CougarTim ◊ 2021-02-06 20:43	Ah, ignore what I said. It's a 1973+ Swinger! Later in the '70s they got corrugated sides but the earliest Swingers were smooth like this one. "Swinger Recreational Vehicles by Action Industries, Inc." "A subsidiary of The Wickes Corporation" This Link to "www.rvwest.com" attributes the Swinger to Dodge, but I think it's more likely it's just a Dodge chassis. They do have a quote from NADA: NADA wrote A recreational vehicle company founded during the 1970s, Swinger produced vacation trailers and motorhomes. After 1976, Swinger production centered on Class A motorhomes spanning from 24 to 34 feet in length. The Swinger relied on the popular and reputable Dodge powertrain in propelling their line of motorhomes. Following the 1984 model year, the Swinger brand was shuttered before Georgie Boy Manufacturing Incorporated reactivated the name in 1992. It sounds like it should be listed with Swinger as the make. We have some old Swingers currently listed under Georgie Boy, but it looks like that's not accurate. We also have a Wickes make.
