Ms Nortman can really hold your attention. She knows how to set up a situation with vivid and accurate descriptions to keep the pace and mystery real. What a joy to go along with her on the plot and journey. I'm already looking forward to her next creation!

Great story about time travel in an urban setting. It is more about a relationship between a mother and her teen-aged daughter than time travel. It is a real "feel good" story and quite interesting for a casual read.

I simply loved it! What a fun cozy camping murder mystery read! I love how she weaved in true to life aspects of renovating a vintage camper, and true to life aspects of a mother and daughter teen relationship. Such fun!

I enjoyed the story. It was well written and went back and forth between different time periods. The lady buys an old travel trailer which somehow takes her and her daughter back in time when they sleep in it. Their is a mystery to solve and some historical facts along the way.

The story started very nicely--I got into it immediately. However, down the line, it became weird for me. Things changing and disappearing--time wharp. That ended it for me and I stopped reading. I am not fond of stories that are not realistic. It would be my guess that a person who enjoys that kind of material would enjoy this book.

This story started fairly strong, so I'm disappointed that it ended so poorly.
As the blurb says, this is a time-travel story. It has an interesting premise: an old travel trailer that takes sleepers back in time. The tension -- what there is of it -- comes mostly from wondering whether it will return them to their own time again. The mystery -- again, what there is of it -- surrounds the old man who sold the trailer to the protagonist. Although it never had me on the edge of my seat, it did manage to keep me interested enough to read the whole thing. If it weren't for the ending I'd have given it three stars, but there were other weaknesses.
The book is partly the first-person narrative of the protagonist, but shifts to third person when the protagonist isn't around. It didn't bother me that much, but it was weird. The third-person narrator tries not to be too omniscient, but there's no way around the fact that the narrator keeps telling us what people are thinking. I don't think it was pulled off well. The editing is reasonable: I didn't see any glaring errors of spelling or punctuation. On the other hand the style is a bit stilted. Most sentences were either simple declaratives, or else compound sentences joined with "and." Some subordinate clauses would really have spiced it up stylistically. This really came to the fore in the dialog, which was often stilted. Props to the author, though: it was obvious that she was trying to write period-appropriate dialog for the '30s, '50s and '60s, and as far as I can tell (I'm no expert) succeeded.
OK, what about the ending? The ending ruined everything. It was too pat. It wasn't earned. It was out of the blue. And it violated the rules laid down by the rest of the book. It was on par with, "And then the villain suddenly died of a heart attack, and the prince and princess could get married after all. They lived happily ever after. The End." To say any more would be a spoiler.
To expand on "the rules," though: this is a time-travel book. Every time-travel book has to address the grandfather paradox somehow or other. This book actually tells the reader about the grandfather paradox (i.e., going back in time and killing your grandfather). It doesn't actually address it. But it does seem to establish, by the protagonist's experiences, that the time traveler can't interact with or replace their earlier self, or otherwise alter the timeline. If that's not true, then the book fails by not showing us that these things are possible. If it IS true, then the ending breaks the author's rules. For the ending to ring true, the book would need to demonstrate that time travelers can change history in some way. And it would have been a much more interesting story, too: as it is, nobody really learns much or grows at all. Since (small spoiler) this book ACTUALLY DOES feature a woman interacting with her mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, it was screaming out for that interaction to DO something. Change the (still living) mother in some way. SOMETHING. But no: right up until the ending, the protagonist and her daughter are nothing but sightseers in time with no lasting impact on anything.

I recently purchased my first travel trailer. In this book i saw some parallels with being a single woman and new to travel trailer life. I enjoyed the realism of the times that were represented. The author didn't romanticize or just show the good times.

"The Time Travel Trailer" provides a glimpse of life during several different time periods. The first thing I noticed was the realness of the writing. Life with the teen daughter, especially during the earlier part, is totally accurate. There is also plenty of humor with distinctive character voices. I especially enjoyed the mother's, Lynne's, slightly sarcastic voice.
Nortman's historical facts are weaved beautifully throughout the story and ground it in time - we get information about happenings, court cases, and events we've likely heard about before. The story is told through short, easily digestible chapters; you can pick it up, read a few chapters, quickly do what you have to do, and jump right back in without having to thumb through to see how many pages the next chapter has so you can decide if you have time to start reading. As I read, I was continuously curious about what Lynne and Dinah would find and in what year they would find themselves placed.
The story is told through Lynne's and Dinah's point of view (Lynne's in first person and Dinah's in third) in no-particular-order alternating chapters or chapter groups. After the first few chapters from Dinah's point of view, I wasn't sure of the purpose of the alternating viewpoints and wondered if it would add to the story. As the story unfolded, however, I learned how Dinah's unique perspective fit in and I can't think of a way the author could've handled it differently.
"The Time Travel Trailer," in addition to providing an interesting history lesson, develops into a double mystery - what happens along the way and what happened with the trailer's original owner. As mentioned above, during the first approximate one-third of the book, I wondered where the story was going, but then the suspense picked up, keeping me turning the pages and reading "just one more chapter" before putting it down for the night. Nortman doesn't disappoint in her mystery writing ability, either; the end provides a satisfying conclusion.
"The Time Travel Trailer" was a great read. It had good suspense that pulled me through the story. This book would be great for those who enjoy camping, time-travel stories, mysteries, or history. It's enjoyable on many levels.

