Hi Friends, Looking up motor mount issues for a Ford Focus and spied some click bait for a vintage trailer called a Sellwood. This must be new as the promo video was put out about 3 weeks ago. It has the sardine can shape and seems to be well built at first glance. They are built by a teardrop trailer manufacturer in Oregon and for $39k you can have a new one. It's three grand extra for one including a bathroom. With all the bad I hear about newly built trailers by large manufactures like the retro Shastas, this might be an alternative that is well built and comfortable. That's just a guess. Do a Google search on Sellwood Vintage Trailer and you can find the website. I wish they came in other colors besides the grey with the turquois band like a white with a red band. Cheers, Rod

I watched the video and it looks to be extremely well built with a number of great upgrades but in today's environment that leads to it being BIG time expensive!

Ya i saw this a while back. Someone on You Tube interviewed the owner and took a tour of both models. The bathroom one is just too dang crowded and this thing in my opinion is way over priced just like everything else on the market. It does have a lot of bells and whistles but it's still just a box on wheels.

I like the shape but I agree it lacks the character of vintage. The price is high but unlike the people here, he actually wants to be paid for his effort.
