A micro fifth-wheel and a VW Beetle from 1974:
Pretty neat, but I’d wager you’ll not see anything like that these days.

Crafty RV Makeup Caddy
Before we took our last long vacation, Daisy wanted a way to keep all of her makeup in one place in the trailer without having to fish around in makeup bags or take up counter space:
On the back of each container, a magnet, hot-glued in place. One floating magnet for the tweezers, then two magnet hooks to hold the pencils and applicators in the green basket.
The whole thing held to the wall with four small 3M picture-hanging Command Strips (here).
With all the road vibration in our little trailer, the only problem we had during our two week trip is that the cap for one of the eyeshadow products popped off.
More Glamping?
Because we’re so inundated with house projects — as in, trying to get some things presentable so it can go on the market — we’re not able to take many weekend trips. But, that certainly doesn’t stop me from appreciating other peoples’ camping trips or methods.
For example, these awesome tents just came up in my news feed from the Tiny House Blog:
Excellent!
1964 Shasta Astroflyte Restoration
On the heels of the previous Glamping post, there’s this, that I’ve only just discovered, from a few years ago: Pete’s restoration of his 1964 Shasta Astroflyte.
1964 Shasta Astroflyte restoration at Disney’s Fort Wilderness resort. Yes, I wish I was there.
Ways to Camp – Glamping
Moab Under Canvas: certainly very nice tents — and I do like a good canvas tent — but their suites are far more than I’d be comfortable paying per night. Story & video here.
I think one of those tents up at elk camp would be incredible.
Then there’s the 2015 re-issue of the 1961 Shasta Airflyte trailer, going for $18K or so. Wonderful little trailers and I’d like to see a final production model.
Way too small for us, obviously, and even smaller than the little hybrid we pull today, but still wonderful little trailers.
Video walkthrough with the Shasta President below:
No word on how much a suitably-equipped 1960 Caddy convertible would cost to pull it with.
