From the Kalamazoo Gazette, promoting the TCT attendence at the Vicksburg Old Car Festival: VICKSBURG -- They're called the Tin Can Tourists, but the name is a bit of a misnomer.

By David and Lee Abell I cannot think of a better way to meet new people than to pull in an RV park full of white plastic campers with a shiny gold antique travel trailer; but more about that later. Our trip began when Lee and I decided to quite of full time jobs and travel around the country to see America; its small towns, blue highways, and every tacky tourist spot in between. We both knew our 19' Airstream would not cut it with 2 adults, 2 dogs and 3 cats on such a long adventure circling…

Airlight manufactured a few small aluminum airframe trailers (12+ ft. body) in 1955. The following year (1956) they had become El Rey Trailer Co., manufacturing bigger aluminum airframe trailers. Only three Airlights are known to exist at this writing. The Airlight's door is located in the highly desirable rear entry position.

airstream

2009-08-09T07:33:20-05:00

History Wally Byam, airstream's founder, was practically born a traveler. As a young child he traveled extensively with his grandfather, who led a mule train in Baker, Oregon. Later, as an adolescent, he was a shepherd, living in a two-wheeled donkey cart outfitted with a kerosene cook stove, food and water, a sleeping bag and wash pail. These early experiences no doubt contributed in large part to the direction his life would eventually take.

History Argosy trailers were made by Airstream Company starting 1971 in Versailles, OH. near Jackson Center, and are usually recognized as “Painted Airstreams”. Many features were first tried out on the Argosy models, and then incorporated into the more traditional Airstreams if they were a success. A good example is the large front wrap windows. These painted trailers were able to utilize steel end caps and aluminum panels that were damaged or blemished. Argosy created a series of diminutive …

**ARISTOCRAT** History Irving Perch manufactured Aristocrat trailers in California from 1956 to 1974. The Lo Liner model was called that because one could purchase optional metal wheels to install when storage in a low garage was desired. These smaller wheels lowered the height, as well as the unique “drop axle”. The Lo Liner was sold as a 13' and a 15' trailer back then, but licensed as 16', as the nearest measurement from hitch to tail. Perch also manufactured a Mainliner, Land Commander…

Part of reviving the strenuous life meant self-sufficiency in the pre-industrial age, which in itself was an oxymoron as the entire activity was dependent on one of the most radical inventions of its age. Nevertheless motorists were determined to live simply off the land as their ancestors did. The modern man was alienated from the land and the natural state of man by his luxuries and comforts of technology. John Burroughs wrote, “Discomfort is, after all, what the camper-out is conconsciously s…

History Built in Baroda, Michigan - Avalair is a rare find. Not too many of these out there. I have had limited success in getting the history of these trailers. Seems to be part Avion and part Airstream - The name is likely a contraction of the two. Looks a bit more Avion(ish). Reminds me of a covered wagon with the raked front and plumb stern. Very solidly built - the frame even has a center rail, instead of the usual two. 13-panel front, with a beaded panel edge gives it a real …

I bought this 1947 13' Aluminum Trailer Co. #186. When I got it, it was gutted less the ice box. I went a little over board in the reconstruction I think. The exterior was in need of a lot of rivets, and TLC. The idea is to tow this behind my 40 Ford COE truck. It has kind of a cartoon look so the trailer had to match.

Kit was founded in October 1945 in Long Beach, California. Its first product was a small “teardrop” trailer, so-called for its shape. It was to be sold as a kit, with its components assembled by buyers and attached to the rear of a motor vehicle. The manufacturing “plant” was a latticed-front fruit stand in Pico Rivera, and the original plan called for building 60 units. However, the kit proposal was soon dropped, and the company began manufacturing prefabricated but fully assembled trailers.…

We finished it up in May of 2004 and have had a lot of fun with it. We've used it as our base camp for Death Valley 4×4 trips and have attended a few vintage trailer rallies.

Travel trailers and pick-up cabs were introduced in the early 1930s, with camper attachments entering the market in the late 1940s. The emergence of mobile homes, also in the late 1940s, shifted manufacturers' emphasis away from travel trailers and camper attachments. While mobile homes dominated the recreational vehicle market in the 1950s and 1960s, the market for travel trailers and camper attachments continued to grow.
