Whow, I live in the heart of Amish country here in Ohio, and never heard of these before. NuCamps travel trailers are made right down the road from me in Sugarcreek, are also built by mostly Amish and they to are really well built. Looking forward to the outcome. Subscribed.
History (from tin can tourist) They were produced in the 50’s and early 60’s by Martin Metzendorf of West Farmington, Ohio, approximately 10 miles northwest of Warren, Ohio. Martin (my great-uncle) and his wife had the trailers built with Amish laborers, she picked out the interior patterns and colors. They delivered most of the trailers themselves until a delivery accident deprived my great-aunt of her arm. They sold the business in the early 60’s and the trailer was produced for a few more years under the Metzendorf name, I believe they closed the doors in ’63 but I’m not 100% on that. If their is a real interest out there I might be able to piece together some facts from my relatives, but admittedly they’re all a touch fuzzy on events from forty years ago. - Brin Metzendorf
Those are neat. I had a local guy contact me recently about one he was going to rebuild. I'd never seen one in person before, but i gotta say i like em!
Wow can’t wait to see how it turns out
