Anthony Fraser and his son Connor design and build teardrop style campers together. After graduating from Maine Maritime Academy, then being at sea, Anthony is happy to be working at home with his son. Fraser grew up in Stockton Springs and wanted to build campers because of happy childhood memories camping with his family on Sears Island. Connor is the perfect partner. He graduated from Universal Technical Institute in Massachusetts and works as a mechanic and crew chief on UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters for the National Guard.
“The Vacationland RV & Camping Show in Auburn is our first show,” says Anthony, “and we are looking forward to meeting with the public and talking about our campers.” “Because,” explains Connor, “we build our campers with the highest quality components. For instance we use Baltic birch plywood for the sides and ceilings, rather than the Luan used by many manufacturers. And each camper is customized for the buyer.”
“Teardrop style campers,” says Anthony, “are smaller and more flexible than full-sized campers. They are easier to tow and they are easier to maneuver into a camping spot. Our campers are the square-drop shape, making the space inside more usable.”
Coachworks1260 campers, built by Anthony and Connor, will debut at the Vacationland RV & Camping Show on April 5-6 in Auburn. They can also be seen by appointment at 1260 Cape Jellison Road in Stockton Springs. Email info@coachworks1260.com or call 207-323-1747. Campers can be ordered online at www.coachworks1260.com.
