Tin Can Tourists…Milford, MI 4.15.14 to 4.18.14

We had scheduled a trip to Milford MI to join the Tin Can Tourists for their spring meet…since it was raining on Wednesday afternoon we decided to call and see if our campsite was available a day early…it was.

I took a lot of these photos as people were setting up. It rained off and on all weekend so I took them when I could. It was amazing to see so many vintage trailers and tow vehicles together.

I have a lot of pictures so will keep the words to a minimum.

This is a U-Haul camper and the one with the flowers is a Scamp. The seams are opposite. U-Haul's run up and over and the Scamps run around the middle. This Scamp has no bathroom but a nice big window in the front.

Some campers are completely redone and others are still a work in progress. Some have been restored to original inside…others have been done to suit the owners.

The one on the right is a tent camper. The lady who owns it can put it up and even move it around with the hitch by herself it is so light…but very roomy inside.

I didn’t get to photograph all of the campers….nor see inside of them all. Maybe next time.

It was cold and rainy most of the weekend but nice on Saturday when they had open house for the public.

If you see a Tin Can Tourist event scheduled in your area you should go and look in all the different campers. Who knows….you may spot a treasure sitting in someone’s backyard someday.

We leave Sunday morning for NY.
