My Dad built these in the 50's & 60's. my Dad and the shop are gone and just wanted a piece of his history. ( I don't have much money.)

Barbara, those old travel trailers were made of wood and foam boards back then. They did not last very long in the northeast part of the country due to the weather we encounter. I would suggest that you do some research out west looking for camping and trailer manufacturing and supply companies that may have some suggestions on where to look. The dry weather out west kept these old style trailers longer. But I am afraid your quest will be difficult. Perhaps Craigslist list out west may help. Good luck on your quest.

I am sorry, my father owned Rosscraft Co. And his were real plywood and paneling. That is why I am looking. Saw on in Canada in the 80's.

We have a lot of travel trailer dealers in my area because of the Northerners that come down for winter AKA Winter Texans. You can try looking up some of them, Location is Donna, Weslaco, Mission and Harlingen Texas. i am from Mission. Good luck and I hope you find what you are looking for!!

I wish I was down there, but I'm at the address they were made, taking care of my 84 year old Mother. Dad passed in 1989. My house in Georgia. So I really miss the south.

@30 results are available, use up and down arrow keys to navigate.BARBARA GYou can use a feature on CRAIGSLIST to search nationally---I am not positive how to do this but I think there is a link to it on the upper LEFT hand side as you look at the page---there is also something there for VIEWS which will show you the thumbnails of ads with pictures. This way you can see ALL of the ones that are or have been on Craigs. There are also some Forums of people who collect and restore these; probably well worth getting in touch with these as their members are fanatics and can probably help you. Also don't for get eBay! The Tiny House web site and owners might have info to guide you also---good luck! For any of this--GOOGLE is your friend!

@BARBARA G----I didn't find much when looking for this brand but you can prob search Facebook--I am not that familiar with it but will ask my kids! The TINY HOUSE site has many small trailer fans on it and the person who runs it is SUPER nice and WILL get back to you via email---just go there and use the CONTACT link. They often write about people using or re-building these sort of things and people are very generous with info. Another source might be TRAILER LIFE magazine---more a sales publication for new machines but they do sometimes have older ones featured---facebook.com/TrailerLifeMagazine or maybe they can direct you! Where these made here in NY State?
