Re: [VAC] Tail lights



Vanessa,
As Bill Scott will probably tell you, we find that there aren't really
too many sharp cutoff dates for accessories and furnishings and STUFF. 
I just sold a 55 that had the GLASS rectangular lenses.  I have a 58
traveler with the bargman no. 9. This is a smaller round unit than the
99 wedding cake one and can be seen on the 56 57 and 58 and possibly
some 55 models.   What is obvious is that they used up the stock on
hand, probably putting  the newer "cooler" updated items on the more
expensive trailers and using the older stock on Safaris and other less
"deluxe" models.  Transition years can be confusing to those of us
trying to find a model name.  That's why everyone's input with
information on their units is so important.  Even if we are doing an
update with materials available today, most would like a version that
bears some relation to the original, though with tail lights all the
early versions could use help in the brightness and visibility area.
