Never heard of this camper, and have never seen one like it. Looks to be in great shape. What's the inside look like?

It has been completely rebuilt and is in excellent shape. Trailers like this one where the body does not have a fender flare and the wheels are tucked all the way under is rare. One of the reasons you don't see many is they didn't make many because it is a terrible design for the actual towing part. These were really meant to be taken off the axels and permanently placed somewhere.
Interesting history. Did you restore it?

No I bought it restored.

That's sort of like our latest addition, though I wish we had gotten one with slideouts (it's a bit cramped when the neighbors come over):

Is this your primary Tow Vehicle? Keep us posted on your travels!

It will be our primary tow vehicle for a while. We mainly chose it based upon the shower and the toilet (we really didn't need the microwave). And the electric start generator is nice. Plus we can keep the back-up cam on nearly all the time, and we can still fit into two head-on parking stalls. This might just be our chance to really experience all those great Walmarts out there, as there is plenty of power for the margarita blender...

We had a Coachman Leperhaun 220QB for awhile. We have been through a lot of campers, but the Campinn has been through it all. Actually it’s my favorite, Terri prefers the Class A with the fireplace.
So will you still use the CampInn? I'm sure there is a comfy bed in your new rig.

Actually, that is my sister-in-law's rig, which is about as much fun to drive as a U-Haul. She went camping in it once before discovering that she has stage 4 colon cancer. So we are staying with her while she goes through six months of chemo (4 more months to go).
She has a couple of good days at the end of each two week chemo cycle, so we go camping on those days. Since we don't know for certain whether she'll be up to it or not (or what the weather will be like), we have to make plans at the last minute, when the campgrounds are pretty full. It's difficult to get two sites reasonably near one another on such short notice, so it makes sense to tow our camper and camp together on one site. We could all fit in her rig, but the galley sucks, and it just isn't as comfortable as our camper (and we would just as soon walk to the toilet and shower).
A word of caution - camping like this at a private campground can blow some people's minds (it hasn't been a problem at any public campgrounds). One place where we tried to reserve insisted that we'd have to get two campsites, and would have to unhitch the Camp Inn on one site, and park the Minnie Winnie on the other. If we were all in the Minnie Winnie, it would just cost a few extra bucks for a third person...
I apologize for teasing, but I'm too impatient to wait for April Fools Day. Plus, the only other picture that I've seen like this was photo-shopped.
By the way, we sleep in our camper in her garage, opting for the comfort and convenience of our Camp Inn over her guest room.
