The trailer looks amazing… But has anyone else noticed that one of the minifigs of the trailer resembles Chuck Norris? (…)

^ You could try a 1×1 tooth plate (yes, Swoofty, I do love them).

I agree somewhat about the 1×3 plate… I just couldn’t come up with any better way to express the fins on the prototype. Ideally there would be a triangular or trapezoidal piece to put there, but as it’s one of the distinguishing features of the Shasta I couldn’t just leave it out.

Thanks for all the great comments! I’ll be making the LDraw file of this soon…

Coolness. I think we had that camper when I was a kid (or at least one very much like it). The only thing I dislike about the MOC is that little gray 1×3 plate. I see the little wing on the source material he’s trying to get, but it doesn’t really work, IMO. The rest, though–the shape, the propane cannister, the vent–is perfect.

That IS a classic door, isn’t it?
Nice.

Awesome project. Easily as charming as the real thing. :D

You’re not seriously saying that those doors are rare, are you? I have about 200 lying around a I think…

Great caravan, though. Somehow they only MOC I ever used one of those doors for also was a caravan….

It’s amazing what he can do when he’s not drumming for Black Sabbath. ;)

So much for the double feature.
