Other Shit I Sold

 This is another one of those posts that doesn't really count, since I'm just reposting something I wrote somewhere else at some other point in time. To be fair, I did have to completely re-type this. If you work with me, you probably saw this one already. I thought it was pretty funny.

It's a 1976 Kaplan pop up tent trailer, according to the insurance slip. My brother think's it's a Jayco, but he's probably wrong. It is roughly 8 feet by 6.5 feet when folded. This thing is so light that you could probably pull it with a bike. When set up, it has a roughly 4 foot by 6 foot bed on each side, and an 8 foot by 6.5 foot middle area. When you math those numbers together, it works out to over 90 square feet of trailer!

The canvas has seen better days, which I guess was like 30 years ago. It has a few tears and holes. I just threw a tarp over it. Problem solved. When the trailer is folded up, it doesn't let any water in. The tires hold air, and have less than 1000 kms on them. The axle also turns freely. It has a spare tire, which is just a good idea.

This trailer is simple to set up. Just pull down the stand on each corner to stabilize the trailer. Then you have to manually push up the roof. It's not the kind that has a crank. That takes all the fun out of it. The roof is held up by 4 folding poles that lock into place. Then you put the door in place, pull out the 2 beds and lock them into place, and suddenly you have a swinging trailer. It is super easy to set up.

It's a basic tent trailer, with 2 beds, a sink in the middle, a few cupboards and storage areas, and a table that connects to the outside of the trailer. I have never used the sink, so I'm not entirely sure it works when you hook it up to a water supply. The mystery is part of the fun! It also has a propane hook-up on the front, but I'm pretty sure there isn't a stove in there. I guess the propane connection is more of a decoration.

The trailer sleeps 4, but I bet if you try, you could sleep like 12 people in there. The beds have all sorts of cushions to simulate the experience of sleeping on a piece of plywood with thin cushions on it. How they pulled that one off with 70's technology, I'll never know.

Email me, at garetseman@hotmail.com, for some pictures, which I have taken at weird angles using the sepia filter on my cell phone. That makes them artistic. I can take black and white out of focus pictures as well, upon request. Or call me whenever at 990-4278, if you want to check it out.

All of this can be yours for a mere 400 dollars! I will consider any reasonable offer, and consider many offers reasonable. I would also consider a straight up trade for a utility trailer. Act fast and I will throw in a block of wood to prop the trailer up with! 

I really like the pictures, even if I don't actually know how to take out of focus pictures with my camera. I never claimed to be a photographer, because I don't have an instagram account. As with most examples of photographic art, these pictures are totally useless, and when criticized as such, I can claim "you just don't get my art", as if looking at pictures requires years of study.

 When I was outside taking these pictures, the Google streetview van passed. Maybe one day this shitty trailer will be on there too.
