"Gilkie Camp Trailer-- Your Vacation Home," circa 1932
01
Artifact Overview
The Gilkie trailer, according to this promotional brochure, freed travelers from their worries. Families could travel -- and stop -- wherever they pleased without fretting about the quality or availability of hotels. The trailer's compact folded design made for easy driving too. Its low profile reduced wind resistance and didn't block the rear window.
