Tin Can Tourists Trailer Classifications

1972 Winnebago Chieftain

The Tin Can Tourists has adopted classification definitions created by Tim Heintz and used by other trailer clubs. The club will use this terminology if a rally/event has certain age requirements. This happens at some events that we are invited to as a special interest display. We may also using this as categories in rally awards, but the club is beginning to phase out judged awards.

 

ANTIQUE

Trailers/House Cars built prior to the end of the WWII Era (1945 and earlier) are to be considered “ANTIQUE”

Trailers/Motor-homes that do not fit the two previous categories but are still 20 years or older are to be classified as “CLASSIC”

  1. Looking at 76 Shasta, it needs gutted. Worried about the cost. Any ideas on cost?

  2. We have a page about how to value a trailer. Look under Trailers on the menu. A gutted trailer is worth very much. They took out all the good stuff! Be careful transporting it. Cabinets add a lot of structure.
