Converting Cargo Trailers into TTTs

The house car is British from 1936 and the trailer is American from 1936. I doubt they ever went together. They just happen to be in the RV museum near each other in chronological order. They are one image on the Internet, so I couldn't separate them to show just the British house car.

8) If you like slide, you'll appreciate Roy on a 12-string resonator geetar. Somebody here was kind enough to recommended this guy to me. (Thanks!)

Prem, Howdy;

About the wooden spokes, I'm curious about the Tow Vehicle,
Looks an awful lot like a '32 Ford roadster model I used to build
when I was a teenager. The model came with both wire spoke
(think bicycle or motorcycle), and metal spoke simulated wheels.
Can not offer an opinion on the Trailer. It would be interesting to
find out more about it.

piperpilot,

When I saw this one I thought of you, so here it is:

:D Is it in NJ or FL or another state?

:no: I don't know. Sorry.

8) I guess this person won the lottery, just really liked living in that trailer and decided to keep it.

A single wide like that would be good for tornado evasion purposes. Just pick up and fly to another trailer park that is not in the path of danger :FNP

Prem, Howdy;

That last one looks to be in my part of the Country...
Not enough evaporation to create clouds, hardscaped yard,
lots of scrub oak and mesquite ... Really like the barrel style hot-tub.

Also looks like the wide metal roof/sunshield is being used for a rain catchment system. I wonder if the round tub is a hot tub or a part of the cisterns.
