    When we converted dad's 54 Greyhound we had looked at ways to carry a small get around ride.. thought about cutting the roof off a Honda cvcc to fit underneath.. was easier to just tow the jeep..lol

    This one looks like it could also be a cabin boat type of thing. Definitely 50s

    how the hell do you spose they get that around a corner, dont see no articulation or maybe it stretches out when you have go around a corner with it. Oh its in africa and there may be no corners there. Put it on one of them what you call it turn tables like the railroad has and just turn it around and go back the way you came.

    There was a company that built camper trailers in the mid to late 20’s . The pivot for the trailer was a spindle , hub and tire wheel assembly. The tire was held onto the frame of the towing vehicle by clamps . The spindle was attached to the trailer. The idea was the tire would flex and absorb the bouncing of the trailer. I once had a magazine article about it but I’ve filled it away somewhere lol

    This one might fall to the low side of the "power" ratings.

  19. So I tried this out over the weekend- the question is would Anthony sleep in it? 9FB42064-BDD4-4388-AA92-E3B08B135BB1.jpeg 7CE8B8A2-56A3-4873-95F2-4D115C852991.jpeg
