Dick and I have become members of the Tin Can Tourists Organization. Our membership became official during our initiation ceremony over this past weekend at a rally in Cedar Key, Florida. After learning the club's hand symbol, handshake, and song, we were welcomed into this vintage travel trailer club that was started in 1919. Here is a photo of the 1940 (?) travel trailer that we are restoring. On Saturday, all of the vintage trailers were open to walk through. I fell in love with the kitchen in a 1950 Spartanette.
This is a view from the living room through the kitchen toward the bedroom. The walls, cabinets, sink, and appliances are all original to the trailer.
Look at this round corner cabinet that has interior shelves. Oh, yes. I can envision frequently used items happily tucked behind that door. My blender immediately came to mind, but if I had the retro stainless steel model in this photo, I would leave it on the counter, too.
The weather was perfect for a bike ride. These pelicans had a rally of their own on a dilapidated structure on the Gulf of Mexico shore.
