I too have a 61 SS that is about 19'6", it doesn't have a model name, but I have seen a 61 brochure that listed it as a Jet. There are Jets in the late 50's a that are the same length. Mine has a rear street side bath and shower and a full size bed on the rear curb side. It had the water heater under the bed, an a/c unit will be taking its place, with a tankless water heater placed beside the fridge, using the same vent as the fridge to vent the heat and carbon monoxide. The pod lights were standard on that model, the fridge is next to the door on the curb side and the kitchen is opposite it on the street side. It has a drop down add a leaf table, and 2 removable divan love seats, that also connect and fold down to make a bed. It is like a studio apartment on wheels. I have replaced the floor and belly pan, added a grey water tank inside the belly. I've also replaced a few of the front panels as they had been peppered w/ rocks over the years. I've upgraded all of the electrical also, most of the hard work is done. I'm keeping the vintage feel while adding all the modern conveniences, although they won't be seen to the naked eye. I've obtained all NOS cabinet hinges and catches, old aluminum bullet light sconces from a house in Palm Springs and what not. I've gotten more involved in this trailer than I ever imagined I would, it has been a lot of fun. Enjoy A.J. ----- Original Message ----- > Hey, it might be neat to see some pics of yours as well.
