Letters to the Editor
Hi Lisa,
Our camper may not be vintage
enough...it’s a 1986 Airstream Argosy.
We pulled it out of tall grass next to
an old building. It needs some TLC.
The pics (above) are of my son Shane
and my granddaughter Reese starting
the first Demo Day Remodel. I’m also
a member of Sister on the Fly, Sister
#11019.

Hi Paula,
Too cute! Love the tool belt! Imagine
what memories she will have of her
camping adventures in the Argosy when
she grows up? And, for the record; in
my books a vintage trailer is any trailer
that is more than 30 years old, so yes,
your Argosy is perfectly vintage enough!
Have fun with the restoration and best
of luck!
Lisa
Hi Lisa,
Will you be getting any more of your
books in stock? I wanted to order
one for my daughter. She purchased
a vintage trailer to renovate and has
talked her dad and I into purchasing
one too. We have a lot of work ahead of
us. We are all such a huge fan of yours
I know your book would be a great
Christmas present. Thanks

Hi Chris,
Unfortunately, the U.S. distributor of
my book Vintage Trailer Style (Vintage
Caravan Style in the U.K) has increased
the “author discount”, wholesale price
they sell it to me for, to more than you
pay for it on Amazon, which doesn’t
seem quite fair does it? It is available on
Amazon and several other bookstores
though if you do a search for it online
you should hopefully be able to find a
copy. Thanks for the love!

Hi Lisa,
I received my first issue and found it
beautiful and interesting - however -
it was not helpful to me in decorating
my RV. I do not have a caravan or
vintage trailer. I have a 24’ Rialta - class
B. I want to do the interior retro and
thought I would find some ideas in this
magazine. Unfortunately, I found mostly
exterior photos - not helpful when you
do not have a vintage trailer. There is
no way we could carry and display all
that outdoor décor. We travel and stay
most places one or two nights. So for
us it’s all about the
interior. I will
continue to rely
on Pinterest. It is
fun to see what others
are doing and the trailers
are amazing.

Hi Barbara,
Thank you for getting in touch with your
feedback, I appreciate you taking the
time.
Naturally I am disappointed that you
found that the contents of the magazine
were not inspiring to you for retro
interior ideas for your Rialta.
Rest assured I do feature plenty of
interiors as I know that is what most of
our readers want and with such a wide
variety of expressions of individuality in
each trailer, and therefore, each issue of
the magazine, it is not unusual that you
were unable to find what you needed in
just one issue. So, I am going to send
you a few back issues free of charge that
will hopefully help you and do hope you
are able to find what you need.
Just remember, your trailer, whether old
or new, can be all about YOU. So choose
what colors YOU like and what features
YOU want and although pictures in
magazines and on Pinterest etc. are
great sources for concepts and ideas, in
the end it needs to be what makes you
happy more than anything!
And should the pictures fail to inspire
you, I hope at least that the great
stories from other women out there on
the road will!
In the meantime I will take your feedback
on board and try to make sure to have
more interior shots for future issues.
Kindest regards,
Lisa
