We just purchased on old travel trailer and I wanted to try and find out the year and make. The previous owner had painted the outside. The inside has all the original features. The bedroom is all varnished wood and is rounded up to the ceiling from the wall starting at about five feet from the floor. There is a scalloped cornise that goes across from one side to the other creating an "alcove" where the head of the bed fits in. The closets on each side have a place to hang clothes then the bottom half has drawers. The bathroom has a small full bathtub/shower, linen closet, all wood veneer. The tub surround has a coral color pattern. The kitchen has a small double sink and varnished wood pine cabinets. The counter tops are a red color (faded) with black and white speckled pattern and the edges are metal with a red plastic insert that goes around the countertops. The livingroom area is large and has two closed cabinets at each side of the front up by the ceiling with an open cabinet in the middle. All trimmed out in the scallop pattern. The livingroom windows have cornises in a scalloped pattern and they feel like plastic, not wood. The windows in the livingroom area are glass louvered, two in the front and two together on the left side. The other side has louvered window, door and another louvered window. All the other window are a two or three layer that pop out with a lever type. The size is 9 x 30. I can get some pictures together, but in the meantime, does anyone recognize any of these features?

I am not familiar with the rig you described, but I'd suggest taking a stroll through the Vintage TT portion of TTs as there are a lot of photos posted there and you may see something that is either the rig you have or something very similar. Here's a link:

it might be hard to answer your question if you posted pictures with the question, but I would guess it is almost impossible without them...

Look inside the cabinet doors in the TT. There should be a sticker or plate with the info you are looking for.

That sticker/plate is RVIA required data. It didn't exist prior to 1996.

What HE said! I can describe a 1962 automobile to you, and you could not say if it is ford, chevy or dodge.
