Found a Vancouver brochure for 1986 all the way in the back under the couch.. Could you check that year?
And I promise I will stop bugging you! ;-)
Spoke with the sales guy that sold it in 2008 to our PO and he said that couple that has it (now deceased) had a very old title and that they had been using it as a cabin by the river in their property for sometime..
Maybe got to a point that they didn't want to travel anymore?
It makes me sad to think that we may not be able to find much about its history..
Thanks again!
Mary

I bought several WBCC directories off E-Bay and found 12477 listed in a few. In '71 the number was assigned to Yates, Arnold and Martha of Palmetto, Fla. It had been on three tours in Canada. In '72 they had moved to Sarasota. In '73 they were living in Mesa, AZ. In '74, still in Mesa, they added N-2 the National Big Sky Bonanza Post-Int'l Rally Caravans of 1973. I don't have another national directory until '79 and by then both 12477 and The Yates' had disappeared. I have no way of knowing if this was my Airstream or not. From what I was told, mine came from Arkansas and there's a service sticker in one of the cabinets from Virginia.

3771 has been issued to many people over the years. In1964 - Sandbote, Iiams from Charlette Harbor in '74, Buettner in 1990 and Robertson in 2004. Without roughly the year the numbers were put on the trailer, we can not tell who was the owner of your trailer.

Hiya,
When you have time could you please look up 11202... It's on my Dad's 59' Tradewind. I would love to be able to tell him some piece of history on his trailer... Even if it's just a name.
Thank you!

11202 was not issued until 1966. Your '59 could have been owned by someone else before 1966, but in 1966 Charles and BEA Boxwell from Brunswick N.J. were assigned that number. No caravans were listed. In 1974, 11202 was assigned to Glen and Doris Hayes from Oak Grove, KY. no caravans listed. We really can not be sure who really owned the trailer you have.

I appreciate the lookup on my AS but can someone check 2653 again. I have some new info. First, it was purchased from a dealer in Palm Beach, FL ,Feb 6, 2007. The poster said it was from California but I am not sure that is correct. The problem is that I do not know when they joined but it was between Feb 2007 and Feb 2012 for sure. The number has been reassigned at this point but I am still curious.

New (1968) Airstream
We just got a 1968 Safari with the number #23439. Can someone help us know the history and previous owners?
Also, I'm documenting the restoration at all in an airstream if you want to follow our journey.

23439 was not created till 1971 and those people dropped out rather quickly. In 1973 to 1987 23439 was assigned to Robert Lane from Dover, NJ It does not seem to be reassigned after 1982. The Lanes would be the most probable owners, but we can not be sure.

Just a little to add to what dwightdi already posted. The last known address for the owner was in Mesa Arizona and there was one caravan listed for them, Mexico in the fall of 1974.

Can someone look up #6184
My 1999 Safari has faded #6184 on it. I purchased it a few years ago from a very nice retired couple near Ashland, Oregon. I think they only had it for a year or so - they unsuccessfully tried to downsize from a giant fifth wheel toy hauler and went back to the dark side after just one trip in the Airstream.
It would be very interesting to see if the original owners are on the forum. It might be fun for them to see what it looks like now - I've done a ton of work.

I have a 1971 Caravanner 25' with a ghost of 887 on it. I bought it north of Chicago. The PO told me he was the second owner, making me only the third owner. Any idea if that's right?
Thanks,
Ken

Thanks! I wondered where our "Eloise" started out!
