WE BOUGHT THE SMALLEST CAMPER EVER! //1983 Ashford Travel Trailer FULL TOUR

After playing around with the idea of purchasing a van, we came across this tiny vintage teardrop travel trailer on Facebook Marketplace. This is a 1983 Ashford Camper and once we saw it we knew we had to have it!

In this video, we pick up our camper and give you a full tour of this tiny home on wheels! Then, we head straight to the mountains to test out our new tiny camper.

Stay tuned for more videos!

The rear kitchen is pretty cool. I think I'd put some kind of retractable screen and/or curtain between the kitchen and the sleeping area.

I also think two doors on the rear would be better than one big door.

For coffee, I'd probably get a French press or moka pot, so you can just make coffee with the stove.

Congratulations on your new camper!! Can't wait to see the refurberation process! Have fun!

Looked like your ball hitch wasn't fully seated into the coupler, be careful to check that before pulling and spray White Lithium grease or WD40 in the coupler to make sure the catches move properly. Also with the safety chains ⛓️, cross them in a "X" (right side chain hooked on left catch, left on right) under the coupler so that if the trailer comes loose from the ball hitch the chains act as a cradle to help catch the coupler, keep it from slamming into the pavement and limits how much it can move side to side so it doesn't turn sideways and flip. If the chains hang very low give them a few twists so they not only shorten up and don't drag the ground but if the trailer comes loose it keeps it from swaying back and forth as much as you slow to a stop. Just leave enough slack so they don't get bound up in a tight turn maneuver. If it ever does comes loose DON'T hit the brakes hard!! Just slow to a stop a little at a time or it's going to slam your car and cause some bad damage. A lot of couplers have a loop or bent metal skid plate on the bottom so it can slide along the road until you stop without digging into the pavement, if yours doesn't I would recommend either replacing it with one that does or having someone weld one on. Nice little trailer you found! I would add a mosquitoe net behind the shelf so as you're cooking the bugs don't go inside to the lights. If you add a sink and water tank, put the tank under the trailer in front of the axles so the weight stays centered and doesn't cause the trailer to weave back and forth.

I'm only ½ way through watching the 1st video about Frodo. I already feel a sense of kindred spirits. My late husband and I were both lifelong campers, explorers and tourists. I look forward to seeing where your adventures will take you!

Frodo on the roads - what a treat! You guys gonna have a blast with that one.
I had a similar camper back in 1988-89. It was a homemade build from a carpenter friend and I paid him with 3 bottles of Rum and 24 cans of beers. I did Scandinavia and a bit of Europe with mine.
