Have you looked at
popupcamperhistory.com?
Information about known manufacturers (I didn’t see Del-Mar inc.), links to old magazines, and links to other clubs, forums, etc.
Hope this helps,

You might also want to consult the Chamber of Commerce or the library or historical society of Alliance, Nebraska. I used similar sources on my research into the Sears single-wheel trailers, and they were very helpful.

I don’t don’t know how much you’re going to find out about your Del-Mar camping tent trailer, but here are a couple leads.
A news article from April 1961, here:
https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/43550865/ It’s possible they were going to make them for the army? I didn’t “start a free trial” so I couldn’t view the whole article.
Interesting reading about the company and business dealings here:
https://www.sec.gov/news/digest/1962/dig112862.pdf and here:
https://www.sec.gov/news/digest/1963/dig061363.pdf
Now, what I really need to do is figure out where my bus is shorting out. Something is fried, and I’m procrastinating because I think it’s bad. Very, very bad.
