German term or phrase: Klimaanhänger
Hi,

Can anyone shed any light on the term above? It appears in full in my text as "Klimaanhänger Wg. 22" (make/model, perhaps?)

These are (or were?) manufactured by a company called "Weiss", if this helps.

Kind regards,
Alison.

not much more than a guess but maybe..."Klima" as in "Klimaanlage" but might also have to do with a trailer adapted to the particular climatic conditions in which it is to be used.... a really tricky one for sure....
