No really....Bravo. I am having a good deal of trouble finding any kind of information about these trailers. The only thing I have been able to find out is these were only produced for a few years in the early 70's. This particular model was designed a lot like the Shasta Loflyte. This one was destined to become a utility flatbed. It took a couple of weeks of debate, but decided to rescue it. Everything about this says "early 70's", including a bit of missing framing. I have a pretty good idea of how it was supposed to be laid out, and also have some ideas for this near-blank-slate. Even though the only remaining original appliance is the heater, it is not real likely to work. I do suppose that replacing that is not the worst thing that will ever happen to this trailer!

This is the only other clue as to the model of the trailer. Here is a unique feature...no roof vent! Anyone got any ideas, clues, information, about these babies? There sure wasn't much available with a couple quick Gooooogle searches.

Do the other low liners have roof vents? Aristocrat makes one but I never noticed if it had a top vent or not.

The couple of the Shastas that I found photos of appear to have the roof vents. I also found a photo of an Aristocrat, but not the LoLiner model. (The '65 Land Commander has one...)

My 65 Loliner did not have a roof vent. It was designed to go into normal garage openings with "lowering" wheels.
I also have a 65 Northwest Coach with no roof vent.
Both of my LoFlytes did have roof vents, but I've heard that some did not. It depended on the buyer. If you wanted a bunk in a 68 LoFlyte, only one roof vent in the front. No bunk, and two vents the other over the non existent bunk. No vents and no refrigerator and it might fit into the garage. (Fridge vent in a LoFlyte adds almost 6 inches)

I got the other photos I had taken loaded into the ole bucket o' photos, in case anyone cares to look further... s1178.photobucket.com/user/crw2620/library/Rare%20Bravo%20camper?sort=3&page=1I did not measure the height of this one, but it seems like it is lower than the Compact and the Airflyte. A quick measuring put the overall length at 16' bumper-to-ball, and about 13'-3" end-to-end on the cabin. I am not really expecting to get a lot done on this one for quite a while, as it is now third in line behind the Shastas, both of which are currently stalled out.
