I first saw “Constance” over at Babble, and as soon as I did I began daydreaming about a honky-tonk summer spent travelling in this vintage beauty.
Alas, as she’s an old broad and isn’t able to travel these days, but she does provide great inspiration for 50s-era design. I adore the classic mint green, white and red color combination. And those floral and gingham prints? Sublime.

Oh…how I want one of these!
Constance…what a vintage beauty! Although, I can't imagine myself on the road with her, unless I turned her into a food truck and served something delicious like Korean tacos. : )
Sign me up, Hilary!
I love this, too, and wish I could have it in my yard for guests. I saw a smaller western vintage one in Ennis, Montana last summer I wanted so badly but did not have the $4000 asking price.
There is a small R-V park in Bisbee, AZ. with the old vintage trailers you can rent for a night or more. Bisbee is an old mining town from the 1800's, in a canyon with houses built up the sides of the canyon walls. An old historic hotel, and the mine closed now, but you can tour it on the mining train that goes into the mine tunnel. Lovely
What an excellent idea, Martha Jo! Surely your guests would be thrilled.
She's pure sugar . . . . . .I'd love to have Constance parked on my property. What a wonderful retro getaway.
my grandparents had a camper very similar to this one. They purchased a farm and wanted to live on site while the house was being built so they hooked this baby up. They had 8 grandchildren and 1 or 2 at a time could stay the night and we had ablast with our grandparents.This brought back some wonderful memories thank you so very much I would love to have that time back again.
Love it, wonderful color scheme.
Where can I get one? I not only would use it for camping, but I could afford to have family come over and stay. I can't have anyone come and visit as I have no place to put them. Anyway I can get one Free! No, I won't hold my breath. This takes me back to "I Love Lucy"! They had a trailer and the series was awesome. Too bad we didn't know then what we know now! I'll just wish and Dream.
Ya'll keep an eye out! I'm working on mine and it's going to be fabulous! See pics on Facebook that I just posted of the "before" of my little "Tin Can Bungalow" my hubby bought me. He's the tool guy and I'm the decorator….can't wait to see it finished! (Carol Cline Sherwood on Facebook). Here we go……
