Meet Lady Stella Louise - 1964 Yellowstone Travel Trailer

She is a diamond in the rough!



We have always dreamed of doing a restoration of a vintage RV
....and it looks like now we will get our chance! 
 The end of last month, we acquire this little sweet beauty.  She was found abandoned on an 1 acre track of land located in Burleson County, Texas.  From her license plate, she was last registered in 1995....but oh my goodness....that poor baby has seen some rough times.

 With the door latch ripped off and a missing door window, these ailments were not the worst by far. She was used as a trash bin of the previous owners and it was not a pretty sight. However, the Professor and I could see 'what she could be' through the mud she was buried in, half way up the tires...and we knew she could have a  'Second Chance' at life if we could get to her! So, we made the decision to secure her from the current owner (the local bank) and bring her home. That very day we named her 
Lady Stella Louise -Yellowstone!

The Professor and I have decided to record our journey with Lady Stella Louise via this blog and other means. I will be sharing lots of photos, restoration information, as well as our own thoughts as we go about this project. We would like our readers to follow along  .... we know that our family, friends and many of our RVing buddies will enjoy the journey as much as we do...A journey of LOVE.......
  Feel free to leave comments and suggestions, as we love to hear from you all.

    Hi, Ed. Yes, thank you for the information about the flooring. I am going to try for turquoise and white....but if I have no success on finding it...then I am changing to a red/white. (diamond pattern) so to be continued! Thank you for your help. :-)
