During our last visit to the shop, we asked the guys at C & G Trailers to install our solar system for us. But rather than buying a complete turn-key solar system, we did some shopping around and put together a basic system of our own.
If rarity is your thing, this 1946 Curtis Wright trailer should be right up your alley. Some had said that there are only 7 of these babies left in existence as this trailer was only made for one year by Curtis Wright Travel Trailers. I have not seen the other 6 but I am pretty sure it can’t look prettier than this one.
There are actually two trailers here on display that are not actually vintage in any way, shape or form. One of them is the prototype Sterling model Airstream brought with them and the other one is this custom built coach by Timeless Travel Trailers of Denver, Colorado.
There was nothing at the vintage trailer show more unique than the Decoliner by the master craftsman Randy Grubb.
If this vehicle doesn’t scream one-of-a-kind, then there is no such thing.
We spent both Thursday and Friday night away from the Airstream and were glad to be back in it on Saturday. We had settled in comfortably for a 5 nights before the detour and it felt strange to be sleeping in our beds those nights as visitors in our own home. We finally made it back to attend the Vintage Trailer Show that was the main reason for our trip.
We pumped ourselves full of Mexican breakfast food in the morning before heading to the show but not without a photo op of Mila with the restaurant’s mascot. I have no idea how to explain this one. It just felt right to post it.
The girls slept hard and woke up refreshed after our day at the Ace Hotel. We are expecting a few more days of warm weather here in the desert so we are going to take full advantage of it. That means we are going back to the Ace Hotel for more.
A year ago today, we were right here in Palm Springs for Modernism Week 2011. We decided to check out the Ace Hotel that we have been hearing so much about. In fact, Mila was so impressed by it, she wrote a post about it. Just because of that, we had to come back and pay it another visit this time around.
