Hello! I'm working on my first trailer!
I've got this adorable canned ham and have no idea what it is. The title says "1994 Handmade" and can't locate an original VIN on the chassis (couldn't actually even find any stamped VIN). It's got a double stack tongue so my theory is that they welded them together in order to title it with the other trailer's VIN. We bought it from some people in Arkansas and brought it to Los Angeles. The market here at the time was competitive and prices were a bit higher.
They gooped it up with silicone and now I know better than to buy one like that. Sigh.
I hadn't even owned it a week and someone backed into it, denting the front street side seam and rocking it back into a telephone pole. THANK GOD we didn't have it chocked because it was able to just fall off the ancient cone jack stand and roll back. The back had minimal cosmetic damage and a busted tail light cover. We rent and our landlord doesn't let us use the back part of the yard (where there's an open driveway and a locked gate
) so I have it parked on the street in front of the house which is a huge bummer and obviously a huge risk.
We found an awesome vacation trailer park only for vintage trailers and after a year on the wait list we were lucky enough to get a spot and we moved in there.
Well after the first winter that seam busted open. We managed to get it home safely, wrapped in plastic, thanks to this forum.
I figured since people enjoy following along here that I would share. I'm working on more videos that I created a Patreon page for than just pics, currently trying to get caught up with the editing on the story there thus far.

Usually he's in the window on the curb side by the door.
