The Kamprite Trailer was manufactured in St. Louis, Missouri during the 1920s by the Lippman Kamprite Trailer Company. A 1923 advertisement for the trailer which appeared in The Rotarian sold the product on the promise that the customer can “live in the open with all the comforts of home. Banish the dread of poor hotels, of makeshift camps, and foul weather.” Another ad, from a 1923 issue of Outdoor Magazine, dramatically declared that “the Rajah of Mysore, India, chose this trailer; likewise the Carberry Big Game Hunters bought it for use in East Africa; because it meets every camping demand.”
