The Caravan

J.E. Henry’s house trailer. I guess there was no time to level it,  one day jumps were rough.  This is a home made trailer. The undercarriage is from a model T ford. I know this as a fact J.E. Henry invented the first semi trailer with a steel king pine, He also built the first house trailer. As all the invention from the circus. The ideas came from pure necessity. My grandfather was not alone when it came to inventing what was needed to make the job easier and faster.
