The door and it's hinge are out of synch with the duct tape and white spoke wheels.

'Aero Camping RV Trailer'

It's a clone of a 1930s Bowlus Papoose RV camping trailer, which 20-years ago would set you back $50,000 US, IF you could locate one.
They're extremely rare.

It's a cr*ppy clone.



Bowlus had pontoon fenders and a door over the hitch. This thing has a door hung on the curved front edge, that would be a nightmare to seal.

'this thing'

The spirit of what they've attempted exceeds any homebuilt I've seen, and the enclosed wheels would be an improvement over the Bowlus.
I like it. I'd like to tow with the BOLT when I get it in a couple years.
I'll look at it within the context of AeroCIVIC.
