Jeeps Pulling Airstream Trailers

Thanks to Blaine for spotting some of these jeep-pulling-airstream trailer images. That led me to search for some more. I think my favorite might just be the post from Kaiser Willys, as a wagon owner named Richard Carr pulled his airstream down to Baja, Mexico, for a six month vacation in 2010 and was still there as of 2015. I guess he found his spot in the world!

These were some of Blaine's finds:

This one is from the CJ-2A page via Photobucket:

And a couple more from Pinterest:

Just some commentary, from where did he tow the trailer to Mexico, miles make a difference. I think that's an important fact overlooked. Is this a stock wagon? Look at the front left tire, notice it sticks way out beyond the fender, could be off set wheels, or maybe sitting on something other than a stock Willys drive train. Not being critical, just observing.

If I can make some time, I'll contact Rachel @ Kaiser Willys to see if she knows the answer.

A side view of the rig from KWS source... http://blog.kaiserwillys.com/willys-station-wagon-customer-photos/richard-carr?doing_wp_cron=1548245328.8394799232482910156250#gallery/329bae1375a17056912d9043b3c36c81/16674/comments … will provide "more than offset" for "curiosity"...

Look at that side view, wheel base seems to be too far back in the rear. I think this is not a stock wagon.

I've got a '54 Willys Wagon with V8, tow a 69 Airstream Caravel.
