Thank you for sharing the Official 2nd gathering of TCT in Japan, with us TCT Members here in America.
It is us who should feel honored that this small and dedicated TCT Chapter in Japan loves the American Vintage Camping Culture.
Please include more pictures of your Vintage Campers next time. We would love to see the fruit of all your hard work and the Japanese influence that you have brought to your iconic American Campers.
I love this! I love their passion!! I love that they realize the importance of passing their love for their Airstreams and TCT to the next generation.
I love this! Keep going!
Dear Sandra Vail , Dear Dan Smilie.
Thank you so much for your words.
We love These Vintage Duralumin Trailers in spite of different country.
If you come to Japan , I can arrange the Camping by towing trailer.
But Japan is small country , so Trip is not long days and distance.
I guess , most interest thing is difference of culture or peoples ,
landscape , town or village.etc.
We are so small grope of TCT Japan,Thank you again for your words.

YES…What a delightful surprise seeing that a foreign country (Japan) has interests in a bit of U.S. culture as Vintage Camping Trailers! I would never have thought!!! Just this feeling of Vintage Trailer Kinship is so warming!
