RECENT UPDATE.. This is a Winnebago not a Westerner.I didn't know that Westerner was in business this long. I thought they went under in 60 but not so. Here's their version of a Dome Trailer built in 1961....

I didn't even know they made that configuration. Very cool.
The bunk must have been for kids. I always though it would be like sleeping in a coffin for a 6' tall man.

I'm pretty sure that's a Winnebago trailer. They built trailers at first and then moved on to RV's.

I'll have to change the title now LOL.... Dang it. That scheme looked so much like the Westerner and all I can see of the upper emblem is the W. Never even would have thought of it being a Winnie... Good job figuring it out.  |

I've got a couple of pics of small Winnebago campers with no ugly stuff sticking to their foreheads. One is a 1960 and one is a 1965 Small and cute, maybe 14', canned ham shaped (visualize that dome in the pic above after it was introduced to a motivated CUTTER). The 1960 one looks like it is owned by a SOTF. Guess they went predominantly with the motorhome concept because they had less competition at that time.
