Mobile homes a great way to achieve the American dream of owning your own home. These unique vintage motorhomes are becoming popular because they allow people to living a more simple life and travel around the country.
In a previous post, History of Mobile Homes, we spoke about the invention of mobile home design and innovation. Today, we are taking a look at unique vintage motor-driven mobile homes known as motorhomes or sometimes RVs.
The compact but still spacious designs can teach us about storage, organization, and how to live with less. There are several books about mobile homes or rolling homes as some call them. They have international fan clubs because they are so popular and yet, so rare.
I’m not talking about the sleek, modern RV’s that we see on the interstates. I am talking about purely homemade, unique and beautiful modes of transportation that can be traveled and lived in.

Crystal,
I recently acquired a 1959 Goodnight 12′ Mobile Home / Camper. I was hoping to see something about this company or a camper like mine in one of your layouts. If by chance you have any info regarding the unit or if someone has restored one, I’d be very interested to see what mine could look like.

Hi Paul,
I’m pretty sure I’ve heard of the name (it’s unusual) but I don’t think I’ve ever ran upon anything about them.
The problem with trying to find info on vintage mobile homes is the immense number of builders (1000+) over the years and they all offered several models. You may luck up and find an old advertisement or article in one of the many mobile home magazines of the day. You can buy the DVD’s of the magazines for around $10 at Vintage Trailer Supply and Ebay. You can also go to this site and find some info (he sells DVD’s too!): http://www.allmanufacturedhomes.com/html/vintage_mobile_homes.htm
Sorry I can’t be more help!
