Cricket Trailer: "The covered wagon for the new frontier"
The Cricket Trailer is what happens when NASA engineering meets camping trailers. This funky shaped trailer is designed to be towed by all kinds of vehicles and offer you exactly what you need without the excess you don't. Garrett Finney has had a fascination with small, outdoor-connected living spaces since his childhood in the 1970s.
Living Van Vintage

A few photos here, from our July workshop in Massachusetts where Tristan Chambers and Libby Reinish from Whittleddown.com , who handbuilt this cool, strap/hoop-top caravan, served as guests/demonstrators for our twenty-two attendees. The two reside in Northhampton, and made the trek from Vermont (where the cabin had been residing) to come and spend two nights out on our property.

Snowbirds in Florida
One of our readers, Royal sent this to me the other day and I wanted to share this unique home with you. On Monday 11/02/2009 Royal saw this trailer in the parking lot of WalMart in Mariana, Florida. This little home is certainly distinctive! Due to the signs on the back of the trailer (Neenah, WI – Tampa, FL) and the owner saying they had come to Florida for the winter…I assume they are snowbirds. The owner said the following may be hard to believe, but the left rear corner of the trailer was run into by a car driver … IN BROAD DAYLIGHT!
Durable, Lightweight Travel Trailers Scamp trailers are built to order, lightweight and aerodynamic in design. We’ve been building small travel trailers since 1972 and many are still being enjoyed today. The lightweight, hard shell fiberglass travel trailer design is very durable and easy to tow and maneuver.
Scamp Travel Trailers
Like many camper trailer owners we started out tenting. After a number of successive wet camping trips late in 2007 our 10 year old tent was showing its age and I figured there must be a better way to stay dry but still retain the camping atmosphere. Friends of ours had a camper trailer and after checking out their setup I concluded this was the way to go. As the subtitle says this was to be a budget build - sourcing well priced materials, utilising what hardware I already had, and doing as much of the work as possible myself.
