Hi
I have seen quite a few modern ones about BUT what about older ones.
I can remember seeing a Mini pickup with a trailer pivoting over the top of the load bed, unfortunately I can't remember whether it was a load carrier or a caravan.
So do the caravan historians have any memories of such a beast around the 60's to 80's.
This was in the UK, no doubt the bigger countries US or Aus have had these for years. _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.

| I remember seeing film of one that fitted to a roof rack on a Beetle, and something on an 1800 landcrab? |

Hi
I have also seen that VW one and at that time it would have been nigh on impossible to run electrics for the van while being manouevered as it was on the film., though nowadays it might be possible using wireless connections.
There is a link for the VW film somewhere on the site. _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.
