Did you take a magnifier to that first picture, or try edge enhancement on the scan? Looks like "Discovery" on my screen. That could be the model, or it could be the name of the manufacturer. There were hundreds of manufacturers around the U.S. in the 1950s and 60s, many selling only regionally or locally.
Other manufacturers have used that name since, most notably Fleetwood for a line of motorhomes, SunLite in the 1990s, NuWa for one of their Hitchhiker models. Yours is none of those.
We bought a Corsair in 1961, I don't know that the company survived the RV industry collapse following the early '70s oil embargo, but the brand name was still around in the '80s, being used by a different manufacturer. Discovery is a much more suitable name for a RV, more companies will have used it, so expect some false trails as you try to track it down.
I would look first at manufacturers who were building in the southeast in the 1950s and 60s.
