The long long trailer

What great life it must have been to RV in the 50's .

Those were not RV's then. It was a house! The trailers of that vintage finally grew into the mobile homes of the 1960's and 70's. As those 8 foot wide trailers got wider and bigger, the country became more mobile and wealthy, creating a market for what we call today "recreational vehicles." However, that 1950's New Moon trailer was not a recreational vehicle used for camping and week ends. It actually grew out of the severe housing shortage from World War II. Now you have a little history lesson.
