Trailer Pick of the Day – Canadian Camper

The camping season in northern Canada is short, but if you have a cozy trailer to keep you warm at night, you can make it last a little longer.  This little 1965 Airstream Globetrotter recently took its family camping at Bakers Narrows in northern Manitoba.

Thanks to my friend, Kristy, for letting me share.

Trailer Pick of the Day – Toile de Jouy

Posted by Rebecca

Toile de Jouy is described by Merriam-Webster as”an 18th century French scenic pattern usually printed on cotton, linen, or silk in one color” on a lighter background.  Well, here’s a little Toile de Jouy, 20th century trailer-style.

Trailer Pick of the Day – Red

My friend, Carice, sent me a photo the other day, of this great little camper bopping down the freeway.  I love the color, and I would love to spend summer evenings by the lake in that thing!

Do you ever come across great trailer-photo-opportunities?  If you do, snap the picture and email it to me.  I’d love to feature your photo on the blog.  Send them to rebeccanmpa@yahoo.com.

Trailer Pick of the Day – Ocean View

Posted by Rebecca

The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever. -Jacques Cousteau

Because there’s nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it’s sent away. –Sarah Kay

At the beach, life is different. Time doesn’t move hour to hour but mood to moment. We live by the currents, plan by the tides, and follow the sun. -Anonymous

Ocean Front RV Park is the perfect spot to enjoy the vast expanse of the sea from the comfort of your travelling home.

Trailer Pick of the Day – Angie’s Place

Posted by Rebecca

Angie and I have been friends for almost 8 years.  A couple of years ago she moved from Reno to Brookings, OR.  I spent a day with her last weekend and she told me she had recently moved into a trailer and was working on the renovations.  Next to my dad, she’s my biggest blog fan, and was so inspired by trailerchic that she was bursting with excitement over her new project and trailer home.

Angie promises to email me some before and after photos of the inside, but until then, here are a couple of the outside.

Living so close to the ocean, Angie’s collecting driftwood and using her creativity to bring a bit of the beach to her front porch.  Check out the mirror and lampshade she recently constructed.

Thanks, Angie and Chewy, for the tour and the visit!

Trailer Pick of the Day – Racing Stripes

Posted by Rebecca

I spotted this fancy guy yesterday.  I love it – the great yellow hue, contrasting silver, and the cool racing stripes.  Sure it needs a little sprucing up, but just imagine the potential….  🙂

Trailer Pick of the Day – The Honey Pot

Posted by Rebecca

It’s still the middle of winter, but I am dreaming of sultry summer nights with the scent of coconutty suntan lotion and sweet waffle cones lingering in the air.  I long for evenings of sitting on a blanket at the park and enjoying the lastest culinary creation from a local food truck….

If you live in Portland, OR, you can catch a glimpse of summer at The Honey Pot, which serves sweet and savory pies out of an adorable Airstream trailer.

Do you have any reminders of summer making an appearance in your neighborhood?

If you ever forget that you live in a trailer, you just have to check out the awning for a reminder.

I wonder if it’s komfortable?

–          The Holland Tunnel under the Hudson River opens, connecting New York and New Jersey.

–          Charles Lindberg flies the first solo transatlantic flight.

–          Work begins on Mount Rushmore.

–          Josef Stalin takes power of the Communist Party in Russia.

–          Benito Mussolini is Prime Minister of Italy.

–          Roger Moore, Gina Lollobrigida, Sidney Poitier, Harry Belafonte, and Pope Benedict XVI were all born.

–          The Harlem Globetrotters play their first game.

–          Ford Motor Company begins production of the Model A.

–          A record cost $0.39, chicken was $0.42/lb., eggs were $0.59/dozen, milk was $0.56/gallon, and a raccoon coat would set you back $39.50.

–          Oh, and this little trailer park was born, just steps from the Truckee River in Reno, Nevada.
