From the pages of the Vintage Camper Trailers Magazine With the 100th anniversary of the Tin Can Tourists (TCT) and the induction of (re)founders Forrest and Jeri Bone into the Recreational Vehicle/Manufactured Housing Hall of Fame, I thought I had a pretty good understanding of the origin of the vintage trailer movement. But I wanted to understand more about its roots in the West. So, I set out to learn what I could and put this article together, which includes information about early vintage trailer clubs and events across the country. First, it is important to note the evolution from “old trailer” ownership to “vintage” trailer ownership. People have always treasured, preserved, and restored old stuff, including trailers, just because they liked a particular thing. Then, with the advent of vintage trailer clubs and the internet, it became easier for owners and enthusiasts to find one another. Trailer owners have long formed clubs. The Tin Can Tourists (TCT) was established in 1919. The TCT’s success encouraged a short-lived competitor, the Automobile Tourists Association, in 1939. Brand-specific clubs emerged later, notably Airstream’s Wally Byam Caravan Club International (WBCCI) in 1955. By 1957, the Travel Trailer Clubs of America gave advice and assistance to the founding of these clubs. There was also club activity specific to teardrop trailers. However I have found none focusing primarily on vintage trailers during the middle of the last century. Still, the idea of getting like-minded folk together was percolating. In 1972, the Recreational Vehicle/Manufactured Housing (RV HOF) Heritage Foundation was founded in Elkhart, IN. It opened its RV HOF Museum in 1991. By 1982, The Period & Classic Caravan Club formed in the United Kingdom. By 1993, Bud and Bettye Cooper gathered fellow WBCCI members to form the Vintage Airstream Club (VAC). So, finally, there was a club focused specifically on vintage trailers. Todd Kimmel and Kristin Doughty (soon to be Kimmel) decided to take their interest in vintage campers to the next level by starting an all-brand vintage club, The Classic Trailer and Motorhome Club. Its official publication was called “Lost Highways”. It was originally intended to be issued quarterly, but only three issues were printed. The first Lost Highways Rally was held on March 27-30, 1995, in Sarasota, FL. Later that year, and for some years following, a Lost Highways Summer Reunion for the Tin Can Tourists was hosted at St Ignace, MI. A year earlier, Kimmels ran an ad in Hemmings Motor News seeking vintage trailer enthusiasts. Johnny Agnew and Steve Butcher were driving toward Monument Valley, working on the movie, “Pontiac Moon.” They saw the ad, got excited, and contacted Todd. After some back and forth, Johnny decided to hold a Western rally. He used the Lost Highways mailing list for the area and contacted others he knew. In 1996, he located an old campground in Azusa, CA, called Follows Camp. As many as fifteen trailers came, and West Coast rallying began! Lost Highways and Johnny promoted a couple of more rallies, including one at Newport Dunes. By 1999, Craig Dorsey, one of the attendees, stepped in and hosted several rallies at Newport Dunes. Dorsey was a master of promotion and ran a restoration business, Vintage Vacations, for years. (I’m sure many of us stole time at work to view the Vintage Vacation site and dream). A small group of Newport Dunes attendees, led by Toni and Chuck Miltenberger, founded the Trail to Pismo rally in 2008, which soon became the largest vintage rally in the world. Johnny, Steve, and their crew from Funky Junk Farms are a key part of that rally today. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Mississippi, VAC President Forrest Bone was seeking a way to gather all vintage trailer brands together. This couldn’t be done under the umbrella of the Airstream-only VAC. He and Bud Cooper discussed this, and Bud mentioned the moribund TCT. Forrest and Jeri researched the copyright, trademark, and related issues, and in 1998, the TCT was reborn. I think it’s fair to say that the TCT’s newsletter, website, social media presence, rallies, area representatives, and the Bones’ endless efforts have served vintage enthusiasts well and have given many the incentive to start local clubs and rallies. By 1999, sisters and avid fly fisherwomen Maurie Sussman and Rebecca Clarke saw an unmet need. They started the successful Sisters on the Fly. The club is specifically for women trailer owners (many are vintage trailer owners) and hosts rallies nationwide.
