- Come along with us as Cindy and Wilson introduce our channel to her renovated 1968 Shasta Compact camper she has aptly named Sassy! She was several years of work in the making but we enjoy camping in her every chance we get.

I’m with you about the bathroom. If it doesn’t have one I don’t go.. I used to have a boat and we had a porta potty too. But you might think about a composting toilet. Love your renovation.
Wow wow wow… that’s a lot of work but it looks like it paid off!
Really nice job, really brought a vintage back to life!
Many thanks! It a mix of old and new. Can't wait to convert the fridge to 12v and be totally powered off the PPS!
Very cool vintage camper, Cindy!
You two surely endured a lot from that sale. But it's so beautiful and I bet you are a lot stronger because of it. Those trials come to develop deeper strength and wisdom in us... Good success and stay safe.
Thank you for watching. Yes, we went through a lot of ups and downs with jt. Today we just laugh about it and we enjoy camping in Sassy so much it was all worth it!
You need to bring this to a vintage camper rally with my group. David Crockett Birthplace State Park in Limestone TN, the weekend before Halloween.
I would love a video on how you make the awning! Awesome reno!
Thank you for watching. Sailrite has a lot of good tutorial videos on awnings.
Came over from your cross-stitch video. Love, love your camper!!!! Growing up, my family camped in a tent on every vacation rather than staying in motels. As a family of 6, we couldn't afford that luxury!! I loved it, though!!! I miss it so very much!!! You are so very fortunate that you have an extremely handy husband to do all of the renovation on your camper!!!!! Hope you have fun on your trip!!!
I like what you did with the potty closet.
So does Cindy!
Very beautiful design choices.
Thank you very much. We love Sassy!
Love that awning!
Great job guys! Beautiful
Thank you sir. Cindy loves her!
Great camper remodel! NEW sub here. We're getting started on almost the exact same project. Thank you for the inspiration!
Wish you all the best. It will try your patience at times. If you have any questions feel free to reach out. Good luck!
Good to see this finally have heard a lot about it. Nice job you got a great-looking camper there Cindy.
Thanks Moak!
Beautiful Renovation. Have Fun, Be Safe & Healthy ❤ 😊
Thank you very much!
It's just beautiful! I love it that you got a ramp for Wilson! He's so precious.
Thank you very much. Sadly we lost Wilson on Jan 23rd this year. Life just isn't the same without him.
@@adventuresofthememorymakers I'm so sorry to hear of Wilson's passing; I know all too well what you're feeling. I had my little dog for 13 years, got him at 8 weeks old. When his time came, it just about did me in. I still can hardly bear to look at his picture. They can sure leave a hole in your heart that never seems to heal.
@@wendysmobilehomesweethome423 yes they do. I just mowed grass and got chocked up when I went past Wilson's grave. He is right next to his brother Edward, our black lab we lost in 2019. They were quite the pair and are now together forever.
Great job! Looks nice & homey. Congrats!
Beautiful job! I love everything. Lots of talent going on here. You’re way too modest. That canopy is perfect!! I agree the bathroom is the luxury that borders on necessity. We bought our small camper mainly because it had the biggest bathroom. A sweet feature is the ramp for your aging dog. Very nice. :) Congratulations on the completion of your Reno!! Looks great!
Thank you very much. Sadly we lost Wilson in January. Camping just isn't the same without him. Really nothing is right without him.
Great job on the renovation y'all
Thank you
Beautiful little camper. And Wilson looks pretty happy with your set-up!
Wilson loved camping with us. Sadly we lost our camping Buddy in Jan. Camping just isn't the same without him, really, nothing is...
@@adventuresofthememorymakers
I'm so sorry to hear that. He looked like a very happy boy. My condolences.
@@BuzzyStreet , thank you. It's been very hard. He was such a good boy and friend. We miss him every day. 😢
Would love to see how you set up your AC in this Shasta Compact. We are working on redoing a 1972 Shasta Compact frame up and looking for ideas on the best way to install and use an ac.
Very cute. So good that you had a husband that could fix it right.
Beautiful!
Y'all have done a great job. 👍
Thank you, we really love her!
Just found your channels this weekend. As a fellow quilter, embroidery 🧵 and camping enthusiast, seemed a good fit. We bough5 our first camper 2014 finding our best fit was a Airstream Bambi. Bought new at end of season but bought used SUV to tow. Camping out west many times led us to purchase a downsized home out west near Tahoe in 2019. You did a fantastic job on your vintage camper Reno.
Thank you very much for you comment. Sounds like an awesome setup. We are hoping to get out your way next year as Cindy really wants to check out Crater Lake and I want to kayak with the whales in the San Juan islands. We're heading up to the northeast corner this year. Go to check out the north woods and the Catskills. Happy camping and Stitch On!
@@adventuresofthememorymakers If you both love kayaking, don’t miss the Adirondacks especially Franklin County. Beautiful country we enjoyed along with New England states when we lived back east.
@@teddygingerbear1372 thank you for the suggestion. We will have to check it out
She's beautiful! Fantastic job! Enjoyed the tour... 🌸
Thank you very much. We are really enjoying her!
This is very cool, and I love the Spoonflower shoutout - they're from my hometown!
Cindy is a big fan of Spoonflower!
Great meeting both of you at yellow wood. Couldn’t believe how much we had in common. Camper looks great. Need a 68 station wagon to tow it. New project for Sam. Hopefully you left before the wind. I finished the hike but are my feet sore.
Great meeting you as well! Any chance you left a lightweight tent stake behind? I have it for you if you did but wasn't sure how to track you down.
It was on the table when I arrived. Thanks tho
@@dwightpierce6028 , gotcha, I picked it up thinking it was yours. Was hoping we might cross paths again so I could get it to you.
I saw you disappear into the trees on the wear side of the dam Friday morning as you were heading out
Check out sailing fair isle. You’ll like their style. They remind me of you 2. Fun couple. Touristy and technical videos and really nice sailboat.
@@dwightpierce6028 will do, thanks!
Beautiful job!
Thank you!
Am so impressed with your all's vision and execution --- first-class! Love the old Shastas so a pleasure to see them out and about.. And a ramp for the pupster -- he's a doll and a lucky boy! I have subscribed and look forward to your future content. I'm a former teardrop owner (2007-17) and after several intervening years of tent camping am shopping for a truck and canopy camper and trying to figure out whether to get another trailer -- teardrop, Aliner, cargo-conversion (to haul a motorcycle, bicycle, canoe). That Dickinson heater is impressive, I first saw them used in Alu-Cab canopy campers and did not know that they were designed for boats. Very nice craftsmanship configuring it for your Shasta.
Thank you very much for the nice comment.
Sam sounds like a real handyman.
Hi! Wonderful trailer! What toilet do you have? Thanks!
We have Thetford 5 gal porta potty. It's a nice size but the release button leaks. We can't get just that part and have to replace the whole top half!
It's rather awkward 2c the heater over the padded bench. Isn't it a fire hazzard?
Heat rises, so the padded bench never gets any warmer than room temp. The heater had specific offset distances away from combustible material that we met when we installed it. It was designed to be used on sailboats in cramped confines, so it works well in a tiny camper. It's definitely not for everyone, but we love it!
How much$?
We spent so much time and money on Sassy that she has a forever home in our toy box.
