So I have my old Frolic travel trailer and trying to research it. I've looked at obtaining one for some time and thought research on it would be easy since you see many restored or being restored all the time these days. Being a car guy, I figured there'd be a wealth on information on the interweb just waiting for me.
We'll I was wrong. Unless it's an Airstream or Shasta it seems info is limited.
So anyone with any ideas or thoughts, or who might point me in a direction for more info, would be greatly appreciated.
I call it a Frolic only because it has the Frolic logo on the back. I've been unable, thus far, to locate a VIN or serial number anywhere. I expected a tag somewhere, but in reading I've inspected the tongue frame hoping to find something. I have yet to sand to remove the paint in hopes of finding one.
Luckily, my daughter works for the local County Clerks office and was able to obtain the VIN/SN from the license plate info attached to the camper from previous owners. Turns out the info from the plate says it's a 2004 Pioneer 24', which I'm pretty certain it's not. So I've deduced that the plate currently on it is from another camper and probably put on to look "official" while pulling from point A to point B at some point.
So hoping the person I'm getting it from can find his title or VIN info to help.
In the meantime, I thought I'd share photos to see if anyone has any thoughts? Most of the other Frolics I've seen appear newer than mine based on the wide aluminum strip along the seams (something I hope polishes up really nice when done). The few Frolics on the Frolic FB group page (which seems to get no traffic) have narrow strips.
Thoughts anyone?
