If you love vintage trailers that pack a lot into a compact footprint, the 1963 Shasta 16CS “Canned Ham” is one worth stopping for. This classic Shasta checks all the right boxes—iconic style, smart design, and just enough modern comfort to make it road-ready without losing its vintage soul.
One of the standout features of the 16CS is its efficient floorplan. At just 16 feet, it’s one of the few smaller vintage trailers that includes a dedicated bathroom—a rare and highly sought-after feature. It comfortably sleeps four or more, making it a great option for couples, small families, or anyone who likes hosting the occasional camp guest.
Inside, the trailer has been refurbished with care, featuring fresh interior updates and a new paint job that keeps the look clean and classic. The galley is well equipped with a three-burner stove with oven, a three-way refrigerator, and ample functionality for cooking on the road. A propane heater keeps things cozy, while three-way lighting adds flexibility whether you’re plugged in or camping off-grid.
From a systems standpoint, this Shasta is well set up for travel and camping. It includes electric brakes, a freshwater tank, a toilet with a black tank, and new tires with a matching spare—important details that make a big difference when you’re ready to hit the highway.
Compact, practical, and full of vintage appeal, the 1963 Shasta 16CS remains a favorite among canned-ham enthusiasts for good reason. It’s a timeless design that continues to deliver comfort and character decades later.