Former VAC officer Pat Ewing had been privy to some campfire discussions between Bud Cooper and Forrest Bone at the 1998 Boise VAC Caravan. Pat hosted WBCCI regional rallies and the first Mt. Baker Vintage Trailer Rally at the Deming, WA, Log Show Grounds in 2001. That rally is one of the longest-running vintage rallies, second only to TCT’s Camp Dearborn Rally and Annual Meeting in Michigan. All of these efforts have given birth to a fulfilling pastime for many people and a growing industry that now includes many clubs, vintage-friendly campgrounds; a bi-monthly magazine, Vintage Camper Trailer Magazine, rallies, restoration-themed rallies, and rally promoters; restorers, repairers, and suppliers; and specialized trailer insurers and appraisers. Steve Hingtgen’s Vintage Trailer Supply significantly accelerated and aided the preservation and restoration of vintage trailers. There is currently no one place to discover the beginnings of the vintage trailer movement. Some of you may know of early vintage gatherings and activities I would love to hear about those so I can continue to add to this modest account of the beginnings of our beloved vintage camper movement. Westcraft trailers were known for using high-quality building materials and for painting their aluminum shells in bright and bold colors. This 1950 Westcraft Trolley Top is a testament to the color craze of its time. The Trolley Top, also referred to as a Lantern Top, was not only popular due to its exterior but also due to its advanced interior design. The implementation of a raised roof improved not only the headspace of the trailer but also the lighting and ventilation. The Trolley Top marks a significant improvement in trailers’ functionality, making it a favorite of many trailerites to this day. The owners told us "Our RV collection started many years ago, focusing exclusively on shiny, aluminum trailers. However, the more we studied the history and development of the vintage trailer world, the more we realized that most manufacturers in the early days built trailers out of Masonite. Masonite, a type of engineered wood, does not stand the test of time and is easily eroded by the elements. To give the Masonite any chance of surviving more than a few years, several coats of paint would be applied to the surface to protect it. Unfortunately, the paint was insufficient protection to save most of these trailers in the long run. The toll of weather, mostly rain, was more than the Masonite could stand, thus making this method obsolete in post-WWII construction. However, the quickly retired Masonite-made trailers also became extremely rare." Post-WWII production found many manufacturers, like Westcraft, using aluminum or metal for the shells of their trailers. This change in design allowed for a sturdier product that could withstand the elements and the test of time. While this was undoubtedly an advancement, Westcraft and other manufacturers wanted to implement color as a selling point. Therefore, they began painting the aluminum exteriors of their products in bold, often two-toned color schemes to stand out from their competitors and differentiate their brands. Bold color schemes became the craze of the 1950s in trailers and automobiles, allowing people to express their style in a multitude of ways in the Mid-Century Modern era. The Gulley’s collection has early examples of Airfloat, Airstreams, Alma, Covered Wagon, Hammerblow, New Moon, and Home Builts. All have very subdued paint colors and designs compared to the trailers built in the 1950s. David, Mary and their daughter Jennifer are proud to have this painted treasure as part of The Gulley Museum Collection alongside its shiny, vintage relatives.
The Gulley Museum Collection is a private collection in Arkansas. It is not open to the public but the trailers are featured in the Vintage Camper Trailers Magazine.

(Find rallies in the USA.) Have you ever attended a rally or show on concrete or asphalt with no way to secure your awning? Gary Moore came up with a way to utilize the weight of water with common items from a home improvement store. Filling a five-gallon bucket with water gives you a 42-pound anchor to secure each awning pole. Water produces a substantial amount of weight you don’t have to transport. Wind can still pull or tip the buckets. Gary engineered four-foot 1x2s with a notch in each end to keep the buckets in place by placing the sticks between the base of the awning pole and the tethering rope where it connects to the bucket handle. (We might add a lid to the buckets and a spring between the rope and handle. If you wanted to be fancy, you could cover the buckets with a burlap sack or another material.)

