This trailer has a metal company logo of a rainbow trout by the door. Only two other Rainbow trailers are known to be on the road today! Manufactured by Edwards MFG. Co. in Sun Valley, CA (1954–1958), this 70-year-old gem was professionally restored in 2010 and has been lovingly maintained ever since. This trailer is a true head-turner and a rare piece of Americana. Whether you’re a fly fisher, a collector, a road tripper, or a vintage enthusiast, this Rainbow is ready to shine on the open road. We have traveled extensively across the Rockies, Southwest, and Pacific Coast. More photos are available of the interior and of the restoration process.
