Sorry, I don't know where I saved the photos from, so I have no more info.

That is an all Aussie Propert Trail-A-Cabin.

Propert on ebay
I'm putting together a bit of information at the moment. Should have it done in a couple of days.
"This Australian invention and export held patents in Australia, New Zealand and Britain. The caravan folds down to a compact size for pulling behind small and popular vehicles of the 1950’s, Morris, Austin, VW Beetles etc. Properts claim was that the Trail-A-Mate could be erected in under one minute."
Timber frame, steel chassis. 7’x5’
The exact dimensions are
H: 1.77m = 69.69"
L: 3.1m = 122.04" (inc. A frame & towball)
W: 1.97m = 77.56"
