One of the best parts of the vintage trailer hobby is sharing it with others. Whether you’re a proud owner, a restorer, a collector—or just a dreamer—there’s always room for more at a vintage trailer rally. You don’t have to own a shiny, polished vintage rig to be part of the fun. In fact, bringing along friends and family who don’t own a vintage trailer (yet) is a great way to introduce them to the hobby and create lasting memories together.
Many rallies, including the ones featured in Vintage Camper Trailers Magazine, welcome everyone—from die-hard trailerites to first-time campers. It’s not uncommon to find a section at the campground reserved for folks in modern trailers, tents, or even those sleeping under the stars. They’re invited to jump right into the activities, whether it’s a potluck dinner, live music, a trailer open house, games, or simply sitting around the campfire swapping stories.
You never know… that friend who tags along “just to check it out” might catch the bug themselves. Maybe they already have a vintage trailer tucked away, waiting to be restored. Or maybe this experience will inspire them to start the search for their own classic camper. We’ve seen it happen time and time again—the rallies are contagious, and the vintage trailer community has a way of pulling people in.
At Vintage Camper Trailers Magazine, we’ve always believed this hobby isn’t just for collectors and restorers—it’s for admirers, dreamers, and anyone who loves the charm of rolling history and the camaraderie that comes with it. Our rallies reflect that same philosophy: everyone is welcome, and the more, the merrier!
So, don’t leave your friends and family behind. Invite them along to the next rally, even if their camper is modern, borrowed, or still in their dreams. Who knows? The next vintage trailer they fall in love with could be their own.
Have a rally coming up? Bring a friend.
Have a project trailer in the driveway? Bring the dreamers.
Have a love for good people, good times, and cool trailers? You’re already part of the family.
