and what I paid for it, and a tour. I know, right?! I had no idea they existed either until I got one either!!

@@cindyr.williams607 Thank you so much for the insight! I ended up using RTV to rebuild the gasket. It is one solid gasket that houses the lights, so this was a makeshift solution. It came out okay, but now that I have something to build off of, the silicone may do the trick!

I used to clean RVs for UHaul back in the 80's so I saw plenty of these. I'm glad you added the air conditioner and ceiling fan as condensation was a big problem. Moisture would roll off the ceiling and walls. Bet you don't have any roof leakage problems as most other trailers do. You've got this one decorated so cute. Love it!

@tennesseewanderer 9 ай бұрын

That's so cool! I'd love to pick your brain for the things that I missed or was unaware of in the original condition of these campers! The only leaks I am still struggling with are the occasional window leaks. Really neat that you know these campers inside and out. They are the gem of the small fiberglass campers. 💛

@JimmPratt 8 ай бұрын

For your lights - you should be able to find something along the lines of 'liquid gasket' or even better generic gasket material that you can trim to fit and just screw in place in between light cover and camper body.. Auto-parts places, Home Depot, etc., should be able to help with that. Or any place that does camper window installations, or even an auto mechanic shop with someone that knows what they are doing. Great camper! Keep up the content!

Black RTV sealant(Momentive RTV103). Pull cover off first and inspect condition of terminals while your at it, you want to address any corrosion while your there. I have my high mount brake light on my truck cab sealed with it after I found water intrusion from a failed gasket around the housing and it has been dry since I did the seal job 8-10 years ago.

If you want to remove the lamps in future, make a seal out of a rubber sheet, or if you don't, just use silicon in a tube, it's cheap from any home depot type of store.

I Worked for UHaul during the time these were rented. A LOT of enginerring went into the manufacture of these as well as all of the UHaul equipment. There was NO AC in these units at that time and they could really get warm inside in the Sun Shine. You really got a buy when you found this unit..

Great job on her, decor is cute. Love the boho look. How did you hang stuff on the walls? We just brought a burro 1983, which is needing redone including fiberglass repair and back-end wood repair. Outside needs paint job. We have all original refrigerator, fiberglass doors, stove, fan. The doors are painted blue original coat. Cleaned one up and polished her and it looks beautiful.

I worked at the Tallahassee, Fl. U-haul for a few months in 1987. They had one of these U-haul minicampers, and a U-haul small aluminum boat/trailer. Neither ever got rented while I worked there. 😒

@tennesseewanderer 3 ай бұрын

Thanks so much for sharing that! Yeah, I think U-Haul was waaaay ahead of their time with this one. That's my belief as to why they probably sold them out. They streamlined their business to become more profitable with moving equipment instead.

I bought one of these, mines a 1987, U-Haul campers in 2002. I bought it from an old lady who had it in a garage sale for $250. I had to replace the axle as the original was bent, that was $450, and fix a crack in the fiberglass but that was no big deal. I've used it extensively since. It tows like nothing is behind you and i can tow it with my truck the wife's RAV-4. It's a really neat little camper and I would only part with it for a big price. It works perfect for my wife and I. I aided a mini fridge. 4000 BTU mini-split AC/heat pump and replaced the sink pump and a few other odds and ends but, it is a great little camper.

I'm with you on it taking a hefty price to part with it. I'm so emotionally attached to mine. What a cool story on how you acquired yours. Glad you were able to restore it and give it a second wind. What a deal! 💛 Safe travels!

@tennesseewanderer 8 ай бұрын

I'm sure any co-op would have them. I haven't used the pellets, but people swear by them because you can just toss the whole bag when it needs to be changed. The pellets turn into sawdust when they get wet and most people say it's very low odor. Hope that helps!
