Vanessa, give Scott Scheuermann credit for that one. I know you would love your coach to be a Panorama model, and I would also feel better if it was a Panorama model. Send me the exact serial # and the year, (isn't yours a Calif coach?) name of plant and I'll tell you what it is. Also, twin beds?.......tandem axles?.......Dutchman's cap, 9 segment rear? We will nail this thing down so you can sleep easy. The Panorama and the Romany models had special serial numbers. Bill Scott 61 Bambi
Bill , thank you so much for helping me clear up this subject. My trailer came with an electric water heater, no water tank but a toilet holding tank and a gas fridge. So I didn't know if it was a modern term park model or what. I have an old trailering book from the late fifties and they did not have the term park models back then. As you said they would dig a pit, put a block of ice in the a/c fridges that had a shelf with a drain, carry a 5 gal jug with a spicket and be on their merry way. P.S. Do you know why my trailer has so many windows, was it a possible Panorama model or a custom job? They are obviously factory installed, not some later put in job.
