[VAL] What was it?

Greetings All:
    We're back from Yellowstone after 2 weeks of bears and elk and bison 
and in pursuit of the mythical trout of the Madison River - fish 2 vs 
Jo Ann 1. On the trip home we came down part of Hwy 101 and saw a neat 
old Airstream that I can't identify.
    Specs:  about 15 or less feet in length - it was shorter than my 
Bubble.
     			Rear window in two(?) sections, one atop the other
			From the rear, it had 6 slices/panels on either side of the center 
panel which didn't appear to me to have the Dutchman's cap look.
			I never did get a look at the curb side although I tried so many 
driving maneuvers to see it that I thought my husband might leap from 
the car! The rear end looked as though the bottom panel had been 
replaced with new aluminum and the rivets ran down to the banana peel 
almost in a line either side of the rear window but I'm almost positive 
that was not an original part of the trailer. The door was on the curb 
side. The roof looked as though it had been painted white at some time 
and the paint removed by a sander or drill sander that left pretty 
obvious swirl patterns. The license plate was an old California plate, 
black with yellow numerals and writing. Anybody have an idea on what it 
was?

p.s. It was traveling south on 101 from around Paso Robles to San Luis 
Obispo where we exited.
