Hello, I am Greg Rogers. I have purchased what I believe is a Easy Travler 13 ft. I got no title or registration ( which may be a big mistake) I have purchased utility trailers which were no problem to get a registration for but the Michigan Secretary of State is being fussy about this as it is a travel trailer. Anyway, I am looking for any info you guys may have. I have not been able to find a VIN on it yet. Well thanks for having me, I am looking forward to hanging out and learning from you guys and gals! Greg. Oh I am trying to insert a pic of it, how do you do that? Thanks again.

Hello and Welcome Greg, Here is how to post pix to the forum. You will need a Flickr account. Here’s how: vintagetrailertalk.freeforums.net/thread/7276/add-photos-hosted-flickr-tutoria You can post links, too, but it’s just nicer if the pix are posted in the thread. For info on Easy Traveler, you can find information on the TCT or Tin Can Tourist site. Easy Traveler isn’t a well known brand, but pix will help to narrow down the date range of manufacture. Body design, windows and even marker lights can help once viewed. The VIN should be on the tongue of the trailer somewhere. This thread provides some good information on this. vintagetrailertalk.freeforums.net/thread/829/specific-location-vin-number#:~:text=Usually%20found%20near%20the%20top,8%20of%20an%20inch%20high. It’s based on a Shasta, but the locations are pretty much the same for most vintage trailers. BTW, vintage trailers had a serial number not a VIN. It’s common place for most people (including me until I was corrected) to call this number the VIN, but it’s really a serial number. But we know what you mean. We will look forward to seeing your trailer. Cheers, Rod |

Thanks Rod, I did find a stamped # on the coupler-(not the # of the patient,etc) it is 299- that's all... I saw a fella on this site who is restoring a 1958 Easy Travler, which looks like mine. I think he hasn't posted since 2021. I would like to PM him- What I am hoping to see is a format of another Easy Travler serial #- I have heard the # starts with ESTRA-ES=Easy, TRA=Traveler... Then most other serial #'s for other brands might have a 13(13ft), and 57(for 1957) So maybe ESTRA1357299??? Thanks again. I am hoping to hear from someone who has a Easy Travler of those years. Also I have looked on Tin Can Trailers and got some info from them- actually there is a trailer on there that looks just like mine. Ok I'll try to figure out posting some pics..
