 Car & camping trailer, 1933, Glacier National Park |
"In Europe, the origins of travel trailers and caravanning can be traced back to traveling
Gypsies and showmen who spent most of their lives in horse drawn trailers.
The world's first leisure trailer was built by the Bristol Carriage Company in 1880 for Dr. W. Gordon-Stables. It was an 18 ft. design, based upon their Bible Wagons, which the Doctor named "Wanderer". Modern travel trailers come in a range of sizes, from tiny two-berth trailers with no toilet and only basic kitchen facilities, to large, twin-axle, six-berth types. |
 American Classics: Old School - Classic Travel Trailers

In the United States and Canada, the history of travel trailers can be traced back to the early 1920s,
when those who enjoyed their use were often referred to as Tin Can Tourists.
As time progressed, trailers became more livable and earned a new name in the 1930s and 1940s which was the House Trailer.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the industry seemed to split,
creating the two types that we see today, that of the recreational vehicle (RV) industry and mobile home industry. Today travel trailers
are classified as a type of RV along with motorhomes, fifth wheel trailers, pop-up trailers, and truck campers."
