Thank you for contacting me about this. I have a 1969 Shasta Compact Vin# P15723 = I was told the floor plan is a Skeeter. I purchased it after it had been redone, the interior is old style but he used the wrong siding. It has many issues like laping up water creating leaks. Bummer. Anyone know where to get a cover that fits these "tiny wonders of delight" I am so tired of the, way to big cover that has roof deterioration in 9 months. I am looking at a horse trailer cover today. Maybe? Again thanks Jannet

tiajannet You are correct on the year of your Shasta Compact. Not sure what the "Skeeter" floor plan is, sounds like it was given that name by the person who "rebuilt" the camper. So sorry to hear that about your Shasta. It sounds like the best solution is to have the skins looked at and possible replaced correctly. A quality cover is a short term fix, as long as the camper is parked. These are high quality rv covers. They are not cheap, but in my opinion, they are worth the money. We have one for our 28' travel trailer and we love it. Element RV CoverThere are covers on eBay and they state that they will fit some Shastas. However, they are basically dust covers and not for keeping water out, as well as, providing adequate air flow under the cover for the camper. I know this, because I bought one and it failed within 1 month of being used outside.

michaelaj99 The first vin# is that of a 1954 Shasta 1500 or could possible be an early 1400, from Van Nuys California. What is the total length, tongue to bumper? As for the unknown trailer, it's not a Shasta vin#. Not sure what make or model it is. Post some pictures and others may be able to help determine what you might have. finnfisher Looks like you have a 1969 Shasta Loflyte, which was produced in Goshen, Indiana.

I have a 1964 Shasta according to the calif title. However i cannot find a picture anywhere on line that looks like mine. One clue is a cargo door drivers side on the rear. No toliet. The serial # is CS 24447 verified by title, tongue stamp and plate from Indiana. It also has Northridge plate which I know backs up the "CS" in the #. What year is it? I. Believe it may be a 65. I am restoring it and would love to share phots/experiences.

I currently have over 375 Shasta Vin's and would love to add your Shasta's VIN Number and Model to the database. This really comes in handy for helping others date their Shasta's. Those of you who would like to share your info, you can either post it here or PM me with the info. I am only looking for the Year, VIN# and the Model of your Shasta. This Database list is not published or available to the public. There are some Shasta owners that don't want their Vin#'s made public and I value their privacy. I really appreciate your help with this and thank you very much. Ross So, DMV tells me I have a 1969 Compact. Curbside VIN and weld plate match, but the Facebook Compact group is telling me my toaster isn't a Shasta despite being able to see the remnants of the old decals on a few of my original skins, and Shasta plates (no emblems). I have S30447 as the VIN, echoed on the tongue with the same numbers followed by a PA 7693... there may be one other number I could not see. I have a weird single tongue step up I have never seen before and Im wondering if the year is off. I sure wish I knew what the heck I was remodeling because my heart is in this! Staff Note: If possible, when seeking information, please add a photo with your inquiry to aid in identification.

I just bought what I think is a 18 foot Stratoflyte. No title, just a bill of sale. Been tossed from hand to hand but the VIN number is P25041. Just want to know the year atleast.

With the prefix letter "C", it was never followed by the letter "S". However, the prefix letter "G" was followed by the letter "S". Could your Shasta's vin number be GS24227? There should also be another set of letters and numbers, either on the tongue or the info plate....which would have been screwed to the curbside of the of the Shasta. It will be either an oval or round plate. It will be have the prefix letters "PA" , then followed by 4 digits.
