Unfolding, rotating off-grid camper.

I just assumed the wheels retracted into the camper...lowering itself on top of the track??????

Getting the track in place, perfectly level, is sure to be a PITA.

Well, that's definitely an interesting concept. I wonder though, how do you get the wheels out of the way so the unit can rotate on the ring? Or do those corner jacks lift it up so the ring can be put under it and then lowered on it with tires off the ground.

Not sure how well that would work in the USA. I think the feasibility of it becoming widely accepted would be the price and someone daring enough to do it and then get notoriety out of it, like ... like Rose O'Donnel :S or Oprah Winfrey, :E someone like that! Not for me though. I'm too much "old school".

Edit:
The more I think about this, I'm beginning to see some real problems. Number 1 being, it has to be level for it to rotate correctly on that ring. Now, if WE who have conventional campers have challenges level 4 wheels on the ground, in mountains, sloped driveways, and some really uneven campsites, how in the world will you find somewhere with enough foot print for that ring to be perfectly level.

Which makes me think, the purpose is not for camping, but it's real purpose is for alternative "tiny houses" for living in, not camping. Thus, the reason for it to rotate.

Just my thoughts here.
