Ultramodern Bowlus Road Chief Trailer Tour (1930's Design)
Our quest to find unusual campers and mobile tiny houses continues when we met Cybill and Nils at the 2018 RTR, who have acquired this highly unique trailer that is based on classic designs from the 1930's, but with all modern amenities. We're thrilled that they invited us to take a tour and tell us all about their soon-to-be full-time home on wheels. More information about their adventures: theDistanceCalling.com
