Brad Norgaard:
Review of Photographs.
To answer your questions.
1. The serial number is # 6782 I don't know the
Model name.
2. The piece of metal that is welded to the bottom of
the frame members that make the "Hitch Triangle"
is about 1 1/4" thick in its entirety. (from front
to back and from side to side. It covers the
complete underside of the Hitch triangle.It is not
channel iron. I think that it is the main body of
the equalizer hitch.
3. Yes you are likely right about the "tail wheels"
being there to acomodate the large home made
holding tank. At this time I have no idea the tank
is for Grey or Black water. Was there a "Standard"
holding tank for this trailer?
4. Regarding the tears in the belly pan: They are
along the frame members. The additional iron
welded under the "Hitch Triangle" stops prior to
the belly pan. Where the two "formers" protrude
thru the belly pan is no where near any
modifications.
