Anyone have any history and this cute little travel trailer? I'm also wondering if it's possible to repair the toe hitch. The tip of it has been broken off and I want to get it restored. I did notice the bottom plate is all one piece. Was curious if perhaps its better to try and replace the entire bottom plate... Just wanting some info from a collecting expert! Thanks!
