This might be of interest for planning a spring/summer project.

It has a 'dressing room', and overhead water tank. Ah, but back then, people were somewhat shorter and definitely thinner.

Nice find.
Holy cow, Rose is a teenager now! Done? Surely you jest. A teardrop is never "done".

In 1932, this might likely have been what is now called a 'prepper' or 'bugout' trailer, when the economics of living were far worse than in the recent past ten years. - I'm reminded of the Grapes of Wrath.
