1984 Nomad Travel Trailer 20ft

I recently purchased this travel trailer to restore and stay at a trailer park for a while. I'm currently trying to determine the correct rims and tires to get for it. The people I got it from had very wrong tires on it and they didn't even know it, so of course they all blew out. I can't find anything online that tells me what weight my trailer is either.

I am very new to this and would appreciate any help. If more information is needed, please ask and I will do my best to answer. Thanks!

Many times there is a sticker or foil label with the trailer VIN number on it that also specifies the tire size.

Otherwise, you will have to make some educated guesses. My first guess is that the tires were very old and this may have been the primary cause of the failures.

A 1994 Nomad 21 ft (closest specs I could find HERE is the Brochure) is close to 5000 lbs gross weight and had 175/80-13B tires. Personally I would want as large as I could fit under it if you intend to actually tow this rig.

Many times these older trailers had a sticker on the inside door of a kitchen cabinet. Look for that.
