Hi Friends, Worthy of some pix due to it's rarity. 19??     Pity it's got a rotted frame. Here is the text from the Seattle Craigslist ad: This is a project, obviously it’s just under 12 ft needs everything.
Construction is aircraft rivet , unfortunately the entire frame rotted out. (Yes the aluminum corroded and rotted)
I am over it, never going to happen, you interested make offer.
One of a kind

Oh, but with those skylight windows, they are such gorgeous trailers when they’re restored. But $1500? I think not.

That’s what I call ghost camper…you can see it but it’s really not there. If you touch it, it turns to dust. But I love the trolly top. A thing of beauty…real or not.
thanks for sharing it.

40s... what an awful amount of work! The new marker lights kill it for me. A travesty. No paper work, no deal. One wonders if it can even be moved on to a flat bed. How did it get there in the first place? Interior pix missing, I wonder if its gutted. Could someone build a frame for it and then drop the body onto it? Maybe find some donor trailer and use the frame off of it. What's the back story on this trailer? Answers we will never know.  Another mystery of the Vintage Travel Trailer Universe. Rod |

Might as well use the photo's to create your own from scratch. At least you would have the something to take to the BMV...
When I see a trailer I like the shape of I save the pictures so that, who knows, one day you could build your own to look like it.
Just a thought, didn't say it was a good one,

The rotted aluminum sounds like a nightmare to me... one person mentioned "diamond plating" her 55 Boles skins because of severe metal cancer. Yuk.

The sellers might be kind enough to give it away? The work involved to bring this back to life is astronomical.
