There’s a certain “je ne sais quoi” about the kind of person who owns a caravan, isn’t there? So you would expect the sales brochures for a caravan to be a little more … let’s say colourful than your average marketing material. In fact, they’re kind of a blast. I’ve spent just about my whole afternoon trawling through an online caravan museum– my new happy place. From the outrageously kitsch polyester prints to the over the top photo staging, I’m about ready to move the Messy Nessy HQ into a velvet-trimmed cherrywood camper and conquer the world! Some of these brochures go back as far as the 1930s, but I think my favourites all came from the 1970s. Enjoy…

And if you are in fact in the market for a caravan, here are 10 vintage trailers up for sale just in time for a summer road trip.
