Karriall Corporation
The Karraill Kamper was manufactured by the Karriall Corporation located in Chicago, Illinois. William B. Mac Donald, Jr. of Chicago applied for a camping trailer patent on April 8, 1946 and was awarded US Patent 2,481,230 on September 6, 1949. The Karriall Kamper was constructed in the typical manor of the time with two beds that flipped out to the sides and a canvas tent top. Accessories such as a stove and refrigerator (icebox) were included with the price. The trailer was of heavy duty construction. Two models were produced, the De Luxe and the Konvertible, a dual purpose economy model.
As of this writing I have no further information on the company, years of production, or the founder/owner. I have found only two magazine advertisements, both from 1947. Like the Higgins Camping Trailer lack of demand following World War II may have been the demise of the Karriall Kamper.
