boler: the life of a vintage trailer

It's all in the details! The kitchen has so much storage - super useful - we love it. . #tipsytheboler #boler #renovation #fiberglasstrailer #bolerreno #camping #vintagetrailer #fiberglassrv #camper #vintagecamper #travel #tinyhouse #fiberglass #reno #campinglife #bolertrailer #rvreno #fixerupper #traveltolive #traveltrailer #shoptime #traileriverhaul #vintagebeauty #bolerlife #boler1300 #gettingthingsdone #original1972 #boleroverhaul https://www.instagram.com/p/CocwFgCJhC1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Windows! Tipsy has brand new tinted windows - and we added in a few extra so we could see out every side. It's awesome! . #tipsytheboler #boler #renovation #fiberglasstrailer #bolerreno #camping #vintagetrailer #fiberglassrv #camper #vintagecamper #travel #tinyhouse #fiberglass #reno #campinglife #bolertrailer #rvreno #fixerupper #traveltolive #traveltrailer #shoptime #traileriverhaul #vintagebeauty #bolerlife #boler1300 #gettingthingsdone #original1972 #boleroverhaul https://www.instagram.com/p/CoSc5-NvY89/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here is the back table conversion into a bed. We had a permanent bed in Tipsy's first overhaul and went back to the dual purpose - love it so much better now that we're short haul campers! . #tipsytheboler #boler #renovation #fiberglasstrailer #bolerreno #camping #vintagetrailer #fiberglassrv #camper #vintagecamper #travel #tinyhouse #fiberglass #reno #campinglife #bolertrailer #rvreno #fixerupper #traveltolive #traveltrailer #shoptime #traileriverhaul #vintagebeauty #bolerlife #boler1300 #gettingthingsdone #original1972 #boleroverhaul https://www.instagram.com/p/CoIJu2vJxjC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The front couch also converts into a bunk! When we're camping for a longer period of time we often set up the bunk so we have some added storage space up top. . #tipsytheboler #boler #renovation #fiberglasstrailer #bolerreno #camping #vintagetrailer #fiberglassrv #camper #vintagecamper #travel #tinyhouse #fiberglass #reno #campinglife #bolertrailer #rvreno #fixerupper #traveltolive #traveltrailer #shoptime #traileriverhaul #vintagebeauty #bolerlife #boler1300 #gettingthingsdone #original1972 #boleroverhaul https://www.instagram.com/p/CoAbWB2v_42/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The front couch is Daphne's spot - our hound dog loves to perch her head on the top of the couch and peer outside. Plus, it's a great little space to sit and lace up hiking boots, or toss a hoodie after you get the morning fire going. . #tipsytheboler #boler #renovation #fiberglasstrailer #bolerreno #camping #vintagetrailer #fiberglassrv #camper #vintagecamper #travel #tinyhouse #fiberglass #reno #campinglife #bolertrailer #rvreno #fixerupper #traveltolive #traveltrailer #shoptime #traileriverhaul #vintagebeauty #bolerlife #boler1300 #gettingthingsdone #original1972 #boleroverhaul https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn4s9PIKBof/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The kitchen has enough prep space to make a nice dinner if we get caught in the rain, yet also offers enough storage that camping items are neatly tucked away - super-duper important when we're camping in a smaller space! . #tipsytheboler #boler #renovation #fiberglasstrailer #bolerreno #camping #vintagetrailer #fiberglassrv #camper #vintagecamper #travel #tinyhouse #fiberglass #reno #campinglife #bolertrailer #rvreno #fixerupper #traveltolive #traveltrailer #shoptime #traileriverhaul #vintagebeauty #bolerlife #boler1300 #gettingthingsdone #original1972 #boleroverhaul https://www.instagram.com/p/CnuZxzfv8Lj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The fans! They keep us cool and make just the right amount of white noise to keep Daphne (our Afghan Hound) from thinking every forest noise is scary. . #tipsytheboler #boler #renovation #fiberglasstrailer #bolerreno #camping #vintagetrailer #fiberglassrv #camper #vintagecamper #travel #tinyhouse #fiberglass #reno #campinglife #bolertrailer #rvreno #fixerupper #traveltolive #traveltrailer #shoptime #traileriverhaul #vintagebeauty #bolerlife #boler1300 #gettingthingsdone #original1972 #boleroverhaul https://www.instagram.com/p/CnkGl-WLqyX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We're back - for a bit! As most of you know we stopped overhauling Boler trailers back in August 2021, yet never fully shared all the ins and outs of Tipsy after the overhaul. She's ours to keep, yet still worth sharing! . Did you know that we got Tipsy in 2012 and did her first overhaul in 2014? We learned a lot that year and are so happy with how the second one turned out. From a solar panel to a convertible table/bed, we're happy campers! . #tipsytheboler #boler #renovation #fiberglasstrailer #bolerreno #camping #vintagetrailer #fiberglassrv #camper #vintagecamper #travel #tinyhouse #fiberglass #reno #campinglife #bolertrailer #rvreno #fixerupper #traveltolive #traveltrailer #shoptime #traileriverhaul #vintagebeauty #bolerlife #boler1300 #gettingthingsdone #original1972 #boleroverhaul https://www.instagram.com/p/CncYOD-KY-d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Two fans to keep us cool! 💨 Air movement is important to keep Tipsy’s interior comfortable. 💨 With two fans, we’re in the perfect spot! We’ve camped in Southern California in August and been been just right! https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd3cVtnlxye/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tires! New tires for Tipsy. 🛞 Keeping this beauty safe on the road is our number one priority when we camp! https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd1fRCWvjek/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Automotive paint job done! . We absolutely love this dark grey colour. Especially with the lift kit for off-roading. This is the pivot point where all the prep work starts to pay off!! https://www.instagram.com/p/CXY-66bJ4JG/?utm_medium=tumblr

Tapped off and ready to paint. . We’re using the same automotive paint we used on Tipsy the first time - we just love the colour! https://www.instagram.com/p/CV_McO0Bz9o/?utm_medium=tumblr

Time to cut the floor. Piece by piece, each cut is different for a custom fit. . Not installing it just yet - simply dry fitting. https://www.instagram.com/p/CVxor-DJR_f/?utm_medium=tumblr

Slow and steady wins the race on this one. Templates and more templates. . Putting in brand new hull liner takes patience and a lot of space to lay out the fabric. . Those seams, though. Looking good!! https://www.instagram.com/p/CVu-b28pFXx/?utm_medium=tumblr

All the interior pieces are painted, too. Things are starting to come together! . Also, don’t mind the other Boler in the background - as most of you know, we’re behind on sharing content. https://www.instagram.com/p/CVswRjZpOyN/?utm_medium=tumblr

Priming is done - both inside and out! https://www.instagram.com/p/CVrMPAwJZ5E/?utm_medium=tumblr

Final wipe done - it’s time to prime. . Swipe to see what primer we’re using! https://www.instagram.com/p/CVkxDMPJDF-/?utm_medium=tumblr
