We appreciate the support of our subscribers and want to make sure you receive your magazine in a timely manner. Periodicals like the Vintage Camper Trailers magazine are handled differently by the post office than first class mail. It may take up to three weeks (from the day it is mailed) for your issue to arrive in your mailbox. The magazine is mailed the first week of the publication month. (ie: The March/April issue is mailed the first week of March. We do not replace any “missing issues” until April 1st.) Your digital copy of the magazine is available in your dashboard on the first of the month.
Log-in to your dashboard and use the “Missed Issue” option.
Don’t have an account with a dashboard? Let us know so we can send you a replacement copy.
Absolutely! Log in to your account settings on our website or app to manage your account and subscriptions.
We print the number of your “Last Issue” on the mailing indicia of your magazine. If you have a recurring subscription with your PayPal account, PayPal will automatically send us a payment from your account to automatically renew you annually so you never miss an issue.
If your mailing indicia contains an account ID #, your account is manageable through your account dashboard. Use this link to access your account. (You may also cut and paste the link: https://simplecirc.com/subscriber_login/vintage-camper-trailers-magazine )
If you paid by check or cash you need to renew at the same time each year. If we have your current email address we will also send you a reminder.
If your mailing indicia says “Recurring”: Recurring payments are a setting inside of your PayPal account that you opted for when you subscribed. Vintage Camper Trailers Magazine does not have access to your personal PayPal account to make any changes to your settings. If you no longer wish to have recurring payments for the Vintage Camper Trailers Magazine, you will need to make those changes in your personal PayPal account. If you need help with your PayPal account you need to contact PayPal directly for support.

For Trailerfest Rallies, we typically consider trailers manufactured before 1972 as vintage. However, some events offer space and a separate area for modern RVs. It’s important to check the specific event details for more information. Retro-style, reissue models, fiberglass eggs, and teardrops that are designed to look vintage are generally accepted. Motorized RVs and Airstreams from the 1970s are also considered vintage. If you have a unique RV that falls outside these guidelines, feel free to reach out—we’re always open to making exceptions!
NO! Bring your project as long as you can stay in it. There are trailers of all calibers in all stages of restoration. The variety of people and RVs is what makes it interesting and fun.
You may request a specific site or to be with friends but we can not make any guarantees. We want to make Trailerfest the best rally you will ever attend. You may add notes to your reservation or email us if you have special requests like a specific campsite or who you would like to camp with. We make every effort to accommodate. Your requests are more likely to be possible if you register early. Other things like your arrival date, trailer size, and other participants’ set reservations may not be able to meet your request. Remember that everyone wants sites close to the bathroom, with shade, or next to all of their best friends. We will do what we can, but there are only so many bathrooms, the shade changes throughout the day, and everyone can’t be right next to everyone. Specific campsites can never be guaranteed as there can always be last-minute changes with parks beyond our control.
Site numbers are given when you check in at the park. A variety of factors can cause a last-minute change, so we do not typically give out sites in advance. If you are returning to a rally year after year and want to keep your site, we make every effort to accommodate you.
Each park is a little different. Check in times should be on your confirmation that you received from us. You can also go to the RV park website for any rules and guidelines in the park policies. We follow the parks rules.
Pets are a part of camping and are typically welcome if they are well-behaved, mild-mannered, and quiet. Parks may have rules restricting pets, especially when it comes to “vicious breeds” of dogs. Check with the park to see what their rules regarding pets are. Park rules must be followed. Pets are NOT permitted at rally events like potlucks, workshops or other gatherings. (Multiple pets, large breeds, aggressive dogs, or “barkers” are probably not best suited for a vintage trailer rally.)
This is usually not a problem, but if you are concerned, check with the RV park directly. (We typically get a little forgiveness on this one, and electric bikes are prominent at rallies.) In all instances, we will follow the park rules, which may have restrictions on age, hours, helmets, etc. Operators of motor vehicles must be licensed. Adults ONLY may use skateboards if permitted by the park.
