Too bad he doesn't say who made it, all he says is it came from Indiana. I never knew we were the 'Trailer State'.

Maybe someone really adventurous could build some!

I posted a link to this (via the other thread) on another car site, hoping someone would recognize it. So far, no luck.

I've also tried pausing it when the front logo is shown, but I can't read it.

Any one have a way to capture and enhance it?

I'm terrible at backing trailers, this would be perfect.

I wonder if there is a forum for a vintage campers????

I agree. Bolt that ball to the roll cage and drag that thing off road.
