If you’ve been dreaming about joining the vintage trailer rally scene this season, your chance has officially arrived. This 1965 KenCraft 25′ tandem axle trailer is everything a vintage trailer enthusiast could ask for—roomy, solid, full of charm, and loaded with extras that make it truly rally-ready. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or looking to dive into the retro camping lifestyle, this beautifully updated and lovingly maintained classic is ready to roll.
Upgraded Chassis for Confident Towing
One of the standout features of this KenCraft is the investment made in its chassis and towing setup. With brand-new double axles, electric brakes, and fresh springs that raise the trailer six inches, towing is smoother and safer—even on uneven terrain. The tires were all purchased in 2022, and the spare is in great condition. Add to that the Reese Steadi-Flex weight distribution and sway bar system, a theft-deterrent hitch lock, and a 7-pin connection, and you’ve got a setup that’s built for stability and peace of mind. Even the tongue jack is electric and comes with a manual, making hitching up and hitting the road a breeze.
Exterior Restoration Done Right
The molded fiberglass front, roof, and rear were refurbished in 2018, and the new aluminum siding was professionally painted in 2019, preserving the original pattern for that authentic mid-century look. All the jalousie windows were removed, cleaned, resealed, and reset with stainless-steel screws. They also have screens and polished trim that’s been clear-coated to maintain its shine. The entry door, with its matching screen, is new and comes with keys, and the full-length roller awning provides the perfect outdoor lounge space. This trailer even includes a custom RV cover purchased in 2022—an often overlooked but valuable addition.
A Comfortable, Functional Interior
Step inside and you’ll immediately appreciate the updates that make this trailer not only beautiful but practical for modern camping. The flooring was professionally replaced in 2018, and many of the wall and ceiling panels were updated while keeping the original wood interior’s charm. The kitchen still features the original pink double sink and laminate countertops, paired with a classic Wedgewood-Holly 4-burner stove (oven not working) and a range fan overhead. A newer Dometic 3-way fridge and a Sharp microwave bring modern convenience into the mix.
Stay cool with the Dometic roof-mounted air conditioner and enjoy fresh airflow from the Fantastic Fan above the bed. The bed platform has been extended to accommodate a real full-size mattress—a Hampton & Rhodes Misty Creek with an optional 2-inch memory foam topper. There’s even a foldaway dinette table, and a 24-inch RCA TV with DVD player, perfectly placed for watching from bed or the dinette.
Modern Systems Meet Vintage Style
This KenCraft may wear its vintage badge proudly, but it’s not lacking when it comes to updated systems. The trailer boasts a new PowerMax converter charger, a 12v fuse panel, and fully refurbished 110v and 12v wiring. The plumbing was completely redone with PEX and includes a 20-gallon fresh water tank, a Shurflo water pump, a Girard on-demand water heater, and a Dometic toilet with a new black water holding tank. There is no grey tank, but the bathroom retains its fabulous retro vibe with pink fixtures and gold-flecked wall panels.
Loaded with Extras and Ready for the Season
Everything you need to start your vintage rally adventure is included—from the Stromberg-Carlson foldable steps with handrail to the sewer hose, spare 4′ x 6′ dinette rug, water hose, manuals, and even a Bissell 3-in-1 vacuum. Custom curtains dress every window, and storage is absolutely everywhere: under beds, in drawers, overhead cabinets, closets, and even a rear trunk.
