Was it Breck's or Prell?

What to do if your trailer is stolen.






Spread The Word.

Remember that old shampoo commercial where she told two people and she told two people and so on and so on?

One often hears about vintage campers being stolen. Breaks my heart when I see people listing theirs as stolen, and it doesn't seem to matter whether the camper was in their driveway, at a campground, or in a public storage facility. So how do we help one another should tragedy occur?

Photograph your trailer: Every one is unique; either a custom paint job or interior modifications will help people identify your trailer.

Document your trailer: VIN numbers, License tag numbers, Model and manufacturer numbers etc. Anything that will help the authorities identify it as yours.

List your trailer: Craigslist is a good start. List it in many places. In the stolen goods section and list it in the trailers WANTED and trailers FOR SALE ( just remember to say that it isn't...)

Share your trailer info: Besides Craigslist there are social media groups and blogs that specialize in vintage trailers and campers. Tin Can Tourists, SCAMPers, FGRV and others just GOOGLE your brand of camper. Guaranteed there's at least one group of enthusiasts.  Don't forget to post it on your own Facebook page and ask your friends to share. Just like Breck's the word will get around. Or was that Prell?
