I am betting here is one no one has seen:

It is a New Moon that was sold through Sears around 1954. It had four canvas bunks in it, two on each side of an aisle, one above the other. Folding aluminum ends. The canvas tent was an enclosure, no floor. There were no cooking or any amenities in it. When folded it was about 18" thick.
The fellow in the picture was my father, taken around 1956 at the Grand Canyon. Trailer was pulled with a 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air.
