Looking for a unique accommodation for your travels? Consider staying in a vintage trailer. This retro-chic type of stay isn’t just full of nostalgia, it’s also super sustainable, as these bohemian properties upcycle old RVs, Airstreams, and trailers instead of using new materials to build hotels. Here are some of our favorite vintage trailer resorts to stay in around the world.
