August 13–16, 2015: Birthplace of Route 66 Festival – Springfield, Missouri
✨ INTRO As chatter started building among Route 66 roadies about the Birthplace of Route 66 Festival in Springfield, Missouri, we knew it was something we wanted to experience. We had missed the festival in Kingman the year before—and wouldn’t be able to make Los Angeles the following year—so Springfield felt like the perfect opportunity. When it came time to plan the trip, we debated between taking the car or traveling with the trailer. After recently purchasing our truck and Shasta Oasis, the decision became pretty easy. If that setup was going to collect dust, it had better be road dust. And just like that, another road trip memory was…

*SOLD* 2010 Serro Scotty HiLander Travel Trailer
***WE HAVE NOW SOLD OUR SERRO SCOTTY HILANDER TRAVEL TRAILER*** Due to a growing family tree (one grandson now and his little brother is coming soon), we are selling our beloved Serro Scotty HiLander and upgrading to a larger trailer with a bunkhouse, etc. We just ordered a 2015 Shasta Oasis and are very excited to get it. That said, if I could keep and maintain two trailers, we’d keep the Scotty…but we’re working toward early retirement, so it makes more financial sense to sell. So, we are looking for a good home for our Scotty. At the bottom of this post is the standard information from Serro Scotty’s website…

Some photos from the rally we had at Starve Hollow State Recreation Area in Vallonia, Indiana.

A Little Scotty Then & Now…
Since picking up our Serro Scotty HiLander a week ago, we’ve found out the prevailing question we can anticipate in the future: Is that new or restored? We encountered that question twice while camping in Batesville, Indiana Sunday. That’s a fair question to ask from those who remember Scotties from the trailer’s hey-day in the mid-late 1960’s. The HiLander model was introduced in 1964 and was manufactured until the late 1970’s. Little changed in the design, and with the popularity of them during those years, there was little need to fix what wasn’t broken. John Serro strived to build a line of small but roomy, lightweight trailers that were affordable.…

Friday Happy Dance…
After waiting all week to hear back from Tom at Serro Scotty trailers, we got in touch with him today to find out about the modifications for our new HiLander that we’d like done in production. All three were OK’d at NO COST!! With the total retro look of the exterior from the colors to the design, we wanted to do the same with the interior. First, the interior on a standard HiLander looks like this: We’re going with a different flooring. Instead of the tan stuff, we’re going with the highly retro black & white checkered floor, which will look similar to this old Shasta trailer: The next issue…

Weighing options…
Those of you who follow the blog know that we’re new RVers since September and are already looking to upgrade to something with a few more amenities than our T@B. We’ve been back & forth for over a month trying to decide what we want our next trailer to be. We were pretty sure we narrowed it down to the Serro Scotty HiLander, and even made a trip to western Pennsylvania to talk with the owner of the company. However, the Indy RV Show has been in town the past week and on our second trip to it this past Friday night, we ran into a nicely priced and bigger…
