Same thing with my 1968 directory. I have run across it several times in the past.

The 68 directory lists Oscar and Gladvs Hurd from Waterloo IA as the owners of that number, but there is no guarantee that this is their trailer, as that number may have been reassigned a number of times. There are no national caravans listed.

30403 was not issued till 1977. My 1978 Directory list it as belonging to Bud and Clare Vogt from Feasterville, PA no caravans were listed. They are still listed in the 2005 Directory. They had moved to Orlando. FL but still had not national caravans listed.

My 1968 and 1970 directories list that number to Robert L & Ruth Gossard of South Solon Ohio.
In my 1992-1996 directories it is listed to Brad & Micki Forrester of Lebanon Church Virginia.
No caravans are listed for either owner.

My 1970 directory lists that number to Dr Thomas & Ethel Chattaway of Charleroi PA
It is also listed in directories 1982 to 2002 to Allen & Sophie Carpenter of Brighton MI and a later address in FL.
On a personal note,I saw this membership number at the 1990 Int'l rally in Notre Dame IN.

Hi
Here is what I found for 18881
My 1968 and 1970 directories list that number to James E & Pat Brooks of Chatham,ON
No caravans
The number does not appear in my 1982-1993 directories
In my 1994-1999 directories it is listed to John F & Doris Hollis of Funkstown MD
No caravans
Hope this helps

That's awesome , thanks! I think the 94-99 is a different trailer . It's seems like our globetrotter has always been in Canada, mostly ontario . I actually have all the receipts for work done on it since 98.
I love all the history with the trailers and the member numbers!

New to the forum and greatly appreciate the wealth of knowledge everyone has here. My '71 Tradewind has the number 7004. If anyone has a record of the owner of that number let me know. Thanks in advance.

7004
My 1973 directory lists Leslie & Alice Meredith from Indianapolis owned that number. If they bought the trailer new and joined the club immediately, they are the likely owners. If someone bought the unit in the 80's and put the number on, this data is likely wrong as that number has been reassigned a number of times.

71 Tradewind
After looking very closely there is a trace of another number that is extremely faint. It says 6059. Can you check that one also? The 7004 is much more prominent and is the same on the front and back.

6059
6059 in 1973 was owned by Emil and Jeanne Frey from San Jose, CA. He had a ham code behind his name.
