Welcome to the fraternity of Silver Streak owners.  Only a few
thousand Silver Streaks were ever built.  Silver Streaks along with
Streamlines were extremely well built and contained high quality
components. (except for the @&*@$#@* Pot Metal Hinges on the
1970's-1980's models).  Silver Streaks were quite expensive and
considered a "High End" item.  I don't know the exact numbers, but I
have been told that only a few hundred a year were built.  

If you go the Tom Patterson's web site and look under the various
headings, he has a number of old manuals that can be down loaded.
What I did was down load the manuals, diagrams, etc. then printed them
out on a Photo Printer using Photo Paper.  I then sprayed them with
Krylon Clear to protect them.

I have noted a renewed interest in Silver Streak and Streamline
trailers.  The prices of fully functional trailers, of all year
models, seem to be increasing, and should continue to increase over
the years.

Enjoy your great travel trailer, have fun.

Ralph

Hello, my name is Lorrie Rogers, I live in Revelstoke, British
Columbia.
I recently purchased a  1969 28' Silver Streak Rocket that my husband
and I
are restoring.
I had never heard of a Silver Streak until I Googled it. I believe
they are
somewhat rare in this part of the world.
It was stored at a mobile home park close to where I live and I would
drive
buy it often and became more and more curious of it. I located the
owner and
aked if he would sell it.
There was something about it, I had to have it.
I certainly know more now, but have lot's to learn.
If anyone has any information or literature as in manuals or original
brochures of this anniversary model it would be as interesting and
helpful as
appreciated.
Thank you, Lorrie.
