I think it's a Go-Tag-Along. It's a 1975 Go-Tag-A-Long. I'd be willing to bet my first born. (you'd give her back if I lost) Be nice to me and I'll send you pics

Just as we are off the original track of this thread....
By the way, if anyone sees rickiejones, send 'em on over willya??
I do remember the original now, now that I see it again. Funny part is we are not much closer to an answer now than we were then! Like I said, where is safetybruce when ya need him!

This is really getting to the point it should be its own thread....just sayin'....
The photos don't show the "ghosts" of the logos, unfortunately. However, the additional photos may help someone in the know to recognize it and confirm its identity.
The interior shots have definitely got a '70 vibe to them...that paneling was common in the early 70's (again especially in the Shastas I am familiar with.) I am convinced you can call this one any doggone thing you want...it is one cool trailer. Just noticed the slider windows in the front! Never seen that before...cool factor keeps increasing.
(P.S. I do not know if it will amount to anything, but I wrote to the owner of the Excel in the ad, to see if they would send along some photos. Hoping some better looks at it will tell, and besides, who doesn't collect photos of old campers??)

Closer to 10's (I'll send a message so he can bail my first born out). The inside of Go-Tag-a-Long has been remodeled. But it has a green stove and different drawer pulls. Layout is like the Excel. But it could still be something different.

Another good identifying factor is that tail light setup, the use of the yellow markers along side the tail lights should be pretty unique. Had a friend (I know I know....hard to believe...) that tried something like it on a 1400 once....

Sadly, not much out there about them. Excel's were truck campers. What I read said they did not make a pull behind trailer until 1969. If you google it, truck campers come up! You might get some info from the company. Here's the history: www.excelrvs.com/about-us/company-profile