Wow! What a great book! I love time travel movies like T2, Back to The Future, and Time Crimes just to name a few, and I was happily surprised with the story in Time Travel Trailer. This is the first time travel book I've ever read, in fact, it's only the second fiction book I've ever read. I've read plenty of non-fiction books, and I've even written three, but I'm not a fiction reader--although, I have listened to many on audio. Something drew me to this book and I found myself, for the very first time, immersed deeply in a fast-paced, fun tale that kept me turning the pages, or actually, clicking next, on my Kindle. The characters are well-developed and likable. I feel like I've met Dinah, Lynne, and the entire cast. I think this would be an excellent one-hour TV movie. Thank you, Karen Musser Nortman, for opening my mind to reading more fiction!

As a long-time fan of science fiction, and especially of stories about time travel, I was glad to find that Karen Nortman's newest book is right down my metaphorical alley. I'm familiar with the mystery stories she's published, and have enjoyed them, but let me say I hope The Time Travel Trailer is not her last excursion into this arena.
Her approach to time travel is unique. Instead of UFOs, time warps, or wormholes in spacetime as the means of voyaging into the past, Ms. Nortman chose an elderly camping trailer, found almost forgotten in the weeds and adopted by a woman looking for a way to keep her teenaged daughter engaged. Her choice is based on a real travel trailer, a 1937 vintage unit once loved by an elderly farmer whose camping days ended with his wife's demise. She buys it, hauls it home, and readies it for its first camping trip in decades.
I won't go into how the trailer and its occupants end up in a variety of past eras and how they return home. That's part of the enjoyment of reading this delightful tale. Suffice it to say that the means of travel, and the family's discovery of how to at least partially control that travel, are inventively handled by the author.
The descriptions are vivid and the dialog--among the heroine, her daughter, and her estranged husband, especially--is realistic. Ms. Nortman has polished her talent for dialog to the point where the scenes and the actions of the characters unroll like a well-scripted movie in the reader's head.
There are cliff-hanger moments and scary encounters scattered through the book to keep the reader wondering. If the book were to be made into an old-fashioned serial adventure movie, there are enough surprises to have a cliff-hanger at the end of each episode. Fortunately for the reader, you need only turn to the next chapter. That said, there's nothing melodramatic nor campy about them. They are events that could really happen to the characters, given the acceptance of the time travel notion in the first place, which dedicated Sci-Fi fans will have no trouble doing in this well-crafted tale.

** Review of Audio Format **
This was a fun listen. It took some time to get rolling and there was a lot of repeat scenario's along the way, but it sets the stage for an interesting series. Lynne figures out pretty quickly what the trailer does and what makes it work. Dinah accepts it fairly easily and has a teenager's sense of adventure about it. Lynne's husband has a harder time...until it's proven to him. I love that Lynne is a natural helper and also has enough curiosity to figure things out and understand just how to help the elderly friend who sold her the trailer.
The time periods selected were fascinating as well because they highlighted the times well. The cold war and fear of communism in the early 60's, the pride and fear of what the neighbors will think in the 30's. The approach that had to be taken to extract themselves from each period differed by the fears that motivated people at the time.
I enjoyed listening to Valerie Gilbert's narration. She performed both male and female voices well and kept the story moving seamlessly.

This is the second Karen Nortman book I read. The first was a Frannie Shoemaker and I really didn't think I would enjoy this as much. A time traveling trailer? But I enjoyed the first so much and we have an r.v. so I tried it. It was great! The concept was fabulous, she did great with the time travel. All the details about the different time periods were great! Without a spoiler the sign on the beach in the 50's hit me as I had cousins that had what it warned about! I loved wondering where they would end up, what would happen on each trip and then the last part was really crazy. I just couldn't imagine how it would work out! The only part that kind of had me shaking my head was the jeep. I really didn't think that would pass by the men but any time you read a book or read a movie you have to accept a few "whats" to really enjoy the story. I did enjoy it and would highly recommend this book and I am looking forward to reading more by Karen Nortman. I already have the 2nd Frannie story loaded and ready to go on my Kindle.

This compelling novel has two narrators: The mother and the daughter. Their different perspectives are viewed with ongoing interest by the reader who is fascinated by time travel. What lends further interest to the protagonists' experiences is that at times they converge and at times they separate, imbuing the story with varying degrees of contrast in time. The author must have done extensive research into the eras covered because they are astonishingly correct in description, detail, and even vernacular.
Many items mentioned in this article can be seen in historical museums, thereby verifying their accuracy. Further, depending upon the age of the reader and where they resided, certain artifacts can be recalled from their childhood, so nostalgia is also introduced, as is a bit of romance.
Read it; you will love it.

