Usually serial or VIN numbers are located on the frame toward the front, sometimes on a plate, sometimes stamped in to the frame, sometimes on the inside of the frame rail. Repainting by previous owners may have covered it, look closely. Sometimes there may be a sticker inside a cabinet or storage compartment door.

Procedures and options for getting a new title and/or registering the trailer will vary widely depending on your state. A call to the DMV may help.

A Google search for vintage trailer forums may lead to more information.

If you have no title how are you going to register and get license plates for it ??

Glendale was a Canadian RV manufacturer who went bankrupt in 2011. The Golden Falcon trailer was considered a fairly high end product and a good comfortable trailer with some fairly unique features for its' time. One was the recessed awning into the side of the trailer.
They also came with gel gloss hung fiberglass sides and both front and rear FG end caps.

Here is a link to an advertisement for one that I believe is quite old and not available anymore. It will show you how the exterior and interior was arranged and what the walls etc. looked like. Hope this helps you out a bit. If the rig has not had much water damage, it is probably worth spending some time on - IMO.

Yep, and they do it with wingnuts on the wires, and wingnuts running the wires too.

Floor plan won't tell you where the wires go.

What kind of problems are you having?

Not sure what good a floor plan does you for a RV you already own.

Wiring diagrams are pretty much non existent for RVs. Most RV manufacturers don't believe in documenting their work.

These vintage trailers (even most new ones) don't have any schematics available. As you go back in age, there are less circuits to deal with. My '71 Starcraft had two 120V circuits and a connection to an add-on converter. The 12V circuit powered lights, furnace, and fridge. All exterior lights were led forward to the tongue.

Regarding the Yellowstone or the Falcon?

there is no title when i got it. it was bought by my dad and he never got the title . he gave me the trailer. as for being gutted , no its not. just the toilet removed . and i already have another replacement for that along with plumbing. i wanted the floor plan to see where the wires are all located. by the way my serial number looks it might be a 1981 ? st813042?

Is there a date on the title or registration?
Probably never were any wiring diagrams available.
Is it gutted? If so, you can have any floor plan you want.
