The long long trailer

[rickeoni]

I no it's not a TC, but we just watched the Long long trailer with Lucy . What great life it must have been to RV in the 50's .

It's just a movie! King Kong didn't really climb the Empire State Building either!

There is no way that Merc hauled that trailer unless it was gutted

This movie and RV with Robin Williams are on the USB and come with us every trip.... they are our rainy day movies.

My DS (age 7) has been watching them for 2 years now. He loves each one - for different reasons. Lucy/Desi - the rocks and the rain, the backing up, the brakes, the traffic, pretty much the entire movie! Robin Williams - the dump station scene 🙂

Except he also wanted to watch I Love Lucy and now he runs around saying, "Luuuuuuucy, you have some splainin' to do!" when ever something I do doesn't work out like it should and results in a huge mess. He thinks he's quite funny (in his own mind).

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.

I watched it last night. We didn't have a trailer when I was a kid, but mom would set up a cot in the back seat of the Desoto.

It is a great movie!! Should be required for all RV.net members!!!

Not familiar with it, but this must be it...

I just saw this too at the Alexandria, VA Old Town Theater. Hilarious movie, and it was really fun watching it in an old time restored theater.

I first saw it in 1959 and knew right away it would make a training film for new RVers.

[WoodGlue]

Yep I love that movie!

Especially the rocks she collects!

I have the DVD but have never watched it...it's a rainy day plan...

[Teacher_s_Pet]

Yep, a very good "RVing" film, we would never try to haul something like that today..the "weight/brake" police would be all over us.

[rvten]

I have the DVD.
