1. 1970 “Gus” Trailer
The cutest Arizona-themed trailer you’ll find on the open road, this 1970s travel trailer received a whole new look. On the exterior, Gus sports cactus decals, a banner, twinkle lights, and propane tanks painted like barrel cacti. Stepping inside, the interior was brightened up from a dull, neutral color scheme, to colorful quarters bursting with personality. With a few coats of paint and quirky accessories, this tired trailer was brought to life.

3. The Nugget
A little camper trailer got a brand new look from head to toe in this vintage trailer makeover. Starting on the outside, the original exterior paint was entirely stripped and given a new coat full of red and pink diamonds with gold pinstripes. The old, rusty door was replaced with a new, mid-century door built from scratch. On the inside, light pastel tones bounce from the walls to the seat cushions for an overall cheerful vibe. In the kitchen and eating area, clever storage space was built in, along with handmade wood planter shelves, and custom cabinets paired with white ceramic penny tile that add a simple vintage charm to the trailer.
