So we came home with this.
Hi y'all, I am trying to find some info out about this camper trailer. It's a 1967 Alpine 24 foot. That is about all I know on it. I can't even find something like this on google image search. Tha...

Beautiful! Don’t change anything....except that ugly door.
A real ‘67 396 Chevelle?

It looks similar to a kencraft. Is it fiberglass? If so, look them up.

It wasn't until the '70's that most trailer manufacturers started reinforcing the roof for A/C units. It might be kind of difficult to sneak a piece of 3/4" plywood under the metal roof to span the opening to the next joist/rafter.
Lucky for me the inside ceiling has already been taken down. I'll try to post some pictures here of what I have to work with.

Well, that trailer was probably never designed for a roof AC unit, so adding one and not reinforcing the roof structure could cause your issues.
Take the AC unit off or rebuild the entire roof to hold it.. Those AC unit's are heavy and need the proper install to not leak and to support itself.
Love the 67 El Camino and the trailer with the updated interior.
Good luck!

The past owners said there used to be a window unit installed. Being down in Louisiana the AC is a must have.
