Come Aboard the Huckleberry Fin!

What type of Travel Trailer do you have?

1971 Frolic Travel Trailer. 14′ w/ hitch

His name is Huckleberry Fin. I completely remodeled him myself. He is set up to run off-grid with 2-100w solar panels and an AGM battery. He has a 15-gallon freshwater tank with a 12v water pump, a cassette toilet and a propane 3 burner stove, refrigerator and water heater. I love to boondock and get deep into nature. I drag along my Mini-Aussie dog and my kayak on every adventure.

How do you describe your “camp style”?

I would describe my Camp Style as adventurous, super comfy, 1970’s Bohemian with a bit of a cabin feel.

What concept or elements influence your style?

My style is influenced by my love for the great outdoors. I used natural elements like wood, metals, leather and animal furs. I have things that make me happy like Audubon books, a globe, vintage maps, dreamcatchers, vintage cameras, a binocular, plants and tons of throw pillows; last count was 15!

Have you made any style mistakes, and if so, what did you learn?

I originally painted the cabinets a pure white. It was too bright. I went back and painted them an off-white. Although most people wouldn’t notice, I do. The new white made it feel a lot warmer.

What advice or encouragement can you offer Girl Campers who are developing their camp style?

When developing your camp style, I advise you to take notes from your home-style. What do you love about your home? What colors and items bring you joy? When I am preparing and packing for my next adventure, I bring several items from home like my leather butterfly chair, my favorite plant and cowhide rugs. I enjoy spending time all cuddled up in my trailer, but my love for the great outdoors is why I camp so I included very natural elements. One of my favorite design choices was the deep green paint color I used in the kitchen and back wall. It’s called Blackened Pine by Valspar.

Love, love, love Girl Camper!! Keep up the good work.
