Vickie from Enchanted Trails RV Park & Trading Post shares with us her gorgeous 56 Vakashunette. Here is what she said. I actually have seven vintage trailers and an RV Park called Enchanted Trails which is on old Route 66 in Albuquerque. I rent 5 of my trailers out (antique furnishings and all) and strive to be the "Shady Dell" on the Mother Road. There are … [Read more...]

OK, every now and then someone sends me some before/after pictures of their vintage trailer and I have to say Miki's trailer named "Trashy" takes the prize so far for best make over that I've seen! Facts about Trashy from her owner Miki: 1. She's a 1958 Kencraft floozie from Hollywood, Ca. 2. She cost $150.00 with no title....she has one now. 3. She is rare, … [Read more...]

I've been working on creating slip covers for the 55 Bellwood. Before it got so hot here I was outside polishing the exterior but let me tell you, this heat is sweltering. Not that I'm complaining as I much prefer summer rather than the brutal cold winters. However, in this kind of heat it's nice to have a "indoor" project to accomplish. I've got one slip cover … [Read more...]
If you ever take short camping trips and don't want to use a full awning, an little "Over-nighter" might be the ticket. We bought ours from Marti's Awnings and just love it. It's small at appx 5 x 5 I believe. It's just the right size for over the entrance of your vintage trailer. Marti offers them in various colors and patterns so you can get one that matches your … [Read more...]
So the demolition on the 56 Southland Runabout begins. We put in a full days work removing the front skin and about 3/4 of the interior walls and ceiling. The previous owners just put new wood over the old. That is NOT the right way to do it. However, they actually did me a favor by doing this because I was able to pull off the wood sections they put up fairly easily … [Read more...]
I'm often asked where to start when considering buying a vintage camper. I'm going to answer this in a way that presents questions for you to consider before buying your first vintage trailer. This isn't about what to look for in a specific trailer but more about figuring out just what you want before you start searching for one to buy. So here are questions to ask … [Read more...]
OK, this is probably the neatest sleeping arrangement I've seen done in a vintage trailer. Imagine you have a small trailer that sleeps only 2 and you would love to have just one more bed to either sleep a child, guest, etc., Well, here you go! These folks converted the closet area in a front kitchen model camper into a sleeping area. Source of photo unknown … [Read more...]
