Our high-style, yet cozy, 1959 Flying Cloud is turn-key ready for her next adventure, wherever
that may take her. Rejuvenated from the frame up, she began her new life with us in 2004 after an extensive remodel as a mobile fly-fishing camp by Iowa Boys, vintage trailer specialists, in North Hollywood, Ca. Blue-ribbon trout streams beckoned her to Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Vancouver Island, and other destinations where she provided luxury accommodations, both in campgrounds and off-grid in remote, idyllic natural settings. While we toyed with the idea of restoring her to her original design, we recognized that 1959-era comforts and conveniences were not for us. We wanted her to complement our lifestyle, taste, convenience and utility.
So, upgrade we did, with all the comforts of home and then some, including hi-end sound and entertainment systems. When not on the road, she was a perfect guest house for visiting family and friends, functioning equally well as an office on occasion. We will miss our Fly Rig, remembering all the experiences and destinations we shared over the years, but she is ready to go—polished, fully equipped, all systems checked and running by an RV specialist 2/5/22. With all her interior beauty, she tows like a dream, smooth and steady for the road ahead.

Purchased from second owner in 2002. Rejuvenated in 2004 by Iowa Boys, LLC in North Hollywood, Ca., vintage trailer restoration specialists serving the movie and TV industry.
