Sold in Phoenix some 5 + years ago.

Used mostly to go to Mexico.
Installed new roof top AC. Repaired water supply system. Replaced all foam in cushions. Replaced a lot of small parts for windows and cabinets.

Pictures taken of trailer were done on a trip to four corners.

I had a 66 Trade Wind. Just 2' shorter. Had a smaller galley and living room. Bed and bath were the same I believe. I completed a lot of work on the Trade Wind.

Now a 75 Overlander. I find the 75 well built even with its faults.

If I had it to do again I would have bought a Trade Wind. The Overlander was too long. However at that time my mind went to bigger is better.

And I think '66 is nearly the best year.
One of the last years for vertical shock absorbers
Wider body than '65
Curved side glass (Made by Corning) versus the multi- piece glass
Improved window cranks
Lighter to pull than '69 or later versions of the same length
