Help please! Can you identify this camper?

I am buying this camper from a friend who has no idea of the model, supposedly it's a 76 golden nugget but I can find no information online for such a model. It needs work so I kinda need to have accurate information before I start tinkering. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Wow that looks exactly like the one I bought I think you nailed it! It would be nice to get a easy peasy diagram or what have you. ..this is my first one and really didn't want to learn as I go on it but I guess hands on is the best way anyway huh? Thanks a TON..I'm sure this info will get me pointed in the right direction at least. Oh also, it's a cathedral ceiling with a homemade bunk bed back there. I plan on taking that out sense it's just my wife and I with our 2 dogs hopefully it gives me a little more room.
Thanks again! !

You most likely are not going to find any schematics. Heck most of us with new and newer RV's find out how things are wired by opening up the light fixtures and even then they are not always wired correctly.

All RV's are about the same how they are plumbed and wired and have been for years. I wouldn't hold your breath for an easy peasy diagram. :W

The other suggsetion is to do a search on what the other forum members think the name of your TT is and join one of their clubs. There are a ton of vintage travel trailer forums. They would be able to assist you better in some of the things they came across when restoring them.

Start here: https://tincantourists.com/blog/

This is the mega site for vintage trailers. Dig around and you will find a comprehensive list of all the older TT's and the forums for each. Posting your picture on one of these forums will get you more experienced answers to your questions on the name of your TT and rebuilds.

BTW: Your TT looks 'real nice'. The outside looks to be in real good condition. Is that a sky box on the end? Or a cathedral ceiling for the bedroom! :B

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Followed your photo back to source, the only makes that come to mind with a raised top are the Serro Scotty trunkback (Hiback) trailers right now. The color scheme would work for the Bell or the Serro Scotty as well. If nothing else I enjoyed looking at images of vintage trailers for a long time today. Some of them are so stylish it makes me wonder why no one has went back to producing them. Some are just stunning in shape and scream style.

I checked the source code on this web page and found the link.

The color scheme matches a 1979 - 1980 Prowler. But I haven't been able to find any Prowlers with the raised roof in he rear. Still searching though.

Bell Golden Nugget travel trailer. What kind of information are you seeking? If your looking for schematics and drawings you may not be able to find any. If you're just looking for photos and general information Google returned 81,000 hits for the Bell Golden Nugget travel trailer
