unscrew the mirror and see if there is a date stamp on the back of it.

Ross is the Vin expert. If you send him your VIN # he can help you out. Also post a pic for us. There are a few very small things that are clues. If it is a 63, it probably has front side marker lights. Besides the mirror, you may have a date on the bottom of your sink, too.

Hey Gina,
Based on the vin#, your Compact is from 1968. If it were from 1963, it would be a 4 digit vin#.
Hope this helps.

A '68 would be a different body style from a 63, too. It would be toaster shaped.

Have a Shasta compact trailer. Trying to determine the year. Somewhere between 61 to 64. Have the Vin # V 5643. Any help would be appreciated.

Ross will be able to get you the closest to the real date. You can look behind the mirror or under the sink for dates although it could still be off a year due to actual build/installation. 63 and 64s usually have front (amber) marker lights and earlier years only have rear red marker lights on the side. Although, I have seen a couple of 63's with front marker lights.

pat1 Based on the vin#, your Shasta Compact was born in Goshen Indiana, the last quarter of 1959 and probably sold in 1960. Hope this helps. Ross
