Up for sale is a '79 8' tent trailer. It is in a bit of rough shape, but works just fine. There were some rips in the canvas, but they have all been repaired. Just not the prettiest trailer in the park.
Has a 3 burner stove and sink and can sleep 6. I have made a few modifications to the trailer as I am over 6 feet tall and the bed as it was, was not long enough for me, so with a couple changes, you can be near 7 feet, and fit fine.
There are a couple minor things that need to be looked at. I have not checked the plumbing for water in this. the sink has an electric pump, but I don't know if it works, nor if the holding tank has any leaks. In the 2 years I have had it, I have never had the need to find out.
I regreased and repacked the bearings and hubs on it last year, has a new this year 20lb propane tank, and a new (this year)deep cycle battery. Has a AM/FM casette radio player and 12V outlets and master kill switch. Also has front storage bin.
This trailer tracks great, and yet to let us down. I would keep it, but the wife wants an actual holiday trailer for next year, so i gotta get rid of 1.
Asking $500, price is not really negotiable unless you have a trailer and looking to downsize. Trailer I think is priced properly for it's age and what it needs.

I don't really have much better pictures than that, but If I go camping again next weekend, I will be sure to take a few more.
