Re: [VAC] "56" 27' Overlander



Jerry,  according to information I got from Bill Scott, your serial number
would make your trailer a 1957, just like mine ended up converting up
 "1956" O-7350)

I haven't weighed my hitch since I've gutted the thing anyway.  My redesign
will take into account the 10-15% guideline of total trailer weight.

    1956 Overlander 26 feet 0-7116 up
    1957 Overlander 26 feet 0-7200 up
    1958 Overlander 26 feet 0-7550 up

Generally, the original "specs" aren't as important as measuring the weights
for yourself.  Barring extensive amounts of fixtures, the gross dry weight
would be 3500-4000 lbs.

Is your Overlander a tandem axle?  Did you have the electric brakes
installed?  How much?