I have read the author's Frannie Shoemaker camping mysteries and liked them, and was not sure I would enjoy a book that included time travel. The Time Travel Trailer is an exceptional book. The trips to the past are artfully done, and the author blends in some of the history of the periods visited without giving a lecture. The mother/daughter relationship is so authentic (with the usual ups and downs of teen years) that you want to laugh and then kick a door. The real surprise was Ben's story. I thought it was almost an aside, but it ended up being the best part of the book. I highly recommend The Time Travel Trailer.

Kindle unlimited, could have been a little better in some areas, and the switch from one person to another view was confusing to me, but what really made me wonder is some of the reviewers actually read the book, for real, completely and to the end, was that I caught several cross overs with characters from the 'past' versus the current present, etc, and some reviewew was totally unable to even decipher what they were supposed to mean or the reason for the rating such as saying liked the book, then not giving it a 5, 4, 3 o even 2, but a 1, really hard to figure out what the stars mean when the store says 5 levels yet accepts reviews that say good or better book then turn around and rate it 1 which is basically worst. HOWEVER after going through all 3 books and seeing wrong time period things and other MAJOR issues, all the books dropped down, bcause great premise does NOT exlude bad execution.
A 1937 vintage camper trailer half hidden in weeds catches Lynne McBriar’s eye when she is visiting an elderly friend Ben. Ben eagerly sells it to her and she just as eagerly embarks on a restoration. But after each remodel, sleeping in the trailer lands Lynne and her daughter Dinah in a previous decade—exciting, yet frightening. Glimpses of their home town and ancestors fifty or sixty years earlier is exciting and also offers some clues to the mystery of Ben’s lost love. But when Dinah makes a trip on her own, separating herself from her mother by decades, Lynne has never known such fear. It is a trip that may upset the future if Lynne and her estranged husband can't team up to bring their daughter back.

I was impressed with the historical research that went into this book. There was plenty of suspense in all time frames, and any lingering questions were r/t the backstory. Publisher's blurb will give you clues, and I won't insult the author with spoilers. It is a book that grabs your attention and brings you back whenever you have a few minutes to stick your nose in it. No gratuitous erotica. I, too, want to get the next installment.
I got the audio version, and supersnark Valerie gave a great performance!

The Time Travel Trailer Series: Book 1
I am a sucker for time travel books, so I especially loved this one. Lynne McBriar acquires a 1937 vintage camper trailer from an elderly neighbor she has befriended. When she takes the trailer out for an overnight something unexpected happens – she wakes up to a day in the 1960s! She chalks this up to some weird dream or imagination until it happens again after she has begun renovation on the trailer and ends up in an even earlier decade.
The plot is simple and the book is an amazingly quick read (or listen, as I listened to the audiobook). Lynne and her daughter uncover some clues about the elderly neighbor along the way, and help to solve a little mystery regarding him.
This isn’t great literature, and it honestly isn’t even particularly original, but that doesn’t even matter to me because I really loved it, and I can’t wait to get my hands on the sequel!!
Highly recommended for anyone who wants a simple beach read, or just loves time travel books like I do!
The narrator, Valerie Gilbert does a fantastic job with this audiobook, too.

The trailer is purchased for maybe camping/maybe a home office. The trailer has other ideas. A broken family hopefully healed. I truly enjoyed this story, perhaps more suited for 12-14 year olds. Maybe the description said that and I totally missed it. In any event, I really enjoyed it. I have the next one through Kindle Unlimited, so I will finish what I hope is the family story. Or maybe Ben and Millie's story.

This time travel novel is original and creative. Traveling in a trailer is common, but traveling in time adds a new dimension. There is constant suspense as Lynn and her fourteen year old daughter Dinah are never sure how this time travel works and worry about returning to the present. The characters are well developed and likeable, even Lynn's former husband who maintains relationships, not always perfect, with both his former wife and daughter. Would recommend this to anyone.

A great read. I totally enjoyed this creative adventure. Our author does a great job creating each era the characters end up in.
I feel some of the situations could have been more fully developed, but for a shorter book perhaps that was curtailed.
The story was very well paced right from the beginning.
I will read more from this author.

This was a very unique time travel book.Imagine going to sleep in your refurbished camper only to wake up in another time at that same location!It left me with a lot of 'what ifs'.I loved it and can not wait to get the next in the series. Valerie Gilbert is great with the narration.I was given this book free

The book was very well written and avoids most of the time travel story tropes. Most time travel books feel the need to introduce historical characters, but Nortman keeps the story small and personal. Because of the linear writing style, the book started off slowly but the characters kept me engaged and caring about them enough to keep reading. The payoff was an absorbing adventure and a nice relatable tale about relationships.
