Need help identifying old popup camper remains

[depatty]

I'm trying to figure out just what this thing used to be. Should have taken pix before tearing it down but hindsight IS 20/20.

The main body was about 10' long and just over 6' wide. From hitch to rear bumper is about 14'.

The 1985 tag receipt I found the other day shows it to be a 1974 “Harm” model 7ft (???). The Duo-Therm heater paper work (that I found with the tag receipt) was printed 5/66 and the water tank has a date stamp of Oct 66. No serial # on the frame that I can find and if there were tags anywhere else on the body I can’t find them either. The serial # that is on the tag receipt is a mystery. The tag receipt has my signature on it so I must have either had one at the time or made something up but since that was 22 years ago I have NO idea.

Couple of questions here.
1 - Can anyone help me get any closer to identifying what it actually was?
And 2 - Should I just go down with the old tag receipt and tell them I want a new tag, that it's been in "storage" for 22 years and I have done a "bit" of repair to it and want to put it back on the road, or what?

Depending on your state laws:
Tell them you junked it and tore it apart. Now you want to use it as some kind of utility trailer.

Tell them you forgot it and had an enlightening moment.

If the fees are too high for not keeping up the tag---(most states have a max and is based on a percent of what the fee would have been.

Good luck

not a specialist in tent trailer, not the most popular and convenient to restore, but will try to help you since that back piece is a big hint.

really like your rig on your site, the roof is really untypical of anything made our days but is probably one of the best line to have regarding rainflow, love your back porch overhang, simple and so usefull, your turkey rig reminds me a cross bread of a vintage airstream with a caboose of the far-west era.

really neat, you've put lots of effort in there go reward yourself in a journey to next valley, or the next, or the next...

have a cold one on me, you gave me ideas, thanks.

Thanks for the ideas!

As far as I know there isn't a fee/fine for not keeping up a tag here in Alabama if it hasn't been on the road. At most I have paid one years tag cost when buying a utility trailer that wasn't tagged, but I have owned this one all these years, it just hasn't been on the road/used.

One trip in that leaky, smelly, uncomfortable thing back in 85 convinced me that that popup wasn't my cup o tea, and I parked it. Then got to cleaning up the junkyard last month (only 12 or so more cars to go bye-bye and I am done) and decided to see how much was left and here I am. Tired and sore, but getting closer to camping in the dry every day!
