VW Bug Gooseneck Trailer FOUND. Forgotten Volkswagen Camper. 1 of a kind VW accessory.

[Music] if you spend any time at all online there's a pretty good chance you've seen this video this video features a Volkswagen Beetle with a 5th wheel camper trailer that attaches to a hitch on the roof the year was 1974 the company international travel trailer Inc and the car they decided to use for their promotional video of Volkswagen Beetle some caught this just another small card gimmick but it's hard to say whether or not this trailer ever really took off because it seems to be the only evidence we have that this trailer ever existed is this YouTube video whether this trailer was a prototype or whether it was produced for the general public the only thing that most people can agree on is that they have never seen whether the company knew it or not at the time the use of the VW Beetle as a tow rig was a stroke of genius if there's one thing VW owners love more than their cars its period-correct accessories for their cars and for some Volkswagen Beetle owners this trailer is the holy grail of accessories with features like a kitchenette a bath and shower and sleeping for four how would this thing not be a hit at the next club campout what you are about to see is the first documented discovery of one of these trailers proof that they were in fact produced and sold to the public earlier this week while driving to my shop may notice a silhouette of what I thought was one of these trailers about a hundred yards off the road in an abandoned salvage yard I turned around snapped a couple of photos and then went back to the shop to watch the YouTube video and compare the two trailers not only were the two trailers similar in shape size dimension windows etc they were identical right down to the International trailer Inc logo mounted on the front corner of the trailer and on the left rear corner of the trailer I made a couple of phone calls and got a hold of the name of the property owner and finally got them on the phone they agreed to sell me the trailer we hooked up the truck and we headed over to do what we do [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music]
