Take a Video Tour of Our 1974 Komfort Travel Trailer

Kristin, Highway to Hoeftland

May 31, 2020

Hello, I’d like to bring you on a video tour of our 32 foot 1970’s Komfort Travel Trailer. I took this video last weekend when we were up at the lake.

This old trailer and site at Lake Merwin were handed down to my sister and me when our mom passed away in 2010.

We’ve mostly kept the trailer as Mom had styled it, with her religious mementos and her chosen artwork on the walls. The rocking chair has been in the living room for as long as I can remember.

Our future plans for the space include a covered 32×16 cedar deck by this fall and we’d also like to eventually replace the flooring. Other than that, we pretty much intend to keep it as is.

Part of the comfort and peaceful feeling of being up there is because it reminds us of hanging out at home with mom. ❤️

Here is the video tour:

Note: In light of all the social unrest in society right now, I hope everyone is doing ok. We are living in historical times. There is the fear and sadness over the Coronavirus pandemic and then there are the heartbreaking murders of black Americans like George Floyd last week, resulting in pain and protests throughout the country. I wanted to help in some way, so I donated to the NAACP. I welcome you to join me by donating here .

If you have an organization that you care about and that you think could also use our donations during these challenging times, please feel free to add them below. Thanks

TYPES OF RVs

We’ll help you figure out what kind of rv is right for you..

Travel Trailer

Travel trailers are the most popular type of non-motorized RV. They can be towed by a variety of vehicles and are made for a variety of uses, from hauling to vacationing to full-time RVing.

Many people think of toy haulers as the wild-child of the RV world, but these RVs have multi-purpose utlitity for every adventurer. The open "garage" can serve as storage for toys, an extra bedroom or even an on-the-go office.

Fifth Wheel

Easy to hitch, easy to tow, and stable, fifth wheels offer plenty of comfort for the whole family. Versatility and space are the reasons why RVers choose fifth wheels for their trips — or for their full-time homes.

Class A Motorhome

Built with the same framing and construction as commercial trucks and buses, Class A motorhomes are some of the largest vehicles on the road. AKA lots of room to stretch out and get comfortable.

Class B Camper Van

Small, streamlined and ready to roll. Class B motorhomes (also known as camper vans) offer luxurious living space best suited for small groups.

Class C Motorhome

Recognizable by their raised sleeping or storage areas which extend over the cab of the RV, Class C Motorhomes offer more living space than Class B Motorhomes but are smaller in size and can offer better gas mileage than Class A Motorcoaches.

Camper Tramps: A Spicy 1970s Komfort Travel-Trailer Brochure

The marketing strategy of the 1970s could basically be boiled down to two steps: Step (1) feature your product, Step (2) add a gorgeous lady – and “presto” you have a successful advertisement.  At a time when men still held the pocketbook when it came to big purchases, it made sense to inject a little sexiness into your travel trailer brochure. As this brochure attests, Komfort knew exactly  how to sell the sizzle.

This brochure from the 1970s features two lovely ladies modelling Komfort’s new trailer with spice and pizzazz aplenty.  Let’s have a look…

(L) This is less an RV brochure, and more the first few minutes of a 70s porn.  (R) They said it couldn’t be done, but somehow she managed to make propane tanks sexy. Bravo.

The gaudy linoleum and ubiquitous wood paneling says “go”, but the camper tramps say “stay”.  These gorgeous ladies beckon us with their coffee, condiments, and come-hither stares.

Baking bread in a polyester disco dress; the man who calls this RV his own, is truly living the dream.

If you look closely at the tea kettle, you’ll see the reflection of the happiest man in the world.  Let’s face it, 1970s RV’s were just shaggin’ wagons for “respectable adults”.

After dinner, it’s time to relax amid a sea of Burnt Orange and Harvest Gold – favorites of the 1970s.

RV = Recreational Vehicle.  And what was the favorite recreation of the 1970s?  Oh, yeah – now this brochure makes sense.

Time for a shower…

You’re a liar if you say didn’t lean in close and squint to see behind that shower curtain.  Suffice it to say, it appears our blonde model isn’t wearing anything except lip gloss.

Bedtime.  At last, we can move on from bread making to love making.  We’ve played cards, drank wine, and showered – now it’s time to consecrate our new Komfort travel trailer.  Good night!

A big tip of the hat to Retrocrush.com which first brought this wonderful brochure to light way back in 2004.

Do I need a converter if I’m using a battery charger/ maintainer? The converter just converts 110 to 12v to charge the batt and run 12 v systems like lights. I assume you could just use a battery charger but be sure to use one with a battery minder 4. The refrigerator uses propane and 110? Most also have to have 12 volt to opetate 5. how do I determine my black water capacity? Thanks for your guidence.other than some Click to expand...

On my travel trailer there was a silver sticker on the door jam with many of the details you are looking for. Look in that area and in the exterior and interior storage spaces for that sticker on your trailer. Keep us posted.

I still can’t find any info on the trailer. I really could use some fridge help too
