Silver Palaces Book

$27.99

Only a few left!

Vintage and modern-day photographs and advertisements add depth to Silver Palaces: America's Streamlined Trailers, a must-have book. It is historically significant for those who suffer from wanderlust, some fulfilled by owning and traveling with a "silver palace," or perhaps owning an older model that's been rebuilt and refurbished.

With a simple, historical beginning, the streamlined trailer got its start. There were challenges in making mobile spaces for living-could anyone make a self-contained streamlined trailer complete with full hookups? After World War II, housecars and motorhomes were seen everywhere-a result of aluminum becoming available for trailers. Once these silver palaces were on the road, RVs and travel associations became popular . . . and well, the end of the highway was never in sight.

Doug Keister has photographed fourteen award-winning, critically acclaimed books. His credits with Gibbs Smith, Publisher, include Stories in Stone: A Field Guide to Cemetery Symbolism and Iconography and Classic Cottages: Simple, Romantic Homes as well as Fernando's Gift (El Regalo de Fernando), a Sierra Club Book for Children. Doug lives in Chico, California.

Teardrops and Tiny Trailers Book

$19.99

Buckle up as Douglas Keister takes you for a decidedly retro ride in the world of diminutive travel trailers in Teardrops and Tiny Trailers. (Hardcover 160 pages). The demand for vintage trailers-the smaller the better-has risen dramatically in recent years, with the most in-demand trailers being "teardrops," first manufactured in the 1930s and containing just indoor sleeping space and an outdoor exterior kitchen. Also profiled in the book are "canned ham" trailers, whose shape resembles the profile of a can of ham; small-size examples of America's most beloved vintage trailer, the Airstream; miniscule gypsy caravans in Europe; and fiberglass trailers made in Canada. Two hundred color photographs showcase these trailers' sleek exteriors, retro-styled interiors, and, in many cases, the restored classic cars that tow them. Teardrops and Tiny Trailers includes a resource section chock-full of places to locate vintage trailers, clubs to join, and rallies to attend.


Photographer/writer Douglas Keister has authored thirty-six critically acclaimed books. His books on classic recreational vehicles include Ready to Roll, Silver Palaces, and Mobile Mansions. In addition, he has authored twenty-five books on architecture, including Inside the Bungalow, Storybook Style, Red Tile Style, Classic Cottages, and Cottages. Keister also writes and illustrates magazine articles and contributes photographs and essays to dozens of magazines, newspapers, books, calendars, posters, and greeting cards worldwide. He lives in Chico, California.

1957 Canned Ham 14' camper cutie. We've transformed this 1957 fourteen-foot-long Canned Ham into a rugged little cutie. Excellent condition. Sleeps four people - with two cozy double beds, pine deck and dining table, plank-effect floor, roomy closet and storage, and inside stove  and sink, Coleman portable heater, and shower tent with great fireman’s shower.. When candle-lit at night or by sunlight, the warm natural-wood walls and ceiling are simply gorgeous. Unlike tear-drops, you can stand up full height. Outside, curved boilerplate shines down low - front and back. The round red bumper and LED lights are stunning. Great tires with classic Wagoneer hubcaps. Price is $8,900 OBO.

1969 Shasta Compact

1969 Shasta Compact *Sweet Pea* Asking: $8900.00. We have decided to sell our cute little trailer that we named Sweet Pea.   This trailer is 13 feet long, 6’6” wide and 7’7” tall.    It weighs 1200lbs and has a hitch weight of about 130 lbs, so it is incredibly lite and can be pulled by smaller vehicles.   It sleeps 2 adults and 2 children. While this trailer does have a few beauty marks (small dents and dings) we have meticulously cared for it inside and out.  We recently sealed the roof, refurbished the vintage appliances and had custom cushions made for both beds.  As you can see from the pics, we have loved this trailer.   It is so fun and ready for you to start making memories in. 
Please call, text or email if you are interested, want more information, more pics or have questions. Located in Wellsville, Utah Mike Howard. (801) 549-7408 , Howard.dasbook@gmail.com
