My thoughts, too, however, maybe we should all get in touch more with our feminine side. You know; become more tolerant...

By the looks of the crazy wheel under the A frame it was designed to carry some of the weight???

I thought Lucy's trailer was a New Moon?

Why?! My feminine side is looking for sunglasses and swearing off purple.

This trailer looks waay cooler on the outside than inside. On the other hand... my taste may be suspect - after all, I think Argosies are cool.


Would you go here on a date......?

Is that a FEMA trailer they sent to New Orleans, redecorated for the red light district, to boost tourism?

Looks like a thirteen year old girl's clubhouse to me! I'm sure "Hello Kitty" is hiding in there somewhere...or maybe it's Paris Hilton's new digs...

If I were the incoming President, well those would be my mandated colors... That wheel on the front is just like the one Dezi had to purchase extra in the Long, Long Trailer. That is a way cool trailer, bet it gets a pretty penny.

Hey Janet, Argosys are cool. This thing could be very cool if someone with taste would get it and restore it to sanity. Too much....way too much! Probably aren't any purple accents left in the outside world after this thing was done.

Just think of all the original beautiful wood that is under all that ugly paint. Really cool trailer, though.

I just realized that the slimp wheel is used while towing to take weight off the hitch and the bumper of the car.

The interior reminds me of a line from Burt Reynolds in one of his comedy movies after he tried to commit suicide by taking a whole bottle of pills and washing them down with what turned out to be sour milk, "It looks like Walt Disney threw up" in there.
