    Our first home was a version of one of these. Appliances were pink with sliding doors between rooms. Life was so simple and precious. Our first child lived in this home with us for 2 years . Loved every minute .

    I love this little place. It was only a year-old when I was born. I remember those radios and when the tv looked like that. The Formica table and chairs, tv, the doll all work to give the trailer vintage charm. 😊

    There was one identical to this in a very tiny trailer park (9 units tops) in the next town over from me..always wondered what the interior was like.. i thought it was really cool and had character. The park had it pulled out and a new unit (also very small) put in its place.. new unit is nice but doesn't have the same character as the one it replaced.. thank you for sharing

    My grandmother lived in a 2 bedroom version of this trailer for 30 years.
    Her's had built in dressers, and nightstands in the bedrooms.

      My grandparents also had the 2 bedroom version -- they used it as a lakehouse. I well remember the built-in dresser/dressing table in the smaller bedroom, the sliding pocket doors that separated the bedrooms from the bathroom, the outward-opening windows that were opened by a crank, and the round window in the back door (I always thought it looked like a ship's porthole). It was always a special treat to "go to the lake with Mama and Papa." I enjoyed the trailer as much as the lake itself. Fond memories.

      Those that were kept up lasted as long as a normal home, as most were built fairly solid back then... I think that the window leaks caused most of the damage to them, as they needed a solid window awning build around the windows that prevented water from getting near the window seals. The windows were usually the main leakage spot, causing the rot.
      I would love to see all the new mobile homes be covered with a ceramic tin roof, and siding, with ceramic tin window awnings... Build to last.

    1955 was a great year, the year I was born! Time to get my eyes rechecked, though. 👓 I thought I saw a child peering through the front door window before you opened it and kept waiting for you to introduce this little person sometime during the tour, but they were quite evasive!
    Turns out it was just the glare off the glass 🤦‍♀️ 😂

    That's adorable. When I was a little more than a baby, my parents lived in a trailer similar to this one on my aunt's property. And you showed the counter, I had this flashback of me climbing up on the counter with a bowl of Raisin Bran spilling it everywhere. I might have been 2 years old.

    I have what I believe to be this exact trailer except much older. The inside and floor plane are nearly identical. The size appears to be the same. The main difference is that mine has real redwood siding on it and a comp shingle roof. It's in original condition with the stove being the only piece missing. All original windows and doors. I'm so glad to have found this video as I had no idea of the make and model of mine. I got it from a fellow who'd bought a large piece of property that included this trailer under a canopy built to protect it. He was going to demolish it. I'll check out your other vids.

      I’d love to live in it actually. I rented one a bit newer than this but not by much. It had two bedrooms with sliding doors so you walked down the small hallway and walked thru the first bedroom then back to the hallway in between the bedrooms was the bathroom which I thought was just the right size for my little family, to the back bedroom. It was sweet really although I didn’t appreciate it much during that time getting a divorce while I had discovered I was pregnant and taking care of my 3yr old daughter. But I look back at it now and it was my savior. Warm and cozy too. Utilities were included if I remember correctly.

    As a new wife married to a Naval Airman in 1964, we could find nothing for rent we could afford. We rented a 1950s trailer near the base. I remember it was a something "Star." It was almost identical to this one only smaller. It had less counter space and only a shower in the bathroom. The bed was.full size, with a bookcase headboard and all together the bed took up the entire width of the bedroom. It had a kerosene heater and a sliding door between the bedroom and the rest of the trailer. The door and screen door and the stove, refrigerator, and small couch were almost identical. The eating table was wooden and drop-leaf, with one leaf doubling as an ironing board and a silverware drawer. Only two wooden chairs. The entire trailer was birch. I believe the trailer we.rented was.the same brand but probably older.

    When I first got married, my husband and I lived for five years, in a similar version of this trailer, but with two bedrooms. Yes, that bathroom is small but it was enough to get the job done! We used to always joke about the small sink and the toilet being so close to each other... "You can brush your teeth and go to the bathroom at the same time!"😅🤣😂

    Old trailers in good condition are beautiful. About 25 years ago I moved to Florida and I purchased my land which also had a 1956 Buddy trailer on it. Similar to this but it has a much roomier bathroom. Back in the 90's most people were taking their old beautiful trailers out and replacing them with new ones. What a mistake because they almost need replacing again while I just did minor refurbishing with polyurethane and new flooring to make mine new again. It is like living in a time capsule for the last 25 years. My trailer and it's own land, "no lot rentals or park fees" cost me $6800 in early mid 90's but I am guessing it's worth 3 or 4 times that today.
