August 18, 2014 by · 18 Comments
OK, that title might be just a wee bit of an exaggeration. I'm a bit partial. I actually did have a guy at the Ohio toll booth argue with co-worker saying that he thought it was ugly! Shocking isn't it?! You know you have a bad case of Aluminitis when you see the cutest trailer on earth and you instantly try and figure out where you can park it in the driveway. … [Read more...]

November 9, 2013 by · 10 Comments
Our 1955 Bellwood is a small trailer at 11 ft. So space is a premium in there. When a couple people in your family are fairly tall and need more leg room the small size of the trailer becomes even more evident. So one thing I wanted to do was use a half table at the dinette. Would you like to have a half size table for your vintage trailer too? If so contact my … [Read more...]

Granted there is some set … [Read more...]
