New mystery Camper! Jun 22, 2020 17:10:43 GMT -8

Hi everyone. I just picked up a very funky project trailer and it turns out I have no idea what kind of trailer it is. The guy I got it from thought it was a 63 Fireball but I don't think it is. I found an old California 56 license plate in it with a 62 sticker on it but I'm not sure that it belongs to the trailer. There is a VIN on the hitch but there are no badges on it besides the TCA badge and California Division of Housing badge. and one that is just stamped P-394. Any help would be really appreciated!

It's hard to tell. I have no idea of the brand but it looks early 60s to me. Check out "vintage trailer images" on Google-you might find one similar.

Hi Friends,

Gonna take a WAG. 1960 Coastline or near that year. Maybe the design was created in 1956 and held over for a few years? But, it does look newer as Vikx stated. This image shows a similar trailer with the diamond pattern on the door and the brake pattern seems similar.

Found it while researching another trailer.

Cheers,

Rod

Oops.
