They are also known as “Tin Can Trailers” and “Canned Hams” These vintage beauties were manufactured from the 1940 – 1970’s. Airstream Campers stir a sense of nostalgia of carefree days gone by. Vintage Trailers may not have slide outs and all the fancy amenities modern travel trailers can offer but they what they lack in convince they more than make up for in charm.
