Vintage 1948 Palace Royale trailer is ready for restoration

Classic trailer enthusiasts can sink their teeth into this 1948 Palace Royale, which is ready for a top-to-toe renovation and some serious TLC.

The vintage caravan features a curved aluminium panelled ‘trolley top’ roof that will need replacing. Wood-panelled interiors will also need fixing and repairing, but the trailer is priced to reflect this at $3,000 via Oregon-based restoration specialists Flyte Camp.

The Palace Royal is known for its curved silhouette and port-hole window front door,  which sadly is missing on this model of the mobile home. But blog Mobile Home Living featured a restored 1949 model a few years ago in mint green which should provide some inspiration for would-be buyers.
