This was a camper my grand parents owned. They used it for storage as I was never allowed in it. I couldn't find any markings on it or tags. Had some very old Armstrong Rhino Flex white walls mounted to 5 lug 15' wheels with two different Chevy baby moon hub caps. I've dated the hubcaps to 1950-1951. The camper was supported by cinder blocks underneath on the frame. The tires weren't touching the ground and actually took/held 15psi air pressure. They're dry rotted but are still holding that same psi almost 5 months later. I always remembered it being parked in the same place I'm 39 now. So I think it was parked there 40-50 years and these trees grew around slowly crushing it. The pictures aren't great as the vegetation around it was thick. I have since pulled the trailer frame out from underneath it to make a utility trailer before the rest went to the scrap. I hope that someone may be able to identify what it is? The inside was dangerous and full of gardening chemicals so I stayed out of it.
On the tongue it next to the extendable stand it has has stampings that read General Corp. Quincy, Cal. I think its Quincy but I can't read beyond the c. I can't find any info online. I have the trailer frame, it's C channel steel and very heavy. The spring shackle bushings are greaseable. It has 6 leaf springs. It doesn't have a tube axle but a one piece solid forged drop axle with 5 lug GM stamped hubs. All bearings were USA made Timken and the seals were old Chicago Rawhide seals. I replaced one outer bearing that had a bent cage, repacked them and bought new wheel seals. I will get better pictures of the frame trailer. We tied a large tow strap between the trees and snatched the frame out from underneath it, lol. The old tires went through that with no problems and the trailer rolled right out.
