Question If I give you the VIN number...

What do you think you can tell me about an AS TT?

Just curious to know if it's what I think it is. The current owner seems to know enough about trailers, but I'm slightly confused on how long a TT this is.

I've seen threads where an experienced poster could tell the maiden name of the great-aunt of the OP.

What tale does this one tell?

VIN 1STGEAJ21KJ506571

thanks,
Aage

Oops, downloading software and my computer decided to reboot in the middle of my answer but it looks like Richard got it for you...albeit only a partial answer...the aunts name was Mary Lou R***** (last name blocked for privacy purposes)

Here's a link to decoding the newer ones:

and pre-1980 here:

Wow, that's great! Thanks azflycaster. The centre bath in this one has the sink, stool, and shower cab all in the same "room", correct? Or is it one of those that split the shower off to the other side of the hall? EDIT: No wait, I see by the PDF that "G" is centre bath, roadside. "J" is split.

What about this one?

JO245156

From the pictures, it looks like a 65 TradeWind with double axles.
But what about the O behind the J?
