This is the SAN GABRIEL 15 model built by WESTATES Trailer Distributing Co. (formerly) 8733 E. Garvey Ave., South San Gabriel, CA. This was their smallest unit.
This blog is designed to catalog the restoration of the worlds coolest vintage travel trailer. I found this trailer in early 2008 and I have had big plans for its resurection ever since. I hope this blog will give me motivation for the undertaking of this project. Wish me luck.
hello Mitch, am about to start restoring a san gabriel 1953 14 foot vintage trailer. Has been in my wife's family since 1953. The outside measurement of the chasis is 12 feet + 1/2 inch and the hitch is 28 inches making the over-all length 14 feet 2-1/2 inches. The door has a rectangluar window instead of a round porthole and a tear-drop shaped wheel relief. The body is also a little more rounded. send me your e-mail and i will send you a picture. wuzawizard@sbcglobal.net
Do you have a picture of the San Gabriel Logo ? I have a 1955 and I am looking to restore it. The area where my logo is at, looks like a chevy bow tie outline. Can you help me out ?
