Thanks, I had that link many months ago but lost it. I kind of like the roof line of the trailer at the top.

A lot looked like they were build for camping, but were used as homes.

Back in the 50s, 60s and 70s when we had a pretty large farm we had a bunch of small camping trailers for labor housing. A few lived in them for most of the year. Little more than a camper.

I remember one that was of very high quality construction and finish. I have no idea what the name was but it was around the farm for over 10 years. Under the tongue there was a set of small double boggy wheels. I would say it was built in the late thirties, maybe 40's. We stayed in it a few times when we was on the range tending to the sheep. That experience is what kept me from getting a Coleman lantern until 2010. I just remember dad having to fiddle with it and an occasional small explosion. I had a fair collection of stoves before I got my first lantern. And my life has been down hill ever since.

Hi Sagebrush. Great pics, thank you. I was always pondering what a caddy (1950's) would look like. The idea of that experiment has s;owed.
Enjoy, Chris
