I travelled from Whittier California to Eugene Oregon and did not spot even one fiberglass travel trailer. :-(. I did have one lady stop by to tell me she has a 1979 u-haul at home and first time out in Eugene I spotted the pictured rig and tow.

Now that would be unique, as they only made them in 1984 and 1985.

Hum?!? She sounded like she knew what she had. Maybe I experienced a senior moment and misheard.

While Cari and I were traveling home from the NOG event we spotted a cute red honda element towing a color matched small egg...we were traveling northbound on i5 at the woodland washington exit at 3pm and they were traveling southbound. I'm not versed enough to know what trailer it was...except for being real cute with the red color match!

We were out for the last three days.
Didn't see any FG. There were two sticks at the park but the second day we had the park all to ourselves.

Then on the way home my wife spotted a tiny FG in a storage lot. I told her it looked like a Little Joey from the glimpse I got and then when we past the building blocking the view I saw a FG that I couldn't tell even what it might have been. My camera was packed so didn't get a picture. But if I see it the next time I'm in Tulsa, I'll get a picture to see if I even saw it or not.

Hi: All... While in Myrtle Beach S.C. we hit the jackpot...so to speak. 2 Bolers, one Ontario plate one Quebec. One 4500 Trillium. One Eggcamper. One Casita... and a whole bunch of friendly folks enjoying the beautiful State Pk.
We had a rally... and didn't even know it!!!

Wouldn't it be something if it was the same trailer that Thom and Cari saw!

I hope he/they are following this thread...

that looks like what we saw, though the paint might have been a bit more burgundy?

I know, right?! I thought what if they attended last weeks NOG? I truly hate the thought that someone could be so bold. My friend in Seattle was warned to get a lock setup for her brand spanking new 19' Casita last fall, while in that area as thefts were on the rise!

Thieves?........And after my faith in mankind had been semi-restored in another thread.

I did start my camping trek with a double tongue lock. Just in case.

Have a hunch that whoever has the trailer that was stolen assuming it is still in one piece would not bring it to any fiberglass gathering assuming they are aware of its history. The theft of that trailer and the Scamp that vanished with it was pretty widely published here with photos etc and both had a lot of custom work on them (not just the exterior paint job) that would make them stand out a little to much for people not to start asking a lot of questions about where they got the trailer from... even if they had a new paint job.

On the other hand, if the trailers were stolen for resale, it's possible that they're now in the hands of someone unaware of their provenance. We all know how casual folks are about paperwork when it comes to old trailers!

Yup thats why I said "would not bring it to any fiberglass gathering assuming they are aware of its history".

Also pretty sure that if someone did roll into a fiberglass having purchased it without know its history & that several test messages would have gone out within the first hour to the party the trailer was stolen from.
