�EDITOR'S RAVE�
It’s been a very busy couple of
months since the last issue. We
attended Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly
Festival, then a Sisters on the Fly
Cinco de Mayo campout in Newport,
Oregon. Two days after getting back from
the Pismo Beach Vintage Trailer Rally in
California we were off again to the Rollin’
Oldies Vintage Trailer Rally at Rogue River
in Oregon where we were camping in 90
degree plus heat. So yes, the summer
camping season is well and truly upon us!
There are so many events and rallies
going on in so many places, I’m out and
about every weekend now, yet I still don’t
feel like I’m getting to as many events as
I’d like to be!
But for now I have plenty of juicy content
on some truly spectacular trailers and
inspirational ideas and advice in this
special summer edition of Vintage Trailer
Magazine #34.
As I’ve been packing up, setting up and
packing down quite a bit lately, and
the process is somewhat different here
than it was in Australia, I decided to put
together some of the best tips I’ve been
given as a woman travelling on my own
with a vintage trailer in tow. I’m sure you
can think of many more, and feel free to
write in with your best tips to share, but
let this be a good starting point for those
of you wanting to, but still unsure of the
how-to, of setting out to your first vintage
trailer rally.
Once again I have to thank the owners of
the juicy little cherry-flavored Aloha that
has graced our cover this issue for making
our 4th July themed photo shoot so
much fun and to everyone
who took the time to tell
me all bout the stories
behind the many trailers
that have caught my eyes
in my recent wanderings.
It may take a little while
and a few more issues to
featuring you all, but I’m
working on it!
Updates on upcoming
events that we will be
attending (and when I say
“we” people often ask me to whom I
am referring… I mean my trailer “Rosie”,
“Doc Hudson” my car and I) over the
coming months will also be posted on
our Vintage Trailer Magazine Facebook
page, so do come up and say “Hi” if you
see me out there!
If you are new to the world of vintage
trailers and anxious about what you need
to know and have and how to travel with
a trailer, I would really encourage you to
join up a group such as Tin Can Tourists,
Sisters on the Fly, Rollin’ Oldies Vintage
Trailers, Glampers on the Loose or any
or several of the many vintage trailer
groups around the country. Choose one
that operates actively in your local area,
attend a rally and get to know other
vintage trailer tragics in your area to
network tips and advice and for moral
support on your first few outings.
See you at the next rally!
