I've seen that pronounced 'eyebrow' on the front before, but I can't recall who made it. Hmmmm.....

I trust you got a good deal on it. How's the condition? I see the door appears kind of saggy in the photo.

I agree. Herschel did you look at all 19 pictures from the link Tom provided?
They contain lots of details of the interior, components and various tags on the trailer. How does the green tag to the left of the door handle on yours compare to the one in the link to the one that Tom provided?

What does the Title or Transfer of Ownership Document say it is? Without that document you will never get insurance or licence plates. Why do people keep buying without TOD's?
Awesome looking trailer BTW

I am going for total restoration , the inside is solid but needs paint,fabric, and updating outside a little fiberglass work , I am going to take a close look at the axle and frame today , yes it doze have title , it list it as homemade using the serial number off the tongue , this is done often in Arkansas on older trailers , I think it is a 1972 .

well as far as I can tell the white pipe is an escape hatch for when you achieve a speed of in excess of warp 6 the smaller trail mites cant stand the noise and whine of the rockets . so they bail in search of Dilithium crystals. so they can achieve warp 7 next time .. or I have no idea.

Trailmite, no question. The "eyebrow" and the belly band that forms into the tail-light mounts are unique to this brand.They were built in Costa Mesa, CA. 1971-72.
We've had ours since 2006.
Keep an eye on the tongue, they were way underbuilt. Our about go torn off by a Kansas backroad dip. We've since replaced it with much stouter stock. The suspension is odd too -- a swingarm axle with a pair of what are best described as half leaf-springs. I replaced the whole shebang with a new axle (with brakes) and full size leaf-springs and raised the travel by a few inches to handle the dirt roads we tend to frequent.
