Just returned from the Tin Can Tourist open house. What a fantastic group of people and rigs! Almost all were open and the owners welcomed you to enter and look around inside. I could not believe some of the workmanship and effort that was put into these units. Here are a few of the many pictures that I took. Hope you enjoy them. Sorry but I was not able to take notes on what all the names of the units are.
I think my favorite was this Spartan. My wife and I lived in one just about like it when we first got married over 50 years ago.
There were many small Airstreams. This one is typical. Beautiful!!!
Notice the sign hanging on the awning support of this over 20 year old Airstream!
Here is a very unusual 5th wheel. The truck is an International but I don't remember the make of the trailer. The truck was made especially to tow this trailer.
 
Perhaps the most impecable rig I have ever seen. The woodwork in this "HouseCar" was like glass all over - including the ceiling and the exterior!
If gas prices continue the way they are, could this be the wave of the future?
One of the more unusual rigs.
There were quite a few restored motorhomes also. Here is an especially nice one.
Finally, a beautiful homemade teardrop.
I took many many more but I think this is a good representative sample of what was there. Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Sorry we missed you. We had to stop by before the official open house. Did get lots of pictures. Some of the same ones you have. Even though we were early, participants still welcomed us to view their RV's and spend time discussing their Tin Cans. Will get the pictures posted by morning.
