Default Anyone seen one of these?

I just found a previously unknown (to me) trailer. What a great lightweight camper. Has anyone seen one in real life or in a photograph?

Neat little trailer. Not seen one of those before. A quick search yielded the page you got your info from: https://usautoindustryworldwartwo.co...odycompany.htm

And these two threads on well-known forums:

It "appears to be some sort of communications trailer"

I was thinking of building a repro for a camper but looking at internal photos far too heavy and complicated.

The one crossing the pontoon bridge is different in that it has twin rear doors that are almost the full width of the body whereas the one at the top of this thread has a single rear door and the tail lights in the body either side of the narrower door opening. Possibly a different make for the same basic role ?

Seeing they are so rare you would think there was little call to give out contracts to more than one supplier. Stranger things have happened!
