Featured in the March/April 2021 Issue of Vintage Camper Trailer Magazine!
While we enjoyed working with Henri & Stela Gelato Co. to create this amazing build, the new owners are the amazing people at Gelato Giberto! You can witness this beauty in person at their location on Frankfort Ave!
Vintage Base Camp was presented with the idea of creating a 15’ gelato vending trailer. For this build we dismantled a 28’ trailer in order to create the single axle 15’ trailer from the donor parts. The parts that remained original were the front and rear endcaps and most of the ribs. The finished trailer ended up coming out to 13’ long, tongue to bumper.
