First issued in 1961, this trailer came in only two color variations, the first is WHITE walls and TURQUOISE windows, roof, awning, base and wheels. The second variation is with these colors reversed as is illustrated to the left. The parts that are a problem with this item are shown below along with information concerning the KING DISTRIBUTING version.

Trailer Roof Vent (Chimney)
This is the part that is always missing from this trailer. It should always be the same color as the walls. There is no reproduction part made.

Trailer Awning
The awning is held on to the right side wall with three pins. These pins are indicated by the arrows. When two of these are broken the awning will not stay in place without the use of glue. Which how it is often found. No replacement is made for this part.

Adhesive Curtains
The Trailer came with a set of adhesive curtains that were applied to the inside windows and door. These are often found peeling away from the walls or they’re missing entirely.

The Problem With Adhesive Curtains
The trailer came with window curtains to be installed on this item. The problem with these curtains is that Bachmann manufactured them so that the adhesive covers one side of the entire window. When these are applied to the inside walls this adhesive attracts dust and debris. After some time they look really bad as is shown in the picture to the left. The trailer was not the only kit in which Bachmann used this type of adhesive curtain. The Split Level House is another example. You would be better off not applying these curtains and the value of the kit would be enhanced if they remained on the original sheet that came with the kit (shown to the right).

The King Mobile Home

In 1984, this kit was the second one manufactured under license from Bachmann by KING DISTRIBUTING. Like all of the kits that they made, they were housed in a heavy corrugated box to protect their contents. The versions issued are listed to the right.
