charliemyers where are you getting all these compacts from?? lets see the insides Well mel, funny story that I'm sure happens all the time. My wife and I found the '64 locally (~35 miles from home), and we've had our eye on it for quite a while. Over a year ago I found who I thought was the owner, composed a letter expressing our interest to buy, and mailed it. Never heard back. A couple months back I finally figured that I'd pay the owner a visit. Initially my heart sank because the first thing she said was 'That ole thing? It'll just sit there and rot into the ground'. It had wings AND a title! After spending the better part of an hour chatting with her, I was finally able to convince her to at least write down my name & number before I left. Never thought I'd hear back from her. A couple weeks after that, my wife spied the '61 advertised online and started communicating with the owners. The price was agreeable, but it was a 10 hour drive each way to get it! So long story short, I borrowed a flatbed trailer, wife and I drove the 10 hours, stayed for the night, loaded up the camper in the morning and headed home with it. We finally had the Compact that we'd wanted for so long! About two days after getting home with the '61, the nice lady that I chatted with previously called my wife and said that we could come down to get the '64 in a few weeks after she'd had time to clean some junk out of it. It was sunk in the ground as you can see, so we dug it out, put tires on it (borrowed from our own recently acquired '61), and pulled it home. Interior pics may come later, but they're nothing real special. The birch is painted in the '61 but the '64 actually has a few pieces that can be saved. I'm trying to find time to continue rebuilding a '64 Streamline Countess, so I doubt that I'll get started on any of the Shastas before next summer. Charlie Charlie Save

Hey lovemyshasta , Unfortunately, there's not a lot of info that I can tell you, regarding your Shasta's vin#. But here is what I can tell you, there is a prefix letter and two numbers missing. Based on what you have given me, the original vin# should read "A??P-003645" and your Shasta was produced in 1977. Coachmen Industries purchased the Shasta brand in 1976. Not really sure where yours was produced. If you happen to find the rest of the vin#, I would greatly appreciate it, if you let me know what you found. Ross

Hi Ross I think it is A01P-003645 made in Leola, PA. Does that make sense? I really appreciate all your help in anything you can tell me!! Your a lifesaver!! I went back and looked and the A I couldn't tell before because it could have been a 4 due to one of the legs missing. The next number is definitely a 0 and the next one is hard to see but looks like a 1

Noob to the forum, hello all. I just picked up a 16' Shasta believed to be a 1960, plus or minus. Vin is V3880. Believe it's an Airflite but would appreciate any help identifying it. It had a toilet, blackwater tank still present.

flic.kr/p/UqsDnY flic.kr/p/UqukjEJust purchased this Shasta trailer and can not seem to find the vin# on it. I was wanting to find the exact year and any other information that can be provided? I was also wanting to know if there is an exact place for a battery?

thunderdome, Your Airflyte was produced in 1959, in Goshen, Indiana. cwcoolcow, Based on your Compact's vin#, it was produced in Columbia, SC in 1974. shastabob, Your Shasta Starflyte was produced in 1967 in Columbia, South Carolina. djones, Your Compact was produced in 1962, in Goshen, Indiana.....probably in the last quarter of the year and may not have been titled until 1963.

dkayt8 , Did you search the curbside of the tongue for the vin#? As for the battery placement, I have no idea, sorry. Ross
