Very cool story with an audio interview of the guy that found it. He had no idea what kind of trailer it was - just thought it was cool so he bought it. It was in plain site along the highway and he drove by it for 10 years before he finally tracked down the owner... It's for sale but no info on asking price. No one knows for sure - but it's estimated that fewer than 10 of these were ever built and they were crazy expensive for the day. If this can be found your dream trailer is out there too! vintagetrailerfieldguide.com/blogs/news/3rd-holiday-house-model-x-geographic-discovered-in-utah |

Except for the oddball barn find, the desert is the last place to find a camper like this.
Thanks for sharing the article.

I'm not sure fiberglass and the desert get along quite as well as aluminum does...

On the other hand, in NC everything metal rusts. Everything wood disappears. But the fiberglass body would still be there half sunken into damp wet clay. |
