1960 Ken-Craft Travel Trailer

This 1960 Ken-Craft travel trailer is a 19′ single-axle model that has a galley, a dinette, a bedroom, and a bathroom. The aluminum and fiberglass body is finished in white with a red stripe, and amenities include jalousie side windows, curtains, and vinyl tile flooring in addition to a propane cooktop, a Dometic refrigerator, and ceiling vents. The trailer was purchased by the seller in 2008, and subsequent work is said to have involved replacing plumbing, 12-volt wiring, axle, and holding tanks, resealing the roof, repainting the exterior, and refurbishing the bathroom. This Ken-Craft travel trailer has reportedly been in storage for approximately five years and is now offered at no reserve with a clean Idaho title in the seller’s name.

Ken-Craft was founded by Bill Kennedy in 1955 and was one of the first companies to produce travel trailers with fiberglass exterior panels. The fiberglass roof and aluminum body panels of this example were refinished in white with a red stripe under current ownership. Details include jalousie side windows, an entry door with a separate screened panel, a retractable boarding step, a canvas awning, side marker lamps, and a white-painted rear bumper. The trailer has freshwater, gray water, and black water holding tanks in addition to connections for freshwater, waste disposal, and electrical service.

Steel 15″ wheels wear bright covers and are mounted with 225/75 Transmaster tires. Stopping power is provided by electrically actuated drum brakes. A pair of propane tanks and a regulator are secured to the tongue, and the chassis is equipped with a manual tongue jack.

The interior features vinyl tile flooring, area rugs, curtains, and two overhead vents along with a wood ceiling, walls, and cabinetry. The galley is outfitted with a Dometic dual-fuel refrigerator and freezer, a four-burner propane cooktop, an exhaust vent, a double-basin sink, and storage cabinets. The adjacent dinette houses a removable table and bench seating upholstered in blue cloth. The hand-pump kitchen faucet has been disconnected, and the plumbing has been updated with an electric water pump. Water stains are visible on the ceiling above the refrigerator. The operating condition of the Princess oven is unknown, and the seller states that it should not be used.

The bedroom is furnished with a full bed, a built-in dresser, a wardrobe, and overhead storage. The bathroom is positioned at the rear and has a shower with a tethered sprayer, a porcelain toilet, a sink, and a closet. Work under current ownership involved replacing the bathroom wood paneling and repainting the shower walls. The seller notes that the furnace does not work and has been disconnected.

Rust is visible on the frame components, and additional underside photos can be viewed in the gallery.
