These are some beautiful old trailers. Thanks for sharing them here. Here in the US we had some beautiful trailers back in the 50's and early 60's but I think none as beautiful as these. It is a shame what they are passing off as high end trailers these days.
Im a traveler from the u.s. there is a whole underground network of travelers, gypsies, old timey folks hitch hiking, hopping trains, caravanin' around the u.s. i love what you are all doing. your the root of what we are doing over here. i myself live out of a pack on my back and make a living on my banjo, and ill probably die traveling free. keep it up. you are an inspiration to us young people doing it here
ken many thanks for the trip down good old mememory lane. i my self was born in a bender tent some 57 years ago.we stoped traviling back end of the 80s. we still have our vickers morcombe which was one of 120 made. ken........thanks mate ....for photoes and a mesage for dubstep100..the gorga....get a life...AND HOPE TO MEET YOU ONE DAY... dave....
Wow!, This is really cool. My husband and I feed the homeless and I am always trying to find a way to shelter someone. I'm trying to talk my husband into remodeling old trailers to sell dirt cheap. So many are homeless, but many are travelers. I like the gypsy style look. Has lots of class. Very cool way of life......
melinda wrightson ,,,, fine ideas but don't confuse homeless people with travelers,or think it can work no offence many homeless are losers but travelers are NOT it's a way of life ,,
Thanks for sharing, those chrome decorated caravans are a real work of art i saw them in the 70s/80s now and then but not any more, were they verry expensive.
im not a traveller but love and respect their way of life except the ones that give travellers a bad name.i have a few traveller friends that i get on with well and they have shown me the way of their life which really touches the heart.the trailers are deffo something to drool over and ive even been involved with the restoration of a Vickers Lunedale and now own a buccaneer superstar which is currently being restored by me.keep up the good work trailerman 2 lets keep the traveller way of life alive for generations.ignore the trash who runs you down :o)
Wow what beautiful trailers. Amazing they are vastly different that the ones sold here in Canada. These trailers remind me of motor vehicles instead of caravans. Our RV's are full of slide-outs and really really diffeent. These are very beautiful though. Nice informative video..thanks.
Well, I think the videos are fantastic!! the homes are beautiful and one day, when my children leave home, my husband and I hope to travel, I just wish I did it years ago.... x
proper people loved seeing these pics brings back some good memorys im not a traveler but many of my pals are and there like brothers to me people judge when realy they know nowt probley never even met a traveler muppets
Cousin of mine had one back in the 90s I remember we had a storm it was a very bad storm as it was nearing summer so the lightning ⚡️ and the wind was on real I remember jumping in and out of caravans that were blowing like cardboard boxes when I got a break in the wind I saved two friends of mine from the light caravan that they were living in no messing about ten of them blew over I’m glad I got as der that night my cousin had one one of these we had no time for moving in to shelter I went out let the four weeks down on it and it didn’t stir it saved us big time we had to put up a few heads for the night the caravan saved us that night the storm hit her right on in the middle of a field with no shelter no she was a solid one never forget about that one ☝️
Thanks Dave. Glad you enjoyed seeing the ol' trailers, nice to hear you still have your Vickers!. Im down the country, hope we meet some day to say hello. Best of luck. Ken.
Very nice video. Yes, it is sad that many have a negative opinion of a gypsy or traveller without actually ever meeting one. As a boy I was friends with a travelling family who were forced into a house. Though that must have been like a prison to them they became the best neighbours we ever had, true, loyal and always there when help was needed.
I just found out that on my moms side of the family that her grandfather and his family were hungarian, circus traveling gypsys. Its awesome being a gypsy and gorger at the same time because they both are such great cultures. But now that im older (19) Im trying to live the life of a gypsy and live by my culture and their ways because I grew up in a gorger household with gorger ways but im not trying to do that anymore. I want to be more close with my culture and do it right.
They're some beautiful vans you've taken pics of....dont see many old girls like them on the road anymore....new vans just all look like soulless plastic boxes now
Xander Taylor ,,,, Then do as I do i live in a static on my own ground with my horses and have a small tourer for Appleby and other events ect, it's still cheaper than the gorge way ,,
IM A GYPSY & PROUD SO U CAN SAY WHAT THE FUCK U LIKE ABOUT GYPSIES BUT IM PROUD 2 BE 1 & IF U CANT STAND THEM THEN THATS YOUR OPINION & U DONT HAVE 2 BE NASTY ABOUT IT!!
