This is a Custom, tribute style build, based on a 1940’s Fleet Cabin Car trailer.
Built in 2006, it is a comfortable, modern camping trailer that looks vintage.

If you like friendly interaction with other people, this trailer is ready made for you! It draws smiles and awe inspired conversation most everywhere, from the gas station to the grocery store, to the campground.

Great to pull behind your vintage car for tours, or hook it up to your modern car and go off on a grand camping adventure! It is a functional, comfortable travel trailer!

We created this trailer because we love camping, but were ready to upgrade from the tent that we always seemed to be setting up, and taking down in the dark, while it rained. And then there was hauling all the bedding, camp kitchen, and supplies! And...once you get settled in, having to go on a trek to find a bathroom...
It is so nice to get where you are going, and do nothing more than open the door and take one easy step up inside for a good night’s rest.
Your bed is already made; you have lights, television, and a clean bathroom!
Setting up camp can wait till tomorrow!

Easy to maneuver on the road and in the campground, fast to set up, and it will fit in a 1 car garage.

Trailer tows with no sway at 75+ mph.
Trailer weight is 2200# dry. Fully loaded is around 3000#. Tongue weight is 280#.

Full size bed

12 Volt self contained electrical system (battery powered)

21 gallon fresh water tank

Currently licensed. Clear title in my name



Though it still shows very well, in the 16 years we have enjoyed it, it has collected some scratches and dings inside and out, along with some areas of checking on the exterior. The decorative vinyl covering the stainless steel piano hinges is aging. The brass and copper has weathered to a nice patina, but could be polished if you prefer the shiny look.

I have tried to give a full accounting of any issues I am aware of. If there is something you want more information about, please ask!
I want the next owner to be as happy and satisfied as we have been!

This trailer is ready to camp in today!

Waiting for "someday" will leave you on your deathbed wondering why you didn't just rearrange your priorities and enjoy the time you had, instead of waiting for a "better" time to come along...
