When I first decided on making a website of Vintage Travel Trailers for Sale, I thought, “Who in the world would be looking for old travel trailers”. And much to my surprise, there are quite a few people still interested in the classical {travel} trailers.
As I read more and more, my mind went back to 1965 when I was just a girl of eighteen. Oh what a great life we had back then, huh?After retiring from the military, my Father found old friends that he had known in the past. His name was Red Martin, just in case anyone remembers him. His wife was Maggie and their son was Butch. Also, Jim and Laverne Weis were great fun to be around and also involved with Kenskill travel trailers.So, continuing on with the memories.We were in Orange County before moving. to Granada Hills, Ca. There my Dad, Mom and myself nestled into our new life of being civilians.We relocated to that area to be closer to where my Dad worked at Kenskill Travel Trailers.Dad went to travel shows to exhibit the newest ones that were for sale.Remembering a show that I went to with my parents was really memorable. It was at Dodger’s Stadium in the outside parking lot with all of the new travel trailers and some classical vintage travel trailers from the 1940’s. We were all very close back then in the travel trailer business. Most of the time, my Dad would be whistling the song “Trailers for Sale or Rent”. Great times were in abundance!In order for all of us to definitely keep our thoughts about classic travel trailers and how they used to be, this internet page will be around forever.
The classical trailers at that time were more of the long long trailer and Kenskill was at the height of making the 18’ classic enclosed trailer for smaller families to be able to go camping for the weekend. Kenskill was a big name in the 1960’s in California.A much cherished travel family treasured by all. The travel trailer supplies and equipment were top of the line for those days. The used airstream classic travel trailer was the biggest competition.The Kenskill Company only turned out high-quality trailers and their supply stocks were plentiful. Sadly, the vintage camping trailers are all but a few. You might be able to at least see one if you are lucky enough to get to a big trailer tradeshow in a large city.If you could see one, you would be amazed, and to purchase one would be awesome. I guess if I really added up the years, you could call them antique travel trailers now. But I won’t, because that will make me feel too old!
Let’s not forget the classical airstream trailers. They are also a true work of art with their curved wood panels in the interior to the flashy silver streak trailers on the outside. A used Airstream classic travel trailer is a legend in the truest sense of classic travel trailers.Amongst the groups of people that are in clubs that persue the Airstream trailers is very large. You can always find trailer supplies through catalogs to spruce yours up, if you are lucky enough to own one.
Let me say a little more about these wonderful antique trailers that you can buy.For the restocking of your trailer’s necessities, going to different websites is a suggestion. I almost forgot to mention two more classic trailers. They are the vintage tag-a-long camper and the 1951 vintage vagabond trailer.All were special days of slow-going lives, longer weekends and many days of family fun in the camping trailers back then.
