1951 Flying Cloud History

1951 Flying Cloud 21′
California | 7NNN (~7031 to ~7200)
(pipe-frame chassis early, 3″ box-beam chassis late)
Later in the year the ladder-frame chassis replaces the pipe-frame. One school of thought is that the pipe-framed trailers were made at the 1755 No. Main Street facility, with production of the newer chassis starting up at the 12804 Firestone St. factory.

Information thanks to Vintage Airstream's web sight.

We have acquired a 1951 Flying Cloud #7062, I need some help in identifying the floor plan.

Door has hinges on the right. Double door
Single rear tail light
No rear storage compartment
Goucho couch/bed, in front with pull up table under window drivers side.
Kitchen cabinet/sink, drivers side with small frig, next to pull up table on drivers side.
double bed, driver side center of trailer. Power control box, over head of bed.
REAR turquoise bathroom. Driver side the Turquoise tub, is divided by wall and bed is on the other side.
Toilet, is in the curve of the wall with a storage door opens to who know where. Rectangle Window, rear the a small sink, on passenger side. This turquoise color and the turquoise multi color stripe finish matches that which is in a 1967 Airstream. The layout is also the same as the 1967 except the sink/cabinet is smaller. (This trailer was made in California and the owner came to Oklahoma, maybe it was a custom make or a remodel)
Middle of trailer curb side built in dresser with 6 drawers next to the dresser over the fender well if the closet with double slide door.
Next to the closet if the copper tone, three burner (square) Oven/stove. Then the side door. I am assuming that is a replacement at coppertone was in the 60's The Frig is also coppertone.

I will try and sketch the floor plan and figure out how to post.

My questions: Does anyone have or was there an owners Manuel? When did the door opening change sides. I know they went to two tail light after 1951. I would love any feedback anyone has on the 1951. This baby has been used as a storage shed for the past 20 years. She is going to be a total gut job. I'm all for keeping as original as possible but may require new wood. I like the lay out and the bathroom is a keeper. But I find no layouts on the internet to match this poor girl.

We have a 1969 Sovereign and took us 3 years to refurbish her. She is beautiful. I sanded and stained all the wood. Repair back bathroom floor and dropsy of the back frame and much much more. That being said we are up for the challenge of getting this girl back on the road.
