The Blueberry Hill Classics Blog

It’s always nice to learn about a camper’s story when it comes into our possession, but since these older trailers have often had multiple owners, we don’t always get to hear about the lives these trailers have lived before we find them. Even then though, they start a new story with us.

The Aitkin Independent Age featured the McGillis family and Blueberry Hill Classics in their annual Progress edition of the local newspaper. Check out our story here!

In this article we look at items that apply to all campers: maintenance and towing considerations. Many people wonder whether it’s actually feasible to regularly camp with an older camper. But we know from the thousands of vintage trailer owners across the US that it is possible, you just need to be prepared.

In this second part of our series, we’ll discuss doing a restoration yourself or hiring out the job, who you might hire, whether you really need a vintage restoration specialist, and whether it’s possible to DIY. We start with the biggest question, “If it’s not already restored, should I restore it myself?”

In this article series we’ll talk about some of the benefits and considerations you might want to weigh as you start shopping for a camper. This first article discusses what’s great about vintage campers, evaluating the goals/purpose of your camper, and whether there are certain things that are critical for all vintage travel trailers.
