A house crush on wheels
A Colorado couple renovated this 1968 Serro Scotty camper to unplug and explore hidden corners of the West. The tiny trailer (it has about 100 square feet of interior space) can fit places many others can’t — and is right at home our beloved category of iconic, retro-yet-fresh campers.
Beam me up, Scotty.
I love your Scotty. I am fixing up a Frolic and I am almost ready to hit the road!

My two girls have started a great scott pigy bank in order to have one someday.
For a great resource on finding, fixing and re-imagining these classic Serro Scotty trailers, go to http://www.nationalserroscotty.org. We just purchased a 1964 Scotty Sportsman two days ago, and are prepping to begin a restoration; your article offers both ideas and inspiration! Tim V., Stockton, CA
Thanks Tim! Good luck with the renovation – and stay tuned, we’ll have plenty more camper inspiration in the future.
Photo’s much better here. Why did the magazine show the interior like in a fish bowl?
Wish they would have showed the shower. LOL
Baaa! Loving this. On my running route each morning I see this vintage camper that is in need of a makeover. Since it hasn’t moved in like 2 years I think maybe I can give them a low ball offer
Glad you liked it! If you go for it, send us pictures.
I have a cute little 77 Scotty Gaucho.. her name is Ten Gallon Hattie.
I’ve always dreamed of doing this–crossing the country slowly in a camper. What an amazing experience! The camper seems like just the right size for me on my solo travel adventures. Thanks so much for sharing this!
We’re so glad it inspired you! Think half the staff here is ready to run off into the night with one of these campers in tow.
Very cute! And this article inspired me to paint my interior when I’d been so worried about maintaining the “originality.” I own a 1967 Aristocrat LoLiner and it is very similar to the Scotty. I am having a blast fixing up the interior and my husband has been working his butt off to learn “all about wiring”. I can’t say he’s having as much fun as me. She needs a new axle too. Just remember, like with a vintage car, it’s always going to be “a project”. If you’re into that, and have time for it, great. But don’t rush into it… learn a little first. It looks awesome, but it’s not for the faint of heart!
Very good point. We imagine these are very much labors of love! Feel free to send us photos when you’re done with the renovation, we’d love to see it.
