Camping 1940s style.


Camping 1940s style. A typical car-camping setup. The "Teardrop" style trailer or caravan which was so incredibly popular in the 1930s and 1940s is making a big comeback today. See the contemporary interpretations of this camping classic at http://bit.ly/18XbVXU.

    There are some companies reviving these small trailers now but the prices seem too high.

    Steve Hart See the link I include in the post. Yes, there are several companies reviving the teardrop camper concept. And the variations are wild! And expensive. The teardrop was the common man's camper.

    Living in a holiday area, I've seen several similar in style in the UK.

    Bulleit Bourbon had two trailers made as a promotion, though were for sale through Neiman Marcus for $150,000 each.

    +Mike Martin, We have a Steeplechase near here called Point-to-Point where the tailgating is over-the-top. Your Neiman Marcus trailers would fit right in http://goo.gl/1qBL0W

    I'd like both of these and a place to store them. And someone to maintain them.

    Ann Kennedy I think if you have enough to buy them in the first place, a place to store them and someone to maintain would be no problem. 
    The trailers are cute however. They are taking off (I believe) because folks are downsizing to small living spaces like never before. Have you noted the small space living posts on the internet?

    Margaret Siemers Yes, it seems as if Houzz features small quarters every few weeks. I find them very intriguing, as is the notion of living without "stuff". That said, I love my stuff and I like a reasonable amount of space and detest huge living spaces.  Have you read Marie Kondo's book, The Life Changing Magic of Tidying up?

    No, but it sounds like I need to read it Ann Kennedy  lol. I can always use some "Life Changing Magic". I am going to check to see if Amazon has that. Thank you!
