BowlusTrailers
The first riveted aluminum travel trailer
Email - john@openthinkinc.com
Bowlus trailers were the first all aluminum travel trailer and were designed by Hawley Bowlus.
Bowlus trailers are made of riveted aluminum panels attached to welded steel tubing, similar to aircraft construction methods of the 1930's, and so are extremely lightweight.

Bowlus Trailers - The Origin of the Species
I have finally published the Bowlus book, titled, Bowlus Trailers - The Origin of the Species.
Click here to be taken to blurb.com to buy a copy.
The book is an expanded version of the articles I wrote for Airstream Life magazine. I had lots of pictures that could not be included in the articles so I published a book and included all the historic photographs that I had sourced.
