How to Search for Vintage Campers

Camper trailers from the 1940s through the 1960s have made a big comeback in recent years. The aesthetics, durability and versatility of the "canned ham" and Airstream trailer models make them popular purchases for both those who want to camp in vintage style and entrepreneurs looking for a unique, mobile venue for a boutique shop or food trailer. While actual vintage campers are more difficult to find than their modern counterparts, there are enough enthusiasts on the internet to make your search possible, whether you want a fully restored camper or a fix-it-up project.
