One of the standout trailers at Trailerfest Vintage Trailer Rally was a truly unique piece of rolling art—the 1937 Hayes Cruiser, custom-built by Brian and Melissa Morrow. Traveling over 750 miles from their home in Bonney Lake, Washington to California, the Morrows brought more than just a vintage trailer—they brought a one-of-a-kind creation that blends pre-war style with modern creativity.
At first glance, the Hayes Cruiser looks like a beautifully preserved relic from the 1930s, complete with a weathered finish that hints at decades of travel. But don’t be fooled—this trailer has been completely rebuilt from the ground up. The Morrows have masterfully reimagined the trailer to be safe, roadworthy, and perfectly suited to their style.
The exterior sports a painted-on patina, artfully applied to give it that authentic, aged look without sacrificing structural integrity. Step inside, and you’re transported into a space that’s anything but traditional. The interior is steampunk-inspired, with creative touches that blend vintage industrial flair and imaginative design—think exposed hardware, metallic accents, and whimsical details that make the trailer feel like something straight out of a retro-futuristic novel.
The Hayes Cruiser is more than just a camper—it’s a moving expression of craftsmanship, vision, and love for all things vintage with a twist. Brian and Melissa’s ability to honor the past while adding their own personality makes this tiny trailer a standout wherever it goes.
