Found a teardrop trailer... maybe.

[thejafe]

Hey guys, this might be total junk, or a great find. I'm not sure so help me out here :snorkel: .

I have no experience with teardrop trailers but my brother-in-law got his hands on one that was used as a display piece in an Old Navy store. It's identical to the one shown in the pic below. Might be hard to tell from that shot but does anyone know anything about this particular model? To the best of my knowledge it's a fully functioning trailer, not just a store display piece :sombrero: .

I should have some close-up shots posted later on. Either way, I'm trying to figure out what we should do with it. Build it up? Sell it? Build it up THEN sell it?

Looks like a great start to me!

Unfinished inside? If so the possibilities are endless.
The basic body is built so run with it.

Post more pictures when you take them.
I like it!

Contact Scott at Little Guy Trailers and see if they built it. They build quite a few promotional type things like that.

Hopefully it's not made of cardboard

From the shape it could be a Little Guy, I don't think I've ever seen one of them with an aluminum skin, though. Still, as long as it's watertight, it would be a great start. Depending on how much $$ it is, I would say it could be a good buy. Since it was a store display, I'm assuming the electrical probably doesn't work but there are very inexpensive fixes for that. \

Little Guy uses a fake aluminum; that's what's on my roof and hatch.
They also do some pretty cool skins and custom coverings.

It looks like a Silver Shadow except for the door.

I sent a picture to Little Guy and Scott's checking it out.

Edit: Officially not a Little Guy but Scott called it "pretty cool"

It does indeed but why can't I seem to find any info on "American Travel Lyte" anywhere online? Even tried plugging in their address to google without much luck.
