The Dabbling Crafter

Monday, march 21, 2016, introducing our 1963 holiday rambler cab-over.

11 comments

I just bought a bunker - we are not sure the year but looks very much like your. We have an extra window in the back though. SO hard to find any info on these old gals. Any way I can get the data on the brochure you had in yours? Is there a place online where I can view it? Just trying to learn more about mine. Thanks - Manon [email protected]

Have you joined Tin Can Tourist yet? If it’s really a Holiday Rambler, we also have a group online where all the paperwork we have is available. Just search for “Vintage Holiday Ramblers” on Facebook

Thanks! Ours is all original paneling, oven, etc. I think maybe a rare 19xl with the duplex bunk? I haven’t seen any info nor pics on line if one like it. But yours is very similar in body. We just joined the holiday rambler site so hoping to learn more there!

We are about to purchase a 1965 Holiday Rambler cabover. I've looked everywhere on the internet. I'm trying to make sure it's really a 1965, but all I find is a 1961 & 1963. Can any tell me did they really make what I'm about ready to purchase? The only number on the title is RA11014218. Just curious how many of these were made in 1965.

Hi there! I am hoping to purchase one of these that I found near me. I am curious though if you know the dry weight on yours. The one I'm hoping to pick up still has a good bit of the original stuff. Also, what is the clearance under the cab-over. We'll be purchasing a new tow vehicle and need to make sure we get something practical for this trailer. Thanks for sharing your experience!

Just was wondering what is the length of your cab over ??

This is mine

I have a 63 just like it, parents bought in 71, been sleeping in it since I was 9!

It's stamped on the tongue

Such a nice trailer it is. If you are willing to travel, you can check out some of the best tents for sale over here.

Did you document the plumbing by any chance?