When it comes to hosting a memorable trailer rally, location is key. Some crave the tranquility of a remote camping experience, while others yearn for antique shopping, sightseeing, or dining options nearby. The 2023 Oregon House, CA Trailerfest Rally was nestled about 30 minutes from civilization in a picturesque setting. Surrounded by rolling hills and towering pine trees, this rally offered a natural habitat for deer, squirrels, and turkeys, adding to the charm of the RV park. It was a haven for those seeking a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. More photos of this rally in our Facebook group.

Straight from the pages of the Vintage Camper Trailers Magazine: When insuring your vintage RV, seeking advice from a licensed agent in your state of residence is crucial. Insurance can be complex, with various policy types, coverages, and valuation considerations. This article will explore the options available to help you choose the best one for you. Liability Coverage: Protecting Yourself and Others Liability coverage is a vital aspect of RV insurance, safeguarding you from legal liability for bodily injury and property damage caused to others. It is important to note that liability coverage does not cover injuries to you and your family or damage to your rig. While liability coverage is legally required in almost every state for drivable RVs, it is not typically mandated for travel trailers that are towed. However, liability coverage for the tow vehicle extends to the towable RV while driving. (This may not be true with classic car insurance. Check with your agent.) The required minimum liability coverage varies by state and is usually expressed as minimum coverage limits in state laws. It’s essential to understand that state minimum coverages may not provide sufficient protection in the event of an RV accident. Larger RVs have the potential to cause significant bodily injury and property damage, which may exceed the state-required minimums. Opting for coverage limits higher than the minimum requirements is advisable. Some policies may even cover visitors to your trailer at a rally. Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage: Protection When Others Fall Short Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage is another critical aspect of insurance for your vintage RV. This coverage protects you and your passengers when someone without insurance or with inadequate insurance coverage hits your RV. While it is required in about half of the states for motorhomes and tow vehicles (not for travel trailers), it is often available as an optional coverage in states where it is not mandatory. Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage can be obtained for both bodily injury and property damage. It serves as a complement to liability coverage, ensuring that you and your loved ones are protected when someone else is at fault. Comprehensive Coverage: Protecting Your Vintage RV from Unforeseen Events Comprehensive coverage offers protection against various types of damage not covered by collision insurance. It covers damage resulting from:
Total Loss Coverages: Protecting Your Investment For vintage trailers and RVs, total loss coverages are often the best option. These coverages typically encompass most of the previously mentioned events (depending on the specific policy). The two common types of total loss valuation are: 1. Market Value (Actual Cash Value): This is the standard valuation method used by many insurance companies. In the event of a total loss, you would be paid the actual market or cash value of your RV at the time of the loss (minus the deductible). Insurance companies typically use sources such as NADA, Kelly Blue Book, or comparable market data to determine the pre-damage value. However, obtaining accurate market data for vintage trailers/RVs can be challenging, potentially resulting in the insurance company determining the value, regardless of any proof you provide. 2. Agreed Value: This is an upgraded option (often requiring an additional premium) and is particularly beneficial for vintage RVs and travel trailers. With Agreed Value coverage, you and the insurance company agree on a specific value for your rig from the beginning, typically based on a professional vintage RV/trailer appraisal. In the event of a total loss, the insurance company will pay the agreed-upon value, regardless of the current market value. This coverage is advantageous for bus conversions, custom RVs, and vintage RVs/trailers without a standard market value. It is recommended to have an appraisal on file, even if it’s not explicitly required by the insurer, and update it every 4 to 5 years. By having an Agreed Value policy, you are better protected because you receive the agreed value amount, regardless of any depreciation that may have occurred. This ensures that you can replace your vintage RV/trailer without experiencing financial hardship. Establishing Your Trailer’s Value: Essential Documentation
To establish the value of your vintage trailer, several pieces of documentation are crucial:
Protecting Your Vintage RV Investment Insuring your vintage RV is not a decision to be taken lightly. It is crucial to understand the different coverage types, valuations, and appraisal needs to ensure your treasure is adequately protected. By consulting with a licensed insurance agent and considering the information provided in this article, you can make an informed decision and safeguard your vintage RV from potential risks and losses.
