That last one appears to have a bent frame. The tongue is level but the trailer is far from level...

[/quote]As you might imagine these trailers were quite rare even back in the day.   There is a youtube video of a guy finding one of these at a junkyard and saving it for restoration.   I could not find any videos showing the restoration project so I don't know what became of it.

Makes me wonder about camper construction material, structure, tongue & overall weight.  It's a interesting idea if paired with a proper TV. Saw another video and they stated the rig got 18 to 20MPG.
