I believe it may be related to Holiday Rambler trailers. They had a "Holidaire" and the Vacationaire may have been another model.
Looks to be 68 or later but hard to tell without looking at the interior.

I was looking through the Holiday Ramblers but my door placement is really different. I found some information on a 1950-1970 company that manufactured the Vacationaire Friendship (Friendship Mobile Homes as mentioned in this historical article: adamshistory.com/?page_id=1327 ). The interior is unrecognizable, most of it's been torn out and the rest has severe water damage, it's going to have to be a nearly complete gut and revamp, including the floors, roof, etc. The only sound part is the aluminum exterior haha. It does look similar to the holiday rambler Travelaire, it's really close but the windows on the door side are different. Still, here's a picture of the interior! We haven't had time to deal with the major problems (the roof) yet, just got it yesterday!  |

Thanks for the pix and info. Around here, we don't GUT our trailers. The easy way to fix rot is to lift the skins. You have full access to the framing that way. There is no access below floor level from the inside and much of the rot is at the very bottom. I recommend watching Mobiltec's videos before starting on the repairs. They will give you an idea how a stick and tin trailer is rebuilt. cannedhamtrailers.com/Here is my book: vintagetrailerrepairmanual.weebly.com/ |
