Bright, Airy, and Back on the Road: Our 1968 Yellowstone Cavalier

We don’t know how many owners our 1968 Yellowstone Cavalier entertained over the years, but its most recent chapter before us was a fun one. The previous owner used it as a mobile display for her vintage dresses at flea markets across Wisconsin. When we first saw the trailer, both the exterior and interior looked solid. The running lights worked, it wore new wheels and tires, and it towed home without any trouble....

An Appointment with the Prairie, a Shasta Found in South Dakota

I’ve owned a few Shastas over the years, and I’ve always had a soft spot for the 1400. About five years ago, I spotted this one on Craigslist. Of course, it was nearly 500 miles from my home—across Minnesota and into South Dakota. I called the woman who owned it, and she was kind and straightforward. She explained that a change in life circumstances meant she wouldn’t be able to restore the trailer herself....

A Silver Streak Heads West: Vintage Living on the Oregon Coast

There’s something especially fitting about a classic aluminum trailer finding its way to the Oregon Coast. With its dramatic headlands, misty mornings, and endless stretches of shoreline, the coast has long been a magnet for people who appreciate simple beauty and life at a slightly slower pace. This 1977 Silver Streak Luxury Liner is headed to a newly developed 12.5-acre park designed specifically to offer a truly unique experience for owners of tiny homes and vintage travel trailers....

1960 Airstream Safari For Sale. Nearly perfect, 22 foot exterior aluminum. Clear and current California title. New tires. Complete with original appliances and all glass in windows. The floor appears to be solid, but it has not closely inspected. Interior is still as found; I have not cleaned it out yet. Needs interior restoration/refinishing. New skylight cover and door handle included. A great money-saving project for the do-it-yourselfer, or an easy professional rebuild if you’ve got the $$.

After Twenty Years, It’s Time to Pass the Keys: A 1947 Spartan Manor

After more than twenty years of vintage trailering, some decisions are harder than others. This one certainly was. The owners of this 1947 Spartan Manor have decided it’s time to pass along a trailer that has been a true labor of love—and a trusted travel companion—for two decades. Purchased in 2003 in largely untouched condition, the Spartan was carefully taken apart and rebuilt with two guiding principles in mind: strength and originality....

The Appeal of Vintage Camping

Since retiring four years ago, my wife Diane and I have gone all in on vintage camping. We often come home from a rally excited to share stories from the weekend, only to be met with polite smiles and puzzled looks. If you haven’t experienced it yourself, it can be hard to understand the appeal. As the saying goes, it takes one to know one....

When a Trailer Feels Like Home: A 1950 Spartan Mansion

Some trailers check the boxes. Others make you slow down, step inside, and instantly feel at home. This 30-foot 1950 Spartan Mansion falls squarely into that second category. Spartan Mansions have always carried a certain presence, and this one leans fully into what made them legendary—space, comfort, and that unmistakable aircraft-inspired design. Inside, the trailer feels warm and surprisingly cozy for its size....

1951 Spartan For Sale. This is a Great Spartan project! The interior is very dry, and the interior birch is all usable. Just needs varying degrees of sanding (most of it light sanding) and a couple of coats of clear, and the interior will be absolutely beautiful! It needs a decent amount of work, but it's still great for a beginner! I offer free delivery within 1000 miles and have excellent delivery references from lots of other Spartans I have delivered in the recent past! Clean title! Pulls great as is! Original fridge and original stove work!

Culture Hustlers 1957 Shasta Incubator

The Original Mobile Incubator was a showcase of American creative enterprise. The structure was a completely overhauled 1957 Shasta camper, an American icon of industrial design by Robert Gray. During the height of the “canned ham” era—from the 1940s through the 1970s—Shasta sold more trailers than any other manufacturer, and its signature lightning stripe became so iconic it was widely copied by numerous SOBs (Some Other Brands)....
