Here is a perfect companion project, Howard: a Jeep Surrey. They were available in these three 2-tone combinations and feature striped canvas roof panels with fringe. Jeeps of this era are all flat panels, so creating a simple one from cardboard would be quite similar to your ingenius little trailer. I haven't searched but I would bet that drawings for a paper or cardboard toy Jeep can be found online.

The camper trailer is such a new and exciting theme in putzing. I can hardly wait for the ocean liner.
