Looking for information on manufacturer of 1975 Gentry home. Received information it might be ATCO, but wasn't able to find information on ATCO either.

Thanks,
BRM

You are going to be getting info from those like me over 60 yrs old and remembering specifics from a manufacturer who probably went out of business over 30 years ago...It is like looking for info about any home builder who went out of business that long ago....One thing I can tell you is that this home was built prior to the HUD code which was a time of "buyer beware"..I assume you will be doing a professional home inspection before you buy it now..A home inspector will report to you anything that must be done to make the home livable and safe..Maybe someone else here will have better recollections of this brand and manufacturer...

The model name of Gentry was used by two manufacturers. ATCO Homes, and Coachmen Homes, both long gone.

A Coachmen Gentry would have been built in the '80s so it is most likely an ATCO.