I still own my grans trailer from years ago her wishes were never to burn it we ended up selling it so Simon dhoerty and few years ago we found it in a field and now it's in its final resting spot in my back garden
Thank you for the pictures. Just wondering why people display so much ignorance and hate towards Travelers? They are human and deserve to be treated with the same decency as anyone else.
thanks for the video, im not a traveller but often wonder wat it would be like? that chrome caravan is proper nice inside, good luck to all, and be happy, ignore people with dum comments and there igronace, sorry about the spelling. be free. best wishes nick
I remember Mickey Brian and Their father Raferty was Thier sure name pulled on the racecourse in Llanelli in the seventies with brand new westmorland star living trailer's what a flash
Those are some lovely old trailers. I admit up front: I don't know jack about Gypsies, Romani, Irish Travelers, any of that. Just found out this past weekend that the word "Gypsy" is actually applied to several completely different groups of people. So I have a lot to learn. To the haters who think it's somehow cool to come onto a video and insult strangers: grow the hell up! Nobody's impressed with you "bad boy" act. Annoyed, but not impressed.
So what would happen if the travelers were offered what we call in the states..."public housing" or government assisted housing. Would they go for it or is the roaming around part of the ingrained culture. It would seem that they could have a better standard of living if they just stayed in one place and lived off government assisted programs, housing and welfare checks.....thats what the poor do in the USA...they milk the system for every penny (and ten some)
beautiful caravans, kind of sad though how modern society is putting even more pressure on the travellers to conform as if they dident already have enough issues to deal with.
Many of the public don't realise the decendents of iresh travelers were driven from their crofts and homes by greedy land owner lords (many english) that's what started them traveling ,,
Bobby TheBDaWg ,,,, OK I live in a static on my own ground no shit house that is connected, where do you think a person goes ,, and I have a small tourer no shit house again ,which I go to places such as Appleby in ,, and the Porto loos that are there are brimming over by 10am ,, and by the way I use filtered rain to make my chi and to wash (yes we do wash),
There some cushty trailers there, we had a bucaneer superstar years ago I grow up in. Wood a transit tow a vickers or wetmorninstar or is that why they all beind tks and d series?
Im a peacable kind of man but I am gettin a bit sick of being abused on here by idiots with no brains in their heads. If you dont like travellers fuck off and look at something else.
by the way thx for the wee trip doon memory lane pity they old ways have gone we were a much better breed before the scaldis tried to turn us into replicas of them bring back the old dayz n the old wayz i say
@trailerman2 Good for you. Nobody has to look a video they don't like. Just go somewhere else and stop being so damn nasty. Some of those trailers were amazing, especially the interiors, thanks for posting.
@NHEFF09 nick......to get a tast of the travelling life.listen to this song' im a free born man of the traveling people....by liam clancy.............it tells.in my eyes what life was like in the' good oi day's' gone.........but never forgoten....... sastmo.........
@trailerman2 .....Sorry to you Trailerman but I know it will be clear for all to see who I am talking about and it certainly wasn't you.Good luck to you
@trailerman2 my parents went to buy a caravan to go on holiday with each year off some travellers an the said it was the most beutiful thing they had evr seen the only thing that deterd them was no toilet but they were still gutted they didnt buy it
Pleaase with respect trailerman I would like to no more of the history... Romany Gypsies originated from India and it is believed that they left there between 1000-1200 AD. Gypsies travelled from India through the Middle East to Egypt. The term Gypsy is believed to be a corruption of the word Egyptian. Gypsy Traveller culture evolved during their migration from Asia and across Europe. The arrival of Gypsies in Britain was first recorded in 1505 in Scotland and 1514 in England.
"PW JAMES. We are all human and should be treated that where!. theres good and bad in all walks of live. you should never judge any one as you well know. also they are part of the british commuinty. you should know your history before you talk about something you dont know anything about.... the beautiful thing about life is we all thing different and have different views, so let and let live.........After all tomorrow is a new day!!
All you stupid idiots making remarks about travellers have never been within ten feet of a real Romany Gypsy in your lives. If you had youd know better, so fuck off and make comments elsewhere about something you do actually know about........be a long search I reckon.
i agree, my view is live and let live, you are being racist, leave them alone, what right do you have to be so nasty too them? i thought the trailers were beautiful, by the way, i am a gorgia x
