Many years ago my boss gave me a pile of American "Popular Mechanics" magazines from the 50's. A chap in one had actually done this with a trailer, as they call them over there, and the front half of a WW2 Willys jeep, just using the front, driven, axle. The write-up had pictures and if I remember correctly, it is over 40 years ago, the Jeep front end from the dash forwards stuck out of the front. Don't think it would meet modern standards. Maybe our friend has been reading this article.

I think Bailey are looking to move into the motorhome section of the market, I think its them testing the water. They could call it the Bailey Crappus, don't forget to put thick cardboard at the front to stop the stone chips.

As a military vehicle, the Jeep would be excempt from a lot of the regulations that control cars. A pickup is also excempt from a lot of these regulations. Maybe the OP would have been better using a VW Caddy (Golf Pickup)
