Episode 14: Meet David Winick

TheVAP talks with David Winick of VintageTrailering.com.

David was chosen by Airstream to design their 75th Limited Edition Custom Bambi trailer. We find out how he got started in vintage trailering and how he got the attention of both television and Airstream.

"…we have commissioned the creation of a Limited Edition 75 th Anniversary Trailer. This 19’ beauty is the brainchild of David Winick, a designer and trailer restorer whose stunning work on his own 1968 Caravel made it clear that he was the man for the job. Only 75 of these numbered units will be produced, so act quickly." –Bob Wheeler, President & CEO Airstream, Inc.

Great place to visit.

Hearst Castle in San Simeon is a great place to visit. Also near the ocean so you can get some time on the beach.

Camp sites may be a bit far from there because it’s right on the coast. Totally worth the drive.

Have you ever been?

Hello. Would be ok to take off the belly and make repairs and upgrades I want and later replace the axels? 1966 Tradewind.
Thank you,
Jerry
