If you’ve spent any time around the vintage trailer hobby, you already know it’s about so much more than aluminum curves and classic lines. It’s about people. Community. Nostalgia. Creativity. That spark you feel when you step inside a lovingly restored camper and instantly sense the stories it carries.
That spirit is exactly what inspired us to create our two books: Vintage Camper Trailers and its companion, Vintage Camper Trailer Rallies. Each book stands on its own, but together they offer a complete journey into the trailers, the lifestyle, and the thriving community that keeps this hobby so vibrant.

Vintage Camper Trailers: A Love Letter to Midcentury Americana
Our first book, Vintage Camper Trailers, celebrates the iconic trailers that shaped midcentury travel culture and continue to spark joy today. Think of it as a big, colorful gathering of the people who have kept these time capsules alive.
Inside, you’ll find:
- Hundreds of full-color photographs showcasing everything from polished-to-perfection showpieces to well-loved family treasures
- Personal stories from owners who’ve restored, inherited, renovated, or reimagined their trailers
- A wide variety of styles—glamping beauties, “brickety but beloved” classics, and even entrepreneurial trailers turned into mobile vending booths
- A design that invites browsing again and again—at ¾” thick and printed in full color on all 199 pages
- A sturdy hardcover format built to withstand years of flipping, dreaming, and getting your “camper fix” whenever the mood strikes
One reviewer summed it up perfectly:
“More of a coffee table book filled with great photos and articles… Wonderful articles on vintage campers.”
— Benjamin Gall, 5-star review
This book is for anyone who loves the look, feel, and stories behind vintage trailers—even if you don’t own one (yet).
Vintage Camper Trailer Rallies: A Celebration of Community
With the success of our first book came a natural next step—capturing the incredible energy that happens when vintage trailer folks come together. Vintage Camper Trailer Rallies dives into the events that define this hobby and connect the people who keep it alive.
This follow-up book pays tribute to:
- Rallies and gatherings across the country, featuring hundreds of new photos
- The friendly, DIY spirit of trailerites, shown through costumes, open houses, decorations, and all the fun that comes with rally weekends
- The major clubs and groups that support the lifestyle, including Tin Can Tourists, the Wally Byam Airstream Club, and Sisters on the Fly
- A concise history of camper trailers, tracing how this hobby has evolved
- Tips on organizing your own rally, based on our years of hands-on experience hosting events
Whether you’re a long-time rallygoer or dreaming of attending your first one, this book captures the camaraderie and creativity that make these gatherings unforgettable.
A Perfect Pair for Any Vintage Trailer Enthusiast
Together, these two books offer a full-circle look at the lifestyle—from the trailers themselves to the people and gatherings that bring them to life. They make great gifts, great coffee table companions, and great inspiration for your next project or road trip.
If you love vintage trailers, midcentury culture, or the community that surrounds this hobby, you’ll find plenty to enjoy in both volumes. And who knows—they might just spark your next adventure.
