Hi! Thank you SO much for posting for me, skipro3!! I thought I'd jump in with what I have... The registration lists the number found on the tongue. I have scoured the thing - there are no other numbers anywhere - not on door frames, inside cabinets, windows, rims, taillights or frame. The appraiser came out today and did the same search I did to no avail. DMV registration lists it as a "special trailer" code for Make, no model and the year as 2016. Super helpful, I know.... ;) I have gotten word back from a couple of repair shops in CA and one said Mercury, one said Westerner and I found a Craigslist ad today that looks super similar - a Lancaster. Again, they're not perfect, mine doesn't have a small window above where the bed used to be, so it's hard to match them up. The closest is a Westerner - I've only been able to find pics of '56, so maybe it's a '53 or something. All I'm asking of insurance is to give me enough to cover buying a new one in the same condition as this one, same shape and within a few hours of my house. I got a smokin' deal so I refuse to let them use what I paid as a value marker - what if I had gotten it from my parents for a dollar? What I paid isn't relevant and I won't let them take advantage of that. I want to replace it, not repair it (I hear that's about $8k just to repair the damage the lady did.) I also don't want to wait 2 years like I did for this one. I appreciate all the feedback - it's really helpful!!!!
