Does anyone have any details about The 1935 Ritzy Trailer kits? I found some cool literature. Just trying to get any additional details? I have instructions and blue prints that are dated from 1935. Can I post pictures on the Forum?

 to VTT. I am sure that our Members would enjoy looking at any reproductions of what you have found. I believe you can post pictures of what you found. Just follow the tutorial explained for posting photos. As far as the particular camper you mention, I have never heard of a Ritzy Cabin, but in the mid 30's there was a keen interest in small camping trailers, but very few commercisal manufacturers, so people with the skills to do so were making their own campers. Here is a thread to one person who has collected some of the DIY plans for vintage campers...some well known and some obscure, to give you an idea of what was being published in magazines like Mechanix Illustrated. howtobuildplans.com/?wpsc_product_category=old-vintage-camper-trailer-plans%2F&paged=3s Here is an old 1941 Mechanix Illustrated clipping about a homebuilder and what his imagination has created... blog.modernmechanix.com/mags/qf/c/MechanixIllustrated/8-1941/med_limp_trailer.jpg

It is always interesting to see what was out there. When going to the Mechanix llustrated page be sure o click on the page one two and three. The first page to come up was actually page three.
And I dont know how the lettering changed from the straight up and down to the slanted letters. LOL I musta pushed a wrong button somewheres. LOL
