Travel trailer talk... Is there a place here for it?

This one looks similar, but not as cool as yours M.T.

That last one looks like it was used in the Lucy and Desi movie from the early 60's! LOL..

The blue & white/red & white models are Shasta trailers. M.T. had me heading that way until he mentioned that he fabricated the wings on his, and they're more art deco anyway.

Sadly, I kno of a scrapper who has cleaned this entire area of vintage travel trailers but always seems to find more. By the time they hit his yard, they are damaged pretty badly since he just slams them togther. One I was considering trying to rescue since it was about a 30' teardrop looking model that had to be from the late 30's, but the day I went to try to see if I could recover it, it was basically gone.

That's sad.. From what I have seen,,they are being restored all the time up in your country,,and much sought after down here..I wonder why the guy doesn't get them in his yard and sell them??

Sorry,,couldn't visualise a trailer behind a Cobra.. That little 13 footer would look kool behind it,too.. There is a group on fb dedicated to vintage trailers,,and there are some awesome looking jobs on there.. Some must weigh a ton,,with the full size fridges,and stoves in them,,and the 17 foot single axle jobs must be fun on the highway..

Your memory is fading Robin . . . you followed us out of the Napier/Taihape road some years back when we were pulling our pop-top behind the Cobra . . .

Nope..Couldn't visualise a trailer that size behind a Cobra.. A bit different to the average pop top jobbie. ;)

It was a pain in the butt towing the caravan behind the Cobra.
Normally the noise from the exhausts dissipates behind you, and the noise level is quite bearable; in fact you can even make conversation.
With the caravan on behind the noise hit it and 'bounced' back forward; a couple of hours of that and you got fed up with it.
