We’re thrilled to announce that we are publishing the Vintage Camper Trailer Cookbook, written by Paul and Caroline Lacitinola. The book is scheduled to ship in March of 2026, and we’re now taking pre-orders for signed copies that will include a few special extra goodies.
This cookbook brings together our love of vintage camper trailers, camping, and cooking. Inside, you’ll find more than 140 easy-to-follow recipes for outdoor meals—everything from Dutch oven dinners and campfire breakfasts to crowd-pleasing dishes perfect for rallies and family gatherings. Whether you’re feeding two or twenty, these recipes are meant to make outdoor cooking simple and fun.
The book is also a visual treat. Designed with vintage photos and postcards, it captures the nostalgia of midcentury camping while celebrating the community that keeps the hobby alive today. It’s as much fun to flip through as it is to cook from, making it a great gift for anyone who loves trailers, camping, or retro style.
This project has been a labor of love, and we couldn’t have done it without the help of friends in the trailer community. A huge thank-you to Phil Noyes (Trailerama) for sharing images from his private collection, Johnny Agnew and Steven Butcher from Funky Junk Farms, Scott Burud, Glenn Jensen, and the many fellow trailerites who contributed their favorite recipes. Your support helped bring this cookbook to life.
Cooking has always been part of our journey. Before vintage trailers took center stage in our lives, Paul owned a bakery and coffee shop, roasting beans and baking from scratch every day. That same passion for food and gathering people together inspired this book. Caroline always says Paul plans rallies just to have an excuse to make pancakes for a crowd—and she’s probably right!
We can’t wait to share this with you. Pre-order your signed copy today and be among the first to receive the Vintage Camper Trailer Cookbook in March 2026.
