Doesn’t look like a Shasta serial number, but is this a rear kitchen? Shasta did make several models with a rear side entry. Other manufacturers did too, so someone should have an answer for you.

I'm just going to be guessing and spit-balling here a little, but here's my opinion, for what it's worth.
The VIN looked to me from the start that it may have been a "home-made" registration, and stamped to match an assigned number by some state's DMV. It sure is not a Shasta factory number, but I cannot speak for any other brand's VIN.
At first I thought possibly it was an Aristocrat. They copied the Shasta models very closely and there were some minor differences, but the point at the nose was similar, and the wheel well cutouts are squared too. Then I realized the front window looks just like the rear window on my '70 Shasta. The siding didn't jive, though, nor do the windows. The streetside view looks like double-vision, and I cannot name a single manufacturer that has a seam running vertically directly in the middle of the trailer. It looks like the two windows used to be the side windows at the rear of the trailer, but were moved one in front of the other. The streetside also has that high bunk window, which makes no sense at all place opposite the door. On the rear, that small window up high was common for a bathroom placed in a rear corner, but it is a strange placement again in comparison to the door. Shasta also used a smooth aluminum siding on the front and rear walls, rather than matching the sidewall siding. I really wanted to say that this had been reconfigured and rebuilt with all new siding and layout, but a few things, like the door, look like original build. If this was anything like a Loflyte or Aristocrat Loliner, it was severely re-engineered and a lot of money spent on a rebuild that changed its configuration a lot. I am more inclined to think it was another brand altogether, perhaps updated in its structure, ... But that is all just a W-A-G.

Could it be a Coachmen I saw one a few mouths back with a similar layout but the door was in front of the wheel, and I don’t remember the window layout. There were a set of bunks at the back street side with bathroom at back curb side. It was a mid 70s modal.
