Vintage camper trailers are a unique symbol of midcentury America that resonates with many people. This book introduces many of those people, along with the trailers they’ve lovingly maintained or restored. It includes hundreds of photographs of everything from fancy and comfortable trailers designed for glamping (glamorous camping), to trailers handed down through families across generations, and even entrepreneurs who have transformed their trailers into vending booths. Paul Lacitinola enjoys everything about vintage camper trailers, including rescuing, restoring, and rallying. In 2011, he began publishing the first U.S.-based magazine for collectors, restorers, and admirers of American-made camper trailers, Vintage Camper Trailers, which now has thousands of subscribers in more than a dozen different countries. He lives in Elverta, California.

Pretty much since I was old enough to hold a wrench, I was working on some sort of project with my dad. He was a tinkerer, inventor, and all-around handyman. His favorite projects were fixing up cars and old campers - Airstreams, motorhomes of all classes, and RVs of all sizes. In fact, when he passed away, I am sure there were at least 3 or 4 unfinished, ongoing projects still left in his garage. Luckily, I inherited much of his know-how when it came to refurbishing and refinishing fixer-uppers. It's Easy - Anyone Can Do It!
