Remember, the problem with a one wheel trailer, is that you have to have 2 attachment points to the rear of the tow vehicle. That was no problem when you could clamp the devices to any exposed 35 Ford rear bumper. Try that with the new bumpers......bummer.

I guess I am in the wrong place maby. But I am going to pull it behind a 1947 Lincoln Continental. Build a hitch under the bumper so I dont have to mess with the chrome. Going on a 26 hundred mile trip in Sept. I like the tow bar set up. Now I can also pull it behind the Caravan. Thanks much

Check out this one-wheel tent style TD from 1951 on the
Aussie Vintage Caravans site:

'Hope it helps with inspiration...

Good Luck with the build and do a trip posting too, while in
progress, or when it's over. Many would be interested to see the adventure.

Cheers,
