For those who have a small vehicle and love camping

You can even get it prepped for A/C.

These would be good also...

BTW, you can attach a standard roll up RV awning right to the side of the 6' high V nose trailer at the roof line just like on a production built RV trailer and have protection from rain and have shade in hot sun when wanting to be outside the trailer/cooking, etc and still be comfortable.

I can't see how those tiny cargo boxes make much sense at all. A tiny low height square end front wind pushing narrow box on a frame. For the same price and nearly the same weight, you can have a 6' X 10' with a 6' high interior so you can stand up in true V nosed cargo trailer that will render the same or better tow vehicle MPG's when towing and give double+ the room inside. Especially if an aluminum framed V nose cargo trailer is bought.

They can even be bought insulated in the side walls and roof. Our 6' X 12' X 6' high interior V nosed insulated cargo trailer with all steel construction, 3/4" pressure treated floor, insulated ceiling, aluminum skin exterior, 1/4" plywood interior skinned walls and ceiling over the insulation, with 8 tie down anchors in the floor, 30" wide door, and full rear door ramp weighs only 1380 lbs and it's 3 times the volume of interior than those tiny trailers. Cost new for ours was $2899. 3500# GVWR capacity. The little 5,000 BTU A/C unit can be bought in about any big box store for around $100. We thought about ordering the same with all aluminum construction and the weight would have been 920 lbs but the GVWR would have dropped to 3200# and the extra weight was not an issue for us. The V nosed trailer cuts right thru the air unlike a square ended trailer which pushes the wind backward (bucks the wind), a fuel mileage killer for small engine vehicles. We do not camp/sleep in our V nosed cargo trailer but sure could and be comfortable too! Yup, has a 14" X 14" opening roof vent also to vent heat etc.

Our V nosed was ordered insulated because we often carry things in it that could freeze but can't be allowed to. Lots of canned goods and liquids etc. We use a Lil Buddy propane heater inside hooked to a 20lb propane tank outside set on low (4500 BTU) and it keeps the inside of the trailer at about 50F when it's 10F to 20F outside. We used it in Northern Michigan many times in the winter and know how well it works.

These are the reasons I sure could not justify purchasing such an expensive tiny cramped trailer like these! Doesn't make logical sense! Aerodynamics is where sensible efficiency starts!

There are many versions of small trailers that can be towed with a small/medium size vehicle. We decided on a Teardrop that is for a tear large 6X10 and elaborate with many of the comforts of a larger RV. Yes it means you spend most of your time outside, but that is camping.

The RV market has many niches, it is not my choice but it my well be perfect for another.

Any of these might serve someone well with limited tow capacity.

I think I would go with a Bunkhouse Motorcycle trailer before that one. Bunkhouse trailer

I was just looking at the Taxa Tiger Moth trailers and thinking that I really didn't need all the cool stuff that comes with them. Want it, but don't need it :) http://tigermothtrailer.com/

The Runaway would be great for me. I don't have the ability, tools, or time to build the rig myself, and probably could not do it for that price.

I solo tent camp and already have everything I need for the inside. I can just use my cot, table, chair, etc.

Thanks for the link!

nice box with nothing in it

X2, I don't get it. It's basically a cargo trailer, seems like a waste of money.
I would rather buy a Teardrop camper.
