It is historically significant for those who suffer from wanderlust, some fulfilled by owning and traveling with a \"silver palace,\" or perhaps owning an older model that's been rebuilt and refurbished.With a simple, historical beginning, the streamlined trailer got its start. There were challenges in making mobile spaces for living-could anyone make a self-contained streamlined trailer complete with full hookups? After World War II, housecars and motorhomes were seen everywhere-a result of aluminum becoming available for trailers. Once these silver palaces were on the road, RVs and travel associations became popular . . . and well, the end of the highway was never in sight.Doug Keister has photographed fourteen award-winning, critically acclaimed books. His credits with Gibbs Smith, Publisher, include Stories in Stone: A Field Guide to Cemetery Symbolism and Iconography and Classic Cottages: Simple, Romantic Homes as well as Fernando's Gift (El Regalo de Fernando), a Sierra Club Book for Children. Doug lives in Chico, California.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51885252870432,"sku":"NEW158685352X","price":18.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/718t0lkDfEL.jpg?v=1781891423","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/silver-palaces-158685352x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
