Ummm......well, I didn't really think you needed a hint or a boot or another project right now. :roll:
Life has got in the way, and other old projects are currently taking my ever decreasing free time. I will return to this project someday.

I had an early 70's popup, don't remember the brand, pretty sure it wasn't a coleman, but the vin and gvw, etc was on a sticker either on the door or on the wall just inside the door.
If I could shut my brain off, I could save myself alot of time, money and effort.

Found the one on the door (saved it somewhere), but if it had one on the frame... could stamp it on I suppose.

Life has got in the way, I am still here. I am almost done with a carport I am going to store the jelly belly in, and free up my work space.

Hey, I'll be right over with the wife. She just became a Mary Kay distributor. P.S. Her sister who signed her up lives in Fairbanks!

:rofl: :cigar:

Just kidding!

Looking forward to your photos when you have some. Take care.

Many people have used an old tent trailer frame, you may need to move the axle back. The nice thing is it came with paper work so I can licensed it.

Del,

I've got it!

Make it a display trailer for swap meets. You can sell Mary Kay out of it!

Hey Del!
You are getting worse about drive byes than me. And that is saying something.

Then again if you do this I may have to build the 47 Maury Island. Hm....
