Little Vintage Trailer

Depuis que j'ai lu le livre "Cool Caravanes" (la vogue des caravanes rétro), je visite de plus en plus de sites consacrés aux caravanes rétro. En voici un à visiter… Little Vintage Trailer. Vous y trouverez l'inspiration si, en plus, vous aimez le "vintage".

A propos de ce site : «What is Little Vintage Trailer all about?
This website was started to bring together those that love vintage trailers of all kinds as well as share information such as; camping, glamping, how to’s, events, decorating, campfire recipes and so much more. It’s all about ‘happiness on wheels’ just like our tag line states and sharing in a love for these sweet little trailers that bring so much happiness into our lives. Whether you have a 40 foot trailer (or caravan for our UK friends) or a 10 footer, you are welcome here! My hope is that you will find inspiration throughout this site whether you currently have a trailer, are searching for the perfect one or just discovering the wonderful world of vintage trailers. May it help you to find your own happiness {on wheels}».

Certains utilisent leur caravane comme boutique ambulante, à voir sur le blog Honeybean. Comment une banale caravane, une fois transformée (photos des étapes de la transformation), est devenue une jolie boutique où l'on peut trouver des vêtements de designers, entre autres…
«Welcome to the Honeybean dream, home of Honeybean Mobile Boutique! Born in August 2011, Honeybean is your one-stop-shop for a wide variety of handmade and vintage goods in Nashville, Tennessee. Operating out of a 1968 Yellowstone camper we affectionately call Bernadette, Honeybean aims to bring the best indie designers to you!».

D'autres, comme Happy Loves Rosie, louent leur caravane comme "mannequin" pour des photos… c'est comme cela que cette caravane a fait la couverture du magazine «Vintage Caravan Magazine» le n°5, un magazine - comme son nom l'indique - consacré aux caravanes vintage.

Et voilà le prochain livre que je vais dévorer… il devrait arriver par La Poste demain… "Sisters on The Fly" - 160 pages de Irene Rawlings, paru en mai 2010. Best-seller, il s'est vendu à plus de 1 183 334 d'exemplaires en Grande-Bretagne, où il a eu plus de succès qu'aux USA :-).

About the book: «The Sisters on the Fly know they're having more fun than anyone! Now you're invited to join them on their cross-country road trips as author Irene Rawlings takes you inside the Sisters' decorated vintage trailers. Each trailer reflects its owner's personality, and the Sisters share their individual stories behind their loving restorations--and a few of the wilder outdoor adventures they've experienced along the way. The Sisters also share tips for buying and restoring vintage trailers because they know that once you see all the fun they're having fly-fishing, riding horses, camping, eating, laughing, and loving, you just might want to join their cowgirl caravan when it heads out for the next adventure.


Sisters on the Fly will inspire readers with charming and witty anecdotes from the Sisters as they experience the open road and some of the most beautiful places in the country. It is organized around fishing, food, friendship, love, and loss. And, of course, around beautiful vintage trailers that have been lovingly transformed from "trashed to treasured"».

Dés que la folie des «vintage caravan» vous tient… elle ne vous lâche plus. Et c'est ainsi que l'on se prend à comparer les "avant" et "après" transformation… Il y a de très nombreuses photos sur le Net. En voici quelques unes…


Et en plus, cette caravane a fait la couverture (photo ci-dessous) du premier numéro du magazine «Vintage Caravan Magazine»!
