3 months after I started this site, my then girl friend (Sarah) and I piled
into my VW bus for the Strictly
Vintage 2's Bob Baker show in Carlsbad. After making a quick first
round through the show, we were talking with some friends, when a very
clean early Bay window VW Bus pulling a trailer, drives down the street to
the show entrance. I ran to my bus, grabbed the camera and headed down the
side walk after it. From what I had seen it looked real similar to the
Heilite I had seen sell on eBay. As the man and his son climbed out of
their bus, I was right there to great them with a hearty handshake and a
"Hi my name is Aaron with SingleWheel.com", and before I could
even spew the next word of my greeting, he pulled out some pictures and
a For Sale sign. The pictures showed the trailer opened up and looked to
be in great shape all for $495. As I'm standing there debating where to
come up with the other $100, a friend walks up and says "Do you need
money?" and hands me three hundred bucks just that quick. VW People
are the best (Thanks Randy). Now I just needed to run down to the ATM for the other 2. As
I'm walking back to my bus which is now completely blocked by other VWs,
another friend has seen what is going on, and without a second thought
hands me the keys to his sweet Double Cab and I'm off (Thanks Joe). Needless to say all
worked out well and I now have a 1957 Heilite single wheel trailer in my
garage. This page is designated to my Heilite as I never expected to have
one, myself. If you have any questions, drop
a note.
