Hello! I would love to know what this thing is... Ran into it today and got a couple of pictures. Looks like a Scotty in the wheel wells but havent seen one this long! Looks like 50s with the shape and windows.. Bargman door handles? Interesting. Thoughts welcome! Hilarious roof, but looks nice otherwise for the age.

I think it's a trailer, trying to pass as a house. It needs to come out and admit its a trailer!  I actually have no idea what it is, I'm sure one of our experts will, but it looks so cute hiding under the roof, I had to crack a joke! |

TDunno what it is, but if any one of those SIX gas tanks blows, the ensuing conflagration will destroy everything within a quarter mile radius.
I really MUST not respond to posts in the middle of the night.

Haha. Yes It sure was fun seeing the set up, propane tanks, roof, and funny redneck sign and all! I wonder how you come to accumulate 6 of those things. One for each decade??

I agree it is not a Scotty on steroids. I'm working on an identity, but if I drove past this one, I would have to turn around and knock on the door and ask the owner what it is. The siding brake pattern, the shape of the rear along with the wheel well cutout could help with the ID. I'm guessing early to mid-50's at the latest. If it has a fold out step, I'd bet the name will be on it in raised letters. Thanks for posting it rich.
Oh and rich, if you do go by it again and stop, ask the owner if s/he has an XXL Redneck Beach and Yacht Club T-shirt in red, and I'll buy one!

Man I would love if you managed to identify it I know you are the king of identifying mystery trailers. And yes I would need one of those t shirts as well! This is one of my favorite parts of VTT. Identifying and commenting on ones gor sale. Never know what will pop up. And ig any one loves the roof I can also ask how it was built... |

I have found the siding brake pattern on a 1951 Terco (Terry) Rambler but I don't know how long the longest Terco trailer was. BUT I also found the same siding AND on the street side (living room) of the mystery trailer a window that matches the window on the front side of the RB&YC trailer in front of the front door, curb side. That would be matching living room side windows. It also has the rear street side bedroom window configured like the RB&YC trailer, two stacked push-out Hehr windows the same size. Those matches were on a 1950 Roadmaster about the same length or a bit longer. The Roadmaster I have the photo of is a tandem axel, but the wheel well cutout is curved in front and does angle back and downward after the second tire. Little different tail, but we might be in the ball park considering a very late 40's very early 50's Roadmaster as a possibility.

You cant be far off if you haven't nailed it already. I also found a couple photos of a longer Roadmaster but not quite the same, very similar. It's definitely one of the longer canned hams I have seen, much less in person. If you have photos of the ones you have in mind shoot them over! |

The "red neck beach and yacht club" looks like my kind of place. The chicken coop roof actually looks like it would be pretty effective in keeping the water on the outside (at least while in the tiny house mode). Nice assemblage of (7) gas cylinders! Adds a whole new aspect to Glamping.  Mark |

Maybe there are number of cylinders, because when active members visit, or possibly spend some vacation time there, they hook up their personal tank...proper Redneck Beach and Yacht Club etiquette amongst Members to be sure!

This one may be a Columbia. That's the only thing I've seen with the skin inside out so to speak (the raised brake lines) I have a 1950 here and it also has a changing pattern. On mine the brake lines narrow as it nears the roof,on this one they narrow as they approach the center. A bit less rounded then mine,so I'm thinking 53/54 with the early style L-66's on it and if I'm not mistaken they became pretty square in 55..
If you go back look for a triangular tag near the door. Careful them coon and possum traps though..

Nice observation I bet you are right it's a huge clue having the inside out brake pattern and they do look similar to a couple other Columbias I saw after your suggestion. Neat! |
