Built by the Landmaschinen-Bauer company of Germany, the Camping Freund was considerably wider then many of the other German Single Wheel Trailers of the era. “The new, tax-free and insurance-free car unicycle trailer for camping, weekend, boat or your sport, is designed specifically for sport inflatables and their packing dimensions. A sports dinghy with motor and accessories has convenient space. The Camping Friend is plugged with two pins in seconds on two mounted on the car connectors. The cover can be tightened depending on the loading height and gives the load a secure hold and protection.” 1 Camping-Freund trailer in the advertisement is known to exist.
Todd Daley from Ontario Canada send us this. He found it in a bunch of papers he got with a VW kit car (’70 Ft Bonito) he acquired. If anybody might know the year of the car, it would help in dating the ad. There is no date of the brochure itself.

We purchased this from a vintage literature dealer on E-bay. This is the only documentation we have of the existence of the Anthony Trailer company. Notice all of the different applications the add sites in the third image. Seems they had quite a few different models for all the different applications. Very cool!
