The 1950s were a time where Americans were living large, both figuratively and literally. It was a time where expectations and limits were pushed, and things were huge and massive.
One great example of this is a 1953 Vagabond camper. Recently, the Facebook page Vintage Camper Trailers posted about the camper, and it went viral.
The Facebook page listed the 1953 Vagabond camper for sale, but many people were stunned by the camper’s interior. You can buy it for $75,000 if you wish.
This trailer is what is called a park model that was designed with all the amenities of a small home to be moved as needed to follow better weather or better jobs.”
The exterior doesn’t do this camper justice. It may look like an 8,000 pound tank from the outside, the inside is truly stunning. It’s a blast from the past!
Most of the interior is in the exact condition it was back in 1953.
The trailer needed paint and new tires and that was about it, none of the birch panels have been replaced. Even the curtains appear original, as are all appliances, light fixtures and well just about everything else. The upholstery and floor covering have been replaced.
The appliances are vintage and retro. As many of us know, these appliances were built for life. They were extremely durable and almost never broke down!
Take a look at this kitchen. It’s huge, especially when you consider it’s the kitchen in a mobile home…
Can you imagine sleeping in this spacious bedroom? This camper comes equipped with two full-sized twin beds. In modern day campers, you can never find this!
On a sunny afternoon, relax in this cozy sitting area and enjoy a book.
You would expect the bathroom to be small in a camper, but this 1953 Vagabond camper is built to defy expectations. There’s a fully-functional shower and toilet. You have everything you need!
If you had a long time, take a nice bubble bath in this luxurious bathtub. The seafoam tiling adds a nice retro touch.
Take this camper all around the country with you. There’s no need to get cramped in a modern camper when a spacious alternative exists.
This massive camper provides the comfort you can find in a traditional home.
