| I’ve
always been fascinated by vintage travel trailers. I had been
eyeing the trailer since it first appeared in my issue of Hobby
Builders Supply catalog. When the contest was announced I knew
what I wanted to do. I knew the trailer had to have an aluminum skin and the inside it had to have real wood paneling. After mocking up a half dozen possible floor plans I decided on a two room layout. The front room; the largest, contains a mid area galley kitchen with a sofa sleeper across the front of the trailer. The rear room is a combination bed, bathroom. There is a shower, toilet and built in sink, along with a spacious bed. All the interior furnishings were built from scratch. As in a real trailer most everything is built in. All counter tops, sport a vintage boomerang pattern. And the fabric is a 50's vintage Mod-Slurpy pattern done in blues. Not having access to miniature shops; the nearest one being over four hours away, I must rely on the internet and miniature shows for the majority of my supplies. The owner and resident of my trailer is a retired widower named Mario. He was brought into my miniature world by the talented artisan, Pearl Jordan. |

| And after many months
of hard work. My Villa emerged. |

The trailer has a
well stocked gally.

Like most travelers
Mario collects bumper stickers
from the places he has visited. One of his goals was to travel the old Route 66. A goal he managed to complete last summer. |

Two families of
Gnomes lives with Mario.
One couple are out for their evening stroll. |

Boots
the cat has decided that the middle of Mario's bed
is the perfect place
for a cat nap.
The bath can be seen in the background. |
