We just had a new neighbor move in next to our little Paso Robles house. What do you know, she owns a canned ham also, and she parked in on her driveway, just like we did.  Does anyone know what kind the aqua trailer is? I believe the lady is trying to sell it, but I forget what she said it was. Early 1950's I do remember. Gustave |

Very cool coincidence.
In my area with 1 million people I know of two vintage campers. I own both of them.

I would say mid 50s; looks like my 54 Bellwood but wheel wells and windows are wrong. Wonder if it's a really early Cardinal? (K window) Also could be a Cozy Cruiser... There were SO MANY brands in this era, it could be anything.

My first guess would also be a Cozy Cruiser.

Yep that is your basic mid 50s canned ham. I've got a chassis and I'm thinking of building one from scratch on it. I notice that the street side only has one window.

Everything but the floor and the chassis went to the dump. |

The thing is about as "ham-like" as a camper could get. Very tiny too. Seems even smaller than our Aljoa, though I've not yet been inside. The window on the street side seems a little odd, being placed so high. Maybe it looks better from inside.

That's why I was thinking Cozy Cruiser, the fore runner of the early Shastas. They were tiny, hammy and not very many windows...

Everything but the floor and the chassis went to the dump. I had to go back and watch it again. That was a cool looking trailer. I like the stripe on the side. |
