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.

Membership in the Tin Can Tourists is open to all. We do not restrict membership by the classifications below. We have many new “retro” inspired trailers in the club and at our rallies. We are the most open and diverse vintage trailer club in world. Where other clubs restrict membership by brand, trailer age or the owners gender – the Tin Can Tourists is open to everyone that loves vintage trailers and motorhomes.
