Coolest 5er ever

Any idea where I can find one of these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56XL0TysIn0? I've already got the TDI Bug, just need the trailer now. This has got to be the coolest thing I've ever seen.

That was pretty cool. Perfect for those that have trouble backing up a trailer.

When I was a kid a neighbor had something similar on a 80's Olds Delta 88. It was crazy looking going down the street with a camper in tow.

My wife even laughed at that. She didn't give me permission to ditch the 40' 5ver though.

That was pretty cool, Great if you like camping in salt flats. I would not try that rig on much of a hill, up or down. would probably just end up being down.
