Another thing to consider if you are taking the trailer to civilization (where it can be restored or fixed up) is the road back. You descrived it as near impassible with a 4x4,, I can imagine pulling a long trailer thru it.

I don't know whose it is but I guarantee you, it isn't yours.

Before you mess with someone else's property I suggest you find out who owns it and try to buy it. Start with the owner of the real estate it sits on, and take the serial # or license plate # if any and check with the DMV.

You are asking for a load of buckshot in the ass, or an arrest by the police.

I don't care how "abandoned" you think it is, it still isn't yours and it isn't your call.

Did it ever occur to you the owner went to a lot of work and put it up there in hopes he had finally found a place *holes would leave his stuff alone?

I stumbled on to an Argosy in similar conditions a few years ago. It turned out to be a meth lab.

I've been bike riding past an Airstream for a long time and finally stopped to look at it. It's an Overlander serial number 263T191. Can someone please interpret the serial number for me?

As a previous poster made mention of the retaining wall in the backround, It does look like the start of foundation,piling for some type of structure. Could be the builder placed the trailer there on the site while they were building and something happend they couldn't finish?. Just my 2 cents again. Robert

It's a '63 Overlander, center twins, Jackson Center built, #191 off the line.

It is the spitting image of my 1973 Overlander. If you can get it without hassel you need to jump on it. You snooze you will lose it. Just make sure everything is legal.

Agreed.

Given the remote location, how did they get the materials there, possibly concrete, to build that wall? Perhaps the road was once a lot better one.

Nope...it's a '73. It has rounded windows and lacks a door-in-a-door.

Shari, the serial number is identical to our 1963 Overlander, only with one fewer digit for the sequential production number.
A 1973 would have a serial number of I27T3Jxxxx.

InsideOut · 04-14-2009, 01:34 PM

Sorry, I thought you were referring to the trailer in the original thread starter's post. THAT one is clearly post-'69.

Guess you missed the hijacking post 27 .

If the trailer and land in first post does not belong to the person who posted it , WHY are they even snooping around it? Posting sounds like they think

just gave it to them? Like someone said if it is not yours, it is not yours.Keep out.What part of trespassing and stealing do people not under stand any more?

Guess that is why I talk softly and carry a big gun.

Wayne&Sam · 04-14-2009, 03:04 PM

Yes, I'm sorry for hijacking, but it was the most relevant thread I could find and I couldn't figure out which category to use for a new thread.

Thanks Terry.

Are you sure this airstream isn't made out of gingerbread? And you didn't follow a trail of bread crumbs to it?

Me thinks we might have scared this fellow off now and we may never find out the end of the story. I just hope the witch doesn't push them into the oven.
