    What an awesome little unit. I'd have had one

    My first car was a VW Beetle (63). Loved that little car, so much so, a couple of years ago, we were going to buy one. That went right out the door when we worked out how much they're worth now

    Hello Mick88,

    I had a mid 1970s Beetle for my daily driver. It was incredible to see the manoeuvrability of the caravan and the Beetle. A really great YouTube find. Thanks for posting it Mick>

    Kind Regards
    Lionel

    That's a great idea. Probably too far ahead of its time.

    Or the stress was too much on the M10 bolts and guttering.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Brilliant concept!!! But.. I agree with V8ian, the integrity of the hitch is very questionable. Although the old dubs are fairly rigid.....great idea but.....

    Wouldn't be hard to make a hitch that would stay in place, but you wouldn't want to try it on most modern vehicles....

    I can't see the authorities liking it though - you would need a tow rating for the roof...
