A Brief History

We found this trailer in need of love outside Bakersfield, CA. Once we got it home, we spent countless hours hand laying each penny to create the penny countertop in the galley. The jalousie windows are a classic midcentury element of this trailer, so open them up and let the summer ocean breeze flow through the room. Built in Ventura.

Husband and wife team Don and Jeanette Boles began building trailers in 1946 inside their garage in Burbank, CA. Don perfected his aluminum working skills in the aircraft industry at Lockheed Aircraft Co. Boles Aero remained under their ownership for 35 years!, finally closing in late 1980. When searching for vintage trailers we do not shy away from the Boles Aero name; the strength of the body and chassis are never a question and the shapes allow for a great, open feeling interior.
