Remembering Watt Orbie Mungall – A Vintage Trailer Enthusiast and Community Builder

Affectionately known as "Orbie," Watt Orbie Mungall, alongside his beloved wife Em, spent nearly two decades bringing people together through their shared love of restored trailers, road trips, and the timeless spirit of the open road. Their impact stretched far beyond Utah, reaching fellow travelers and vintage trailer fans across the West.

A Proud Tin Can Tourist and Rally Host

Orbie was a proud and active member of the Tin Can Tourists, a historic club founded in 1919 to promote the use and preservation of vintage trailers and motor coaches. The club stands for community, adventure, and craftsmanship—values Orbie truly lived by.

Whether he was hosting a rally, giving tours of his classic camper, or mentoring new owners just diving into the vintage trailer lifestyle, Orbie was a pillar of the community. His events were warm, inclusive, and full of the laughter and camaraderie that define the vintage camping lifestyle.

Vintage Trailer Rallies That Built a Community

Orbie helped organize and host numerous vintage trailer rallies throughout Utah and at the iconic Terry Bison Ranch in Wyoming. These weren't just showcases of beautiful campers—they were celebrations of connection, storytelling, and the joy of life on the road.

His efforts inspired a growing community of vintage RV lovers who continue to gather, restore, and roll on—thanks in large part to the foundation he helped build.
