When I first decided on making a website of Vintage Travel Trailers for Sale, I thought, “Who in the world would be looking for old travel trailers”. And much to my surprise, there are quite a few people still interested in the classical {travel} trailers.
As I read more and more, my mind went back to 1965 when I was just a girl of eighteen. Oh what a great life we had back then, huh?Afer Dad decided to get out of the Marines, he came across some old friends from that those days. His name was Red Martin, just in case anyone remembers him. His wife was Maggie and their son was Butch. Also, Jim and Laverne Weis were great fun to be around and also involved with Kenskill travel trailers.Anyways, let me continue.We were in Orange County before moving. to the Valley in California. There my Dad, Mom and myself nestled into our new life of being civilians.We relocated to that area to be closer to where my Dad worked at Kenskill Travel Trailers.Dad presented many of the new travel-trailers during many of the shows. I can remember one tradeshow, in particular, that I attended with them. It was at Dodger’s Stadium in the huge parking lot with all of the new travel trailers and some classical vintage travel trailers from the 1940’s. We were like one big family back then in the travel trailer business. Most of the time, my Dad would be whistling the song “Trailers for Sale or Rent”. Great times were in abundance! This website will be here for remembrances of what the vintage trailers for sale used to be like.
The vintage trailers at that time were more of the long long trailer and Kenskill was at the height of making the 18’ classic enclosed trailer for smaller families to be able to go camping for the weekend. Kenskill was a big name in the 1960’s in California.A much cherished travel family treasured by all. The travel trailer supplies and equipment were top of the line for those days.Our largest competitor was the used airstreem at that time.The Kenskill Company only turned out high-quality trailers and their supply stocks were plentiful. Sadly, the vintage camping trailers are all but a few. You might be able to at least see one if you are lucky enough to get to a big trailer tradeshow in a large city.I would be a dream come true to really enjoy owning one, they are so spectacular in person. I guess if I really added up the years, you could call them antique travel trailers now. But I won’t, because that will make me feel too old!
Let’s not forget the classical airstream trailers. They are also a true work of art with their curved wood panels in the interior to the flashy silver streak trailers on the outside. A used Airstream classic travel trailer is a legend in the truest sense of classic travel trailers. The Airstream trailer following is huge among vintage travel trailer associations. You can always find trailer supplies through catalogs to spruce yours up, if you are lucky enough to possess one.
Let me say a little more about these wonderful antique trailers that you can buy.Going on the internet will give you many sources for getting your supply of trailer replenishments. I almost forgot to mention two more classic trailers. They are the vintage tag-a-long camper and the 1951 vintage vagabond trailer.All were special days of slow-going lives, longer weekends and many days of family fun in the camping trailers back then.
