Looks like the front, top, and rear are fiberglass, but I've never seen one in person.

Looks like none of it is fiberglass. Looks like the 1964 trailers that my parents had. All aluminum. But the owner needs to let us know. Along with the weight (he says "it's light" but that is an opinion, not a meaningful fact) and tongue weight. Those things are important.

The sides (the only flat parts) are aluminum but the front, top and back are fiberglass. It even has a fiberglass cover on the front window. It's a good example of mixed materials construction that was done by a few manufacturers back in the day. I think it's a neat looking unit. Kencraft was considered top notch in it's day.

This is a great looking camper.

Hi Kai- Sorry for the late reply but we were out of cell service yesterday. Yes, the front, top, back and window cover in the front are all fiberglass. Several people have asked about the weight so my husband is going to try to get it to a public scale this weekend. Not sure he will be able to get the tongue weight. I will keep you posted!

[Little Buddy]

Kai-It looks like I won't be able to provide you with an exact answer, however we pulled some information on a 1969 Kencraft that is similar in size. It looks like the weight would be approximately 2300 lbs and the tongue weight would be approximately 300. I hope that helps

Hi, yes, it does, thanks! Lovely trailer. Beautifully kept.
