well... this ought to have you wondering... is it good? is it just innovative? I can't guess why anyone that wanted a camper and could afford a Caddy, didn't just get a truck... or an RV

Airfloat trailers, the holy grail of vintage trailers. This trailer was found in a mobile home park where it was sitting and rotting for 50 years, still shod in its factory tires from 1950.
