I scored this adorable trailer for only $200! It's been totally gutted. Any idea year, make, model? Those windows are pretty unique

 

[Arch Hoagland]

Don't know what it is but it looks like the perfect starting point for a remodel.  Body appears to be in relatively good condition.

Have fun!

 

[supermanotorious]

ah ha! I did find a VIN, I'm guessing this is a 70's model.

Zieman is lippert now I think.

It is very cute and it will be a great project !

 

[Rene T]

Did you mean to say they paid you to take it?  : :-[ :-X :-\ :'( ;D
Just kidding. Should be a nice project. I'll bet the windows are originals.

 

[Gizmo100]

Rene play nice.... ;D

Congrats on the new project...That should keep you busy for a while.

It looks alot like an old Shasta that we had back in the 80s. By old, I mean, it was from the 60s. It had the same windows if I remember right.

 

[SpencerPJ]

I love all the glass. 

Great, fun project.  A friend bought something similar for his daughter and her jeep, a tad smaller.  They are having fun making a cool retro trailer for her.  (sure seems he is doing most of the work though, lol)

Keep us posted on your progress  )

i'm totally torn here, i've always wanted to build one, i picked this one up with a quick flip in mind for a few $100, i love the aluminum roof and the potential this thing has, if you know anything about me (if you dont just read my posts) you know i can do anything with this trailer all by myself so the ideas are overwhelming, but i do have a nice toy hauler, no real need for a second, either way, i'd love to know more about this one, maybe see the original floor plan

 

[supermanotorious]

Yes I googled all of it, spoke with Zieman Lippert today, all they could say is they made the chassis, not the trailer, I found the holes where the original model and info was mounted to the body but its long gone, Zieman could not tell me what year it was made in

[cadee2c]

Are there gas lines or water lines or drain holes anywhere that might indicate where things were?

 

[supermanotorious]

there is a vent on the roof where i believe the refrig was, looks like most of the interior paneling has been replaced (and needs replaced again), one thing to note if it helps- the entry door is essentially a suicide door when thinking automotive, it opens left hand, is that unique to any manufacturers?

 

[grashley]

Can't help with ID, but it is really cute!  LOVE THE CURTAINS!!

I did a google of old travel trailers with suicide doors and found this. Its close.

 

[supermanotorious]

LOL, I came across that one too using suicide door as a search term, who the hell knows why though, that rig does not have a "suicide door"

 

[cadee2c]

I know, right? There were a couple of old holiday ramblers on there though that had them. But they didnt look anything like yours. Im wondering if the door was a custom job, or a "There I fixed it" thing.

 

[supermanotorious]

I can check for old holes to see if it was done that way, here is a pic of that side though

 

[Lou Schneider]

What's that thing on the back wall?  It looks pretty distincitive, if it's stock a rear end view may help identfying the trailer.

 

[Utclmjmpr]

A real money pit in the rough.>>>Dan

 

[supermanotorious]

the back looks like a custom ramp door, I don't think this was an option back then

and yeah, i reckon if you cant weld, cant out negotiate the devil, dont know where to find reclaimed RV parts, and aren't handy with your tools, this would be a money pit
