It's a 50s canned ham but what make? I don't know... There's a lot missing from the trailer; windows are particularly hard to find. If you have some more photos, we can make a stab at the make...

It could be a 55. Still don't have a clue what brand it is.

Hi and Welcome,
That wavelike red paint pattern on the side wall is the only thing we will have to work with for identification and that's an unusual pattern. There is a book that might have one in it, but, it's really obscure. I am traveling and can't look it up for a few days. We may not be able to identify this one. Is there anything above the rear window? Sometimes there are vestiges of the emblem visible there.

I was hauling junk to a salvage yard, and a lady gave it to me just to get it out of a barn lot, along with other junk. My wife ensisted I bring it home and restore it. That was about 10 years ago. She said it belonged to two homeless men who died many years ago. So I have no title. It was trashed, restoring to original condition i thought was out of question. I recently have rebuilt the inside. Floor clear to metal frame, fenders, most of the wall and ceiling studs. New ceiling and paneling. Redid all the J channel, patched a few holes. Added a bed, ottoman, frig, and AC. Ready to shine up the outside. Took it camping over the 4 of July. Lot of work but fun. Got lots of lookers at camp ground.

Is there anything above the rear window? Sometimes there are vestiges of the emblem visible there. Rod I am following up. I was finally able to look through the Field Guide of Vintage Trailers seeking a needle in a haystack. Came up dry, unfortunately. There were hundreds of manufactures in the era of this trailer. Some came and went and a few were able to eek out an existence for a while. The book doesn't list every trailer made, but it's got a lot in it. This one didn't happen to be within. Glad you were able to get your trailer campable. Cheers, Rod |
