Typically, David Holmes was busy with the production of mail-order fruit baskets. But during a period of downtime, he embarked on a new, more exciting endeavor. According to Old Trailer, it was 1959 when Holmes came up with the idea to make travel trailers. His line of trailers, described as having a "daring" design, shortly went into production in Medford, Oregon.
Production on the "Holiday Houses" didn't last long. It came to a halt in 1962 and from that point on, no more Holiday Houses were made. Holmes reportedly started a new line of trailers a few years later which were targeted towards a richer clientele. Today, it's quite rare to come across a Holiday House, as less than 200 were made. Get a glimpse at one of these beauties below.
