For many years now it's been popular to stay in hotels that boast rooms full of antiques – I even owned one at one point! It's easy to see the attraction of staying in rooms full of beautiful things, four-poster beds and all the accoutrements of those halcyon days. However, I've just been told of a new phenomenon. A trailer park in Arizona houses a collection of 1950s vintage trailers that are available to stay in. There's a 1949 Airstream, one of those beautiful sleek silver machines, there's a 33 foot Royal Mansion built in 1951 with leopard carpet, martini glasses, Diner-style breakfast booth and phonograph with a collection of 78rpm records, or a 1947 Tiki Bus Polynesian Palace, complete with hand-carved outrigger bar and your own Tiki God.
They play 1950s music and show old movies on the TVs and help visitors recreate holidays when the world was a simpler place. You can find out more HERE
