Hello Grant;

My Father bought this trailer in 1963 in a used trailer lot in Southern California. There was another with a brass plaque showing the Pabst family name on it in the same lot.

My family camped cross-country in the trailer when I was young - four kids and Mom and Dad. This is when these pictures were taken.

I have inherited the trailer, and am slowly getting it together to use with my family. I will be pulling it from Colorado to Maine this month.

My title says that it is a 1936 Bowlus, #361x. I am not certain if the number is correct, and I cannot at this time verify because there are no numbers apparent on the trailer.

I will be trying to stop in and visit Gar Williams on my way out. He said he would help me find the number on the front hitch. I'll keep you posted . . .
