There are lots of RVs, made by many manufacturers, modified in many ways. We are familiar with them from our 30 or so years of staying in RV parks and state park campgrounds. But once in a while, we see something new.
This small trailer is cute. In the past we have seen RV gatherings of units that have been restored and decorated by women with a taste for something out of the ordinary. I wonder if this unit has such an owner.
The name on the front of this trailer says "Terry Classic" but we have never seen something like this before so I wonder if it has been modified.
You just know this was once a bus in the city. It might have been one on 16th Street Mall in downtown Denver. Those free shuttles run up and down the pedestrian mall every few minutes. It's pretty long but it would take a lot of work to make it into something comfortable to live in. It did come with a bike rack on the front. Very convenient.
We've seen this bus conversion in both Chatfield State Park and Cherry Creek State Park. We know that either they didn't make reservations until late or didn't make them at all because every 2 days they are parked in a different site. Sometimes even a full park has a few sites available for a couple of days--if you are willing to wait in the registration office each time to see who has cancelled their reservation. This bus has electric but no water or sewer connection. There is always a large bucket by the water hookup so they can fill a container whenever they need it. I guess this is boondocking with electricity.
We had never seen a van that looked like this one. We don't know if it is homemade or some new manufacturer.
This teardrop looks like it is homemade. The black top is strung on like a well-secured tarp. It is really small.
Not all unusual sightings are RVs. This Jeep is owned either by a talented woman or a man with a girlfriend/wife who likes to crochet.

Thursday we saw this classic car

pulling this small trailer into the campground at Levi Jackson State Park in London, Kentucky.

A couple of hours later, we saw this car

pulling this trailer.

We couldn't ignore what we saw. So we walked the campground until we found them. We learned that the cars are restored antiques, but the trailers are new, built by their owners.
There was another trailer that didn't have an antique car in evidence as a tow vehicle.

We were told there would be more of the same today. Unfortunately, we left the campground before 9 this morning, so we didn't see them. One of the women gave us a small wooden coin-shaped object with the outline of a tear-drop trailer on one side and the words "lil tin purse" on the other. I would guess tear-drop trailers, at least those made of metal, are called lil tin purses. Googling the term, I found a web site that sells items with the teardrop logo and a Facebook page for Lil Tin Purse.
