For those who have a small vehicle and love camping

I was going down a street in Ocala, Florida recently and seen these sitting on a lot. I had to stop and look, what a great idea for those with a small tow vehicle and love to camp.

  • For the person who can & wants to build their own interior might just work..
  • Looks to be a different take on the tear drop trailers, more basic but less expensive. My only real problem is lack of insulation, but that could be easily accomplished by ones self.

    Of course, my wife would say "no way" due to no bathroom!

    The biggest problem I see is the lack of brakes. In TN, you must have breaks on anything weighing over 1500 lb.


    The weight (depending on the model) is 700-900 lbs.
  • Depending on ones skill level, $3,500 for something that is ready for the finishing touches isn't all bad. How much would all the parts and hours of labor be worth if a person tried to build from scratch and then have to get it titled and it would be called home made. They cant build it for nothing.

    If a person has a small tow vehicle there isn't much else they can do. Add a Honda 2000, good battery, good converter, solar panel, microwave, leds, foam bed with underneath storage and hit the road. I like it.
