Artistic flair
Adrian Manton and his wife Robin have discovered the joy of vintage RV renovations. Their current project is a Boler that they are upgrading and giving a new edge, but it is not their first endeavour of this kind.
Restoring the Open Road
Ontario resident Tom Speakman loves vintage stuff and over the years he's revitalized a number of old cars, trucks, RVs, trains, motorcycles and even a 100-year-old bed and dresser set. Right now, Speakman is working on a 1970 Dodge Open Road motorhome and he was eager to share details of the project with RVwest.
English Micro Caravans
Thanks again to Rick Meyer, we are passing along a couple more cool vintage RV photos and notes. Check out those impeccably restored English Micro Caravans and find out about the 6th Annual Vintage Vacation Rally in California.
The tale of two Trilliums
The Novakovskis of Saskatoon, SK, love fibreglass trailers like Bolers and Trilliums. They have rejuvenated one Trillium trailer and are now working on the restoration of their second Trillium.
Eriba Puck
Constructed in Germany, the “Puck” is a lightweight moulded plastic trailer noted for its solid tubular steel construction. This particular trailer was imported into California in 1969 and somehow made its way up to Western Canada.
