How cute is this little camper from the latest Cath Kidston online magazine? (Thanks Will)! It's a vintage 70s Abbey and I'm loving it's little Cath Kidston floral trimmings (you might have to take a closer look by visiting the magazine). Every year about this time I start dreaming of taking a little road trip in a cute little vintage trailer just like this and always find myself searching the classifieds for a possible treasure. If you go back in time here, I'm sure you'll find many posts on camping. Here's this year's quest.
First off, let's take a look at vintage trailers:

And then there are the new.
The Outback by Trillium Trailers
The Outback has got to be one of the cutest "new" trailers being made out there. Based on the popular Boler trailer (see above), this Calgary (Alberta)-based company has created a newer looking version filled with the latest technologies (check out their Build Your Own Outback page for a list of all available options).
GO! from Sylvan Sport
The GO! by Sylvan Sport may just very well be the coolest camper (well tent trailer) around. Designed to be a one-of-a-kind mobile adventure trailer that's even more versatile than a Swiss Army knife. It's lightweight and easy to manage in the parking lot, garage or on the road. Weighing in at 800 lbs, the GO! can be pulled by even the smallest cars.
What's your favourite? Maybe I've missed a gem?

That tent trailer looks really cool though.
In the meantime, we rent cabins when we want to be outdoorsy.
Melanie - that is super cute! thanks for showing it to me.
Melanie - good idea - renting a cabin!
Erin - wow!

Mo Pie, Please - : ) Cool to hear, thanks!
My uncle has a 66 Cardinal trailer that he has redone, and I dream of finding a little turquoise canned ham to call my own ... ah. one day.

I think the brand is Polletta or Poletta (Polish brand). My grandparents had one of those.
Check out our vintage Airstream that we are doing up, and keeping original I hasten to add.

Not as pretty as those caravans - but great if you have a family.
I also have a vintage caravan from the 70s, a Norwegian Bjølseth. I love it! We haven't been camping with her yet (her name is Astrid..), but as soon as the vacations starts.. Six days left.
She is so beautiful kept. We have changed all the fabric, so she is fresh as a four year old girl, and yet kept original in every other way.
Thanks for the peak!
