Age: 12 going on whatever (it’s all about the attitude!) Hometown: Phoenix, Ariz. Occupation: Sister #1 (founding sister), Sisters on the Fly Trailer: Lots! First in the clan is Lucy. She had lots of paint that had to be stripped. Now she’s painted in obnoxious colors, all the better to stand up and be noticed. Favorite thing about tin can tourism: “When you’re on a trip with other Sisters, your vintage camper is the time-out room. You can shut the door, enjoy your favorite things in the world (which you have in your trailer), and it makes you happy. “When you go to bed at night, you’re curled up in your own feather bed; you can smell the outdoors, you can see your cowgirl hat and chaps, and it brings you peace and joy. Right outside, all around you, are your fellow Sisters, so there’s safety in the togetherness.” Biggest piece of advice for new female trailer owners: “Husbands should stay out of it. It’s her trailer — it’s got to be girly and fun. Don’t be putting your own opinion in there. That’s good advice for a happy marriage!”
If you’ve been following my teeny weeny trailer travels, you know that I hit the road and have adventures in Virginia, my 1968 Scotty camper. But some of you have expressed concern: Am I alone? Am I safe? Am I off my rocker?
I can’t answer the last question — although I think it’s pretty darn sane to want to see the country via back roads — but I’m definitely not alone, and I’m super safe. Why? Because Virginia and I camp with other “tin can tourists,” or folks for whom vintage trailer camping is also a passion. Straight people. Gay people. Older people. Younger people. Men. Women. Midwesterners and southerners, cowgirls and artists, even dogs with their very own teeny weeny trailers. You name ’em, they tow ’em.
That’s why, this week, I thought I’d introduce you to some of the most die-hard trailer camping folks across the country.
