The Fiber Stream camper/trailer is a 16 foot, dual axel camper made from a fiberglass molded in one piece body. This 1978 Fiber Stream was gutted to the subfloor and completely rebuilt in 2009, with alder wood throughout and all new appliances and fixtures. Alder was chosen for low weight, using veneered 1/8 inch luan for the panels. Appliances, including refrigerator, stove, continuous water heater, and power converter are all top of the line. The windows, door, ceiling fan, and vents were removed and reinstalled with new butyl caulk. Replaced all tires, including the spare. Also included are mini blinds on all large windows, a heater, and a new awning appropriate to the vintage of the trailer.

The front end has a dinette that converts into a queen or king size bed. When queen sized, it leaves seating for two. A half bathroom and decent sized closet are located at the back end of the camper. In between, the kitchen consists of a 3 burner propane range with oven, double sink with cutting board covers, and a refrigerator that can run on 110v AC, 12v DC, or propane. There are four large windows in the living area, and one small window in the bathroom.

My wife and I have enjoyed this camper very much. We have not used it for 3 years, but I believe everything works perfectly. There are some issues with some of the woodwork. As can be seen in the pictures, some panels in the bath and closet doors have wrinkled. This is due to a camping trip to the Oregon coast when we had a lot of rain and very high humidity. Also, the roll top door above the fridge has jumped the track and doesn't close.

UPDATE: I used stainless steel screws and rubber backed washers to secure the wood cabinetry to the fiberglass shell, similar to the original construction. Some of the screws through the roof became a little loose, and water got in and stained some of the woodwork. You can see this on the panel next to the sink. After a thorough inspection I believe the damage is purely cosmetic. I tightened all of the screws and it appears there is no more leaking. I believe the solution is to cover the screws with a sealing caulk. Rather than cover anything up myself, I will leave this as a project for the new owner.

This camper is offered as is, with no warranty. Feel free to ask any questions. It can be seen by appointment in South Reno.

What is the tow weight & price?

Posted by Larry Hollibaugh (1 year ago)

Dry weight is about 2000 lbs. I'm asking $11,000 but will negotiate.
