Coachman Cadet 19 1/2' 1976, 77 or 78

Question

Bought a late 70's Coachman Cadet, not sure of what year yet, waiting for PO to find the title. Cannot find the VIN/SN on the tongue. Here are the 1st photos:The outside - Click For Full-Size Image.Click For Full-Size Image.Click For Full-Size Image.The inside - Caution, not for the faint of heart!Click For Full-Size Image.Click For Full-Size Image.Click For Full-Size Image.Click For Full-Size Image.Click For Full-Size Image.Click For Full-Size Image.Click For Full-Size Image.Click For Full-Size Image.There are at least 4 large soft spots in the floor due to age, 1 broken window and the skylight dome broken. Plans are to completely gut it, replace the floor, walls and ceiling. Hopefully there is not much damage to the framing of the walls and ceiling. Will keep you updated!

From the look of that ceiling, you are going to be building a whole new trailer. For a VIN, look at the frame rails in the front, especially on the inside of the frame. Paint may be covering the number.

Make sure you keep that pink roll of toilet paper.  :) That's classic.

if the vehicle frame isn't rotten that will make a fine utility trailer once you get the rotten camper off and build a box. is that seriously the best "fixer upper" you could find? I saved an old beast and its rough and I can appreciate being ok with something that is not pristine anymore (look at my sig) but that thing is gone IMO

I hope you are planning to gut and rebuild. Otherwise, gut and turn it into a storage shed.
