The Illustrated Field Guide to Vintage Trailers has a digital companion: the Vintage Trailer ID App

The “Vintage Trailer ID App 1.0” is a digital companion to "The Illustrated Field Guide to Vintage Trailers," which builds on the field guide's information and illustrations. The app allows you to filter, compare, and identify vintage trailers by manufacturer, brand, year, body style, skin material, exterior finish, and length. The “Vintage Trailer ID App” does not have the manufacturer histories, spotting notes, and extra information that is the field guide. It will never make a good fire starter, either. The app is available at www.vintagetrailerfieldguide.com now and is accessible to cell phones and desktops alike. So, you can use...

Episode 7: 1948 Curtis Wright

Give a listen to the story of the loving restoration of Dave and Lori Whites' 1948 Curtis Wright Model 5 Clipper. It took over five-years and multiple attempts to make it their own.

One time at Boot Camp...

Way back in early March 2020 we took a road trip from our hometown of Portland, Oregon to Hollister, California and Vintage Camper Trailer Magazine's boot camp. It's about a twelve or so hour drive according to google maps, but we make it into a two-day trip down the I-5 corridor with a few stops along the way.
