1955 Flying Cloud
Looked at one the other day which was mostly original but not sure on some items. It had a vintage wet bath/shower but no obvious water heater or black tank. Also no obvious fresh water tank, water pump or battery.
Does anyone know:
1. Did these trailers have fresh water and/or waste tanks?
2. Did these trailers have water heaters?
3. What sort of shore power hookup did they have?
Very cool vintage trailer but lacks some functionality that I need...

BambiTex,
1. No tanks at all.
2. Yes, under the sink (at least in my 54 Cruiser)
3. 110 Volt (from the TV - 12 volt for lights)

So kind of a "park model" setup.
There was something under the rear bed that I at first thought might be a water heater but there was no vent to the outside. In fact, other than the heater and fridge I saw no openings in the shell wall that looked like vents.
There was a male plug inside a cover that I think connected to a standard extension cord. Is this the "shore power". If so, I imagine it is only 15 amps - not enough for A/C, micro, etc...

Tex, this is all mine had, with a single ceramic 15A fuse, that went between the external plug and the 110V outlets. After taking mine apart, I would be very leary of the original wiring regardless of your draw. Pretty rough shape after 60 years.

Turns out it is 30 amp service. Four 15 amp branch circuits protected by glass fuses. Works ok so far...

Upgraded shore power fitting to modern type but internal wiring in amazingly good condition.

Electric water heater (3 gallon!) is non functional. Replacing with a 6 gallon electric. Prefer LP but not crazy about cutting holes in the shell.
