Letters to the Editor
Hi Lisa,
I just picked up your magazine at Barnes
and Noble. Loved it. I have been looking
for a vintage trailer for over 2 years gone
to several rallies and only stayed in a
cabin at the campground but still had a
great time. It’s hard to find 60 year old
trailers in New England because of our
harsh climate but I’ll keep looking.

Hi Lisa,
I found your Vintage Trailer Magazine
site this evening and have to say ‘very
well done’ and you have great taste in
automobiles. That ’53 Hudson Hornet is
perfect for towing your vintage trailer!
I still have the ’51 Hudson Super 6 my
parents bought new… they are great cars
to tour cross country with. Hope we cross
paths one day.

Hell o Lisa,
My name is Danny Barnett and I live in
Las Vegas. I was in the bookstore and
just happened to see your Issue 37 of
Vintage Trailer Magazine. I was delighted
to read the article and see the pictures
of your journey to the hot air balloons in
New Mexico, driving your 1953 Hudson
Hornet hauling a travel trailer.
Take care,

Hi Lisa!
Love your magazine!
I live in Northern California and travelled
to Canon City Colorado to pick up my
newly renovated 1956 Catolac DeVille
“GiGi”. My Granddaughter and I camped
in her all week long on the way home
through snow, ice, hail, wind, rain and one
day of sunshine in Barstow on Valentines
Day where we BBQ’d steak and had
chocolate cake this last week.
This pic was in Santa Fe New Mexico
(above left).
Hope your winter is short and your
camping season long.

Good Morning Lisa!
We’ve been away from home for several
weeks and just returned. What a pleasant
find to get the VTM Winter Issue in our
stack of mail! Thank you so much for
including such a nice write up and the
photos of my trailer art.
I hope all is well with you and that you
are off on some fun adventure as you are
so keen on meeting interesting travelers,
finding entertaining stories and capturing
fun happenings along the way on your
road trips.
Happy Trails,

Hi Lisa,
My Dad has just recently rescued a 1960s
Carapark caravan that was used for many
family holidays when he was growing up.
It had been sitting on my Granny’s farm in
country Victoria for about 30 years and
was unmovable, as they had basically built
a shed around it. A few months ago he
flew, knocked down the shed and rescued
the old girl! It has since been repaired to a
livable condition and is now happily sitting
in our back garden. My Granny came to visit
a few weeks ago and was simply amazed
that it was being used again. To say she was
over the moon was an understatement! I
found your magazine and showed Granny
some images, we are all very inspired to
do up the inside. I have attached some
photos of our caravan, with Granny and
my dad (above right).

Lisa,
Thank you so much for including our
Jellybean in Vintage Trailer Magazine
#37! It was so exciting to see our trailer in
your great magazine. I can’t wait to show
it to my mother. I know my grandparents
would be SO proud!
Thanks again. Hope you have great travels
in 2018!
