There's an old saying: "an Okie doesn't own a thing he wouldn't sell".
And generally I believe that to be true. Some Okies take the art of "selling" to a higher level like a science. They take into consideration demographics and specific market targets.

For example: If you can't unload a rusted out old stock trailer, try a different and focused target market and rebrand your item...

I bet it's gone by tomorrow. :pinch:

That's almost a twin to the "motorcycle" trailer I had stolen a couple of years ago. Well, except mine had a complete top on it and a couple one by fours sealing off a couple of the longitudinal gaps. Come to think of it, mine might have had a few more dings in it. Oh, and there never was a motorcycle in it while I owned it.

The one in your pic was almost definitely manufactured by Blair Trailers.

If that doesn't work, what would be the most probable next iteration? "Air-cooled Travel Trailer" or "Taco Wagon, Ready for Updating"?

It has a lot of "potential."

"Project trailer."

I have a bunch of projects in the queue around here. Some have been in the queue for a decade or more. I expect that more than a few will still be in the queue long after I'm gone, but I like to think that some day I'll get around to them. My wife is less optimistic.

Hmm...I see a possible Mardi Gras float on the making.
