Triple E Surfside

Flashback to a couple summers ago (how time flies) and we’re out cruising backroads of British Columbia. While exploring one of our homebases for the trip, in this case Revelstoke, we came to a realization. It turns out this mountain community is a real hotspot for little fibreglass trailers. Remember, it’s our obsession. Included in the parade of Bolers (the most common type), it’s something different, the Triple E Surfside (SurfºSide) seen here.

These are a comparatively a rare model and produced in Manitoba starting in the mid-1970s (roughly) and ending maybe five or six years later. Records are sketchy. We’ve seen ten or twenty at the most since we started actively documenting tiny trailers, so that tells you something.

The mountains around here are spectacular – and here you thought of us mostly as flatlanders – but the cherry on the sundae is little discoveries like this. This was a random find, by the way, and these are the best kind. It’s summer 2021 and BC is awesome!

Boler: A small, cute-as-a-bug fibreglass camping trailer made in Canada in the 1960s to 1980s period and we make a fun game spotting them on road trips or adventures. We’ll also include similar trailers from other manufacturers that are close in appearance, construction or configuration to Bolers.

Out in BC and this Triple E Surfside another random find.
