Vintage Trailers Are Where You Find Them

Very cool. Vintage trailer find and many exploring possibilities. I repeat, very cool.

Remember that I said I DO keep up with all the mediums. Just haven't found anything for sale in the price range that I like to keep within. And it's getting harder all the time to find them. I did find one 64 Shasta for free on Craigs List and I was on it in a heartbeat. I was the first caller and my friend Cindy was emailing the owner at the same time I was talking to her on the phone. We both ended up going out there and picking up the trailer and became sort of partners on it. Through some trading I ended up with my Kenskill and Cindy ended up with the Shasta. I put the floor in that Shasta and used it for the flooring videos. Funny how things come together.

So there is nothing wrong with finding your dream on CL or EB or any other way. As the video says, "Vintage Trailers Are Where You Find Them". The "Hunt" is part of the fun I think.

There are a lot more auctions going on these days then I ever remember and older trailers were used for years as security trailers on construction sites. Also the storage yards will pop up with an auction now and again with an abandoned vintage trailer, and they can go for as little as $10 if no one else bids on them. People who usually show up for auctions are not looking for projects. They are looking to flip and the newer trailers are usually easier in their minds to deal with where as the old ones just look like too much work to the average person. So Auctions are another real good choice to look into. The general public is welcome in most cases.

The county auctions off all kinds of stuff sometimes 4 or more times a year depending on how active your area is. Vintage cars and trailers and all kinds of other stuff shows up from drug busts and estates that have no beneficiaries ect.....

I had no idea they were such a hot thing. Then when I posted on FB that I had gotten one, one of my friends informed me she bought one (restored) back in May. I was surprised. She's here somewhere. And hers just looks pretty in her yard and serves as a girl cave. I thought most people just thought I was a little crazy with my love for little trailers.

One of my neighbors stopped by at 8am this morning to look at mine. He thought it was cool, and he wants one!! But my other neighbors aren't going to feel like that. He has a classic car, so he "get" it. I'm surrounded by Stepford Wives here.

Seriously thinking my next step should be to buy some secluded property. I wanted a mountain cabin but I'd be OK with a mountain camper.

Ann do you have enough room on one of your properties for a vintage trailer rally or gathering?

The rallies in your area are most likely finished for the year but try to look up a few for next spring and summer. Go to one or two and you will get the idea. Kinda like a car show but you camp out there.

Just start searching your area when winter is about over. Where are you again? I'm sorry to say I forgot.
