October 15, 2012 by · 5 Comments
I think this has to be the most uniquely themed vintage trailer I've seen to date. It makes you just want to take it to a trip to Candy Land. Isn't it so sweet? (pun intended).

It had been lakeside in Wisconsin near Minnesota for a … [Read more...]

I was given a sample set of Space Bag Dual- Use Bags to try out and review for you all. I have to say these are really neat! These are great for storing items such as clothing and bedding in a vintage trailer as we all know how space is a commodity in our little trailers.

Keeping Your Camper Documents Organized
August 1, 2012 by · 2 Comments
I don't know if you are like me but I am the kind of person that needs to be organized or I'd be in completely chaos. For me there is nothing more frustrating than needing to find something only to discover I can't recall where I put it.
