I recently acquired an older camper that I have considered restoring, but I'm not even sure what type or year it is. It has a couple metal plates on the side with different numbers that would probably I'd the trailer if I knew how to decipher them. Any help would be really appreciated. I have pics of the trailer and the I'd plates but I don't know how to post them.

You are right it is made by Northwest Coach, probably in El Monte California...I believe they had campers under that name, but most of us associate the most popular Northwest Coach camper(s) as the ones in the "Dipper" Series...check out this thread for some basic info and try and match your camper to one of the ones pictured. Also look at the pics and see if your camper may have had a Little Dipper emblem attached which is missing. Good Luck! www.facebook.com/littledippertraveltrailers/

Looks to be a NW Dipper, not sure if it's a "Little" Dipper or just the Dipper model... Here's a link to mine: 65northwestcoach.shutterfly.com/ Definitely a Little Dipper.

Nice job detectives on nailing down the model.. I like NC would guess it to be around 68 or even a bit earlier were it not for the California Label. Being in CA. and having had a few trailers I don't see the 8 stamp positions on anything earlier then 1970 and that is orange/red,71 teal,72 forest green and so I would call it a 71 unless I had something else to go on.

Thanks everyone. I've enjoyed looking at ya lls campers and seeing what ya ll have done with them. It does look like a little supper to me also after seeing all the pics. Any ideas on narrowing down the year? Merry Christmas everyone
