Hi all- just bought what I believe is a 1963 Shasta Airflyte although previous bill of sale stated it was 1966 and clearly is not. Was able to get thru paint and dirt to find VIN which is P1192. Hoping someone can definitively tell me the year and model. Thanks! Scott G.

Hi Scott,
I have a Pennsylvania-built Airflyte with VIN P34XX, which is confirmed to be a 1964 model. The VIN numbers on Shastas ran sequentially, so the letter "P" designated the plant as Pennsylvania, and the numbers would place yours ahead of mine in manufacturing order. This it had to be made in 1964 or before.
The VIN numbers for Shastas never designated the models, and several different models were built at the Pennsylvania plant, but plenty of them were Airflytes. You may be able to define your trailer by rummaging through the brochures section here on this forum.
You may be able to track down a more specific time by running through the thread here of the Shasta VIN database. There are lots of entries, and there were several plants, so going through it would be a process, but you might find some VIN's that are closer to your own.
Also, check the bottom of the sink basin. They were stamped with a manufacturing date on the side of the outside of the basin. This is not necessarily exact, but if the sink is dated 1962, the trailer could not have been built before that date. (Of course, any time after is possible, but from what I have seen, they were pretty close.) There may also be a manufacturing date stamped on the back of the mirror, if the original is present in the trailer.

Bought a 1969 Shasta compact according to title. Vin on title and tongue matches as S24870. Have a feeling it might be a bit older. Anyone have any info?

We just bought a 1970 Shasta Compact and the VIN on the camper is P1006 and the plate on the side says it came from Pennsylvania. However, the title lists it as Puma Camper Trailer with the VIN listed as 014149. Shouldn't they be the same number?
Thanks!
