Re: Show me your Mobile Home/Camper!
Found these on Facebook yesterday.
Particularly interested in the camper trailer that unfolds to the sides, with the tattered canvas roof. Anyone built something like that, or have similar photos? |

Not an A but a T camper, aka Telescoping Apartment.

Re: Show me your Mobile Home/Camper!
Thanks to all. I enjoyed seeing the photos. Being the caretaker of a roadster, a trailer just might be in my future. It's yours.......do it your way! Russ

http://hotrodsbyhg.com/current_proje...y%20Camper.htm for restoration of a replica Traveler's Wagon. Ford made a few (10 or so) of them - think they were all 1931. The original had built-in camping equipment (fold-down bed, icebox, water tank, etc) in the back and screens instead of glass in the side panels. They were an offshoot of the Special Delivery (also rare) which was pretty much the same except for solid wood side panels and no camping equipment. Unlike the Station Wagon, those two bodies had roll-up windows and locking handles on the doors. Also check out: http://www.housetrucks.com/maindex.html advertises the site owner's book but has lots of pix (click on them for even more). |

Re: Show me your Mobile Home/Camper!
Saw one of these heading across the Nullabor 2 years ago. Slept 2 and was the centre of attraction

Re: Show me your Mobile Home/Camper!
At a local car show last summer I saw a neat camper that fits on the roof of a car. It folds out and has a ladder for the side of the car so you can climb up to the roof top tent.

Re: Show me your Mobile Home/Camper!
Yes, that looks real close as I remember it. It was on top of a Corvair.
I remember the owner telling that he got it for almost nothing. |

There was a really neat Model A camping display at the Old Car Festival last Sept.

Re: Show me your Mobile Home/Camper!
Remember seeing some well designed small, vintage "teardrop" type camper plans either in original copies of old Popular Mechanics or Mechanics Illustrated, maybe in issues during the late 1920's or 1930's which were wood framed with curved painted plywood front, top, & rear, with vertical flat sides and a side entrance/exit door.
Kitchen equipment was accessed at the rear through a curved and top hinged opening, similar to a car trunk. Seems as though one may be able to obtain copies of these vintage magazine articles & plans which may be "indexed" on line. Also, many "Do-It-Yourself", (DIY) plans, (including vintage teardrop plans), are available "today" on line. Not one of them will ever fit 100% of your needs; but, once one has a basic plan, alterations may be made to suit one's individual needs. |

Re: Show me your Mobile Home/Camper!
According to one inflation calculator, the $5000 pricetag on the 1932 Scarab mentioned in post #4 would be almost $90,000 today. Oddly, at auction it probably would bring even more than that!
