I don`t think it`s a Kentucky trailer because it is written on the bottom of the door and the door was most likely added. Could be wrong though, I have a large number of Biller Bros photos, I`ll see if any other trailers have state names on them.
There was (and maybe still is) a truck body company named "Kentucky" that produced a variety of truck bodies and components. I've seen the same name plate on dump truck bodies, but don't have any current info on the firm. Not too many shows had the money for new equipment; it is likely that this was at one time a moving van that the show converted to their particular uses.
I performed from 1973 to 1995 with a couple years off in between. I did an aerial cradle act for three years, low wire as a clown, trained llamas, ponies, then lions and tigers for 15 years. I am now a firefighter, a member of the Circus Historical Society and an author of several circus and carnival related subjects.

Notice the name Kentucky under the door of this semi trailer. The sleepers were named the same way the rail shows named their coaches.
Kentucky trailer maybe?
