Beetle Camper!?

An air cooled VW Beetle towing a camper? This video has been around for awhile. I believe the camper/trailer was called “The Shadow” though this is unconfirmed. This 1974 video shows the VW Beetle being hooked up to this camper going in circles. Even a Beetle enthusiast like myself has a hard time imagining the VW’s meager power plant hauling this extra weight. I’ve never seen one myself but I’d be interested to hear if some had or knew someone that did. It certainly is unique.
