Petunia is my 1962 Vintage Kencraft travel trailer, I bought about 1 year ago. I am absolutely head over heals in love with this little gem and I have become obsessed with all things "Vintage". When I bought her, I had no idea that vintage trailers were all the rage at the moment and neither did the people I bought her from. I felt like I had won the lottery. I immediately embarked on a journey to find out any and all information about restoring them and now find myself in the exclusive club that is Vintage trailer owners. I can't wait to share with you my adventures in her and all the treasures I have found to decorate and bling her out and fix her up. I know she needs a paint job desperately (not to mention a few additional things) and I am working out exterior paint design and colors. The tan stripe is not original. I've scrapped some of the paint off and it appears that the original might have been yellow. Not sure if I will go back to that, or paint it pink.. I promised my husband that I wouldn't make her too "girly" but sadly..it's happening. I just can't help myself. So welcome to my blog. I am new to this whole blogging world, so please bear with me. I'm learning as I go. I welcome feedback and input for sure. I look forward to meeting you and making many new blogging, vintage trailer, friends. - Happy Glamping!

Sweet Pink Heaven I'm in Love!
I absolutely fell in love with this car the other day. I think I need it. Can't you just picture Petunia being pulled behind this baby? Best part about it...It's PINK!!!
Petunia is adorable. I would love to use a softer, more feminine decorating style in my little old trailer but my hubby is a camping fool and somehow I don't see him pulling off his dirty waders in my dainty trailer. I also find great sites by keeping up with "jane" and her awesome blog. Adding you to my "girls with trailers" list of fun places to visit.
Just found your blog. I love, love, love vintage campers and yours is so very sweet. I haave a 1963 Shasta. I too went through the thoughts ...paint it or leave it original. For now, I'm leaving it original. Great to find you!! Amy B
It’s not just an ordinary pink! It’s the kind of pink that my wife likes, hehe. I’m definitely showing this to her and tell her how I want to have one for us as well. She rarely find cars like this on the net… She’ll surely thank me for showing this to her. But I’m sure she’d like to buy one that’s truly in front of her – and that will happen soon… :D
The color of the tires complement with the body color. It must be nice to see this running in the highways. Whether it’s pink or not, that car will look elegant!
Nice work on putting together a very interesting post. Fabulous ideas and very helpful information. Well thought out and well written....Camper Trailers Brisbane
