Tucson’s Motel On Wheels
This is a triple scoop, ice cream Sunday of cool. Your very own motor lodge on wheels, parked to your delight, and dripping with vintage retro hipness. Glampers need apply! Yes, your next getaway could be on a set of some of the coolest wheels in the west; aqua paint, orange interior, mid-century furnishings abound.
Cool creators, Danny and Mary Ann offer you this experience; to stay in one of two restored vintage 1966 Travco motorhomes, a whole bumper to bumper vintage RV experience. Choose between their backyard retreat in the historic Tucson Barrio or find your room on wheels waiting for you at a local campsite of you choice. They suggest the near by Sagurao National Monument State Park and we’d have to agree, it’s a great spot. Check them out at VintageVacations.net
Our friend Capri, owner of the infamous 64′ Travco named Myrtle, found this quaint lil’ spot in the Arizona desert and shared it with all of us. Thanks, Capri. Now, who’s booking a Brinkmobile this weekend?

Book: The Art Of Roaming Cooking
Creating meals while traveling shouldn’t be a task. As a mater of fact, making meals for our hosts along the road has been one of the highlights of our travels. Cooking in my small nomadic kitchen, being a part of community meals, and sharing meals in our host’s home all have been highlights of our traveling experience. We connect over food and learn about the culture while shopping in local grocery stores.
I was lucky enough to get a complementary copy of Jacqui’s cookbook, and can tell you that it’s a great beginners guide, packed with quick, easy, nutritious, and inexpensive recipes for travelers. I love the simple one pot (or pan) dishes like; Toad In A Hole, Greek Lemon Chicken Soup, and No Bake Cocoa Biscuits (a cookie!).
This little cookbook is handier then a pocket on a shirt! You’ll find a variety of quick pasta combinations, learn how to cook a steak, and a simple way to make rice. Plus, the book includes a suggested list of ingredients to carry, and a metrics conversion chart.
The Art Of Roaming Cooking, from author, Jacqui

Champagne Tastes On A Camping Budget.
Straight out of the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, this caravan is what caviar dreams are made of. Feast your eyes on this luxurious, royal blue, classic automobile; a 1940′s era Cadillac Sixteen Limousine. But that’s not all. In tow is a true American beauty; a well polished, early 1950′s model Royal Mansion travel trailer. Yes, it would be appropriate to whistle… or take a photo like Jim did.
Thank you Jim… and may all of your champagne wishes and caviar dreams catch up to you on the road.

“Friends of a Feather” A Vintage Starcraft Caught Towing One Of Its Own.
What a sight to see, this 70′s era Starcraft motorhome towing another vintage Starcraft down an Alabama highway. Gotta love their style! The Starcraft trailer company is still around today, they’ve actually been making campers since the early 1960′s and these two are clearly keeping the good vibes rollin’.
Captured on the fly and submitted by fellow Motornomadics and full time RVers, Jim and Rene. For more fun RVing photos, videos and location independent lifestyle tips, check them out at LiveWorkDream.com
We got a kick out of this retro road test video taken aboard one of these 1970′s Starcraft coaches in their original hay day. Peep it.
