New TT for Compact Cars

I`de like to see the floor plan. but I don't think there is a floor to walk on?

I know they have been looking at other configurations for the Ascape. No reason they could not offer an off-road version as they do on their Somerset line except CNW has been very busy and at this time and probably not going to do anything that might negatively impact production.

Aerodynamics works differently at airplane speeds vs. highway speeds. It would be interesting to try some-type of foldable rear aero kit like some of the big trailers are using. This little trailer is very non-aero. Pulling it backward would likely be more aero. It cracks me up that companies market these types of things as aero with apparently little understanding of aerodynamics.

There is a car running around for quite a nuber of years already that is called the Smart for Two. It's also 1/2 a vehicle and it also costs "good money" but it serves its owners well and satisfies the itch they have.

Dif'rent Stroke for Dif'rent Folks as Sly used to sing.

I own a RAM pick up but also a Mazda Miata. They both have a specific purpose that suits me fine.

Very close floor plan to Lil Snoozy, which I've always admired. I always thought it was a shame you couldn't order it with propane, because the layout is great.

I love your setup, but then I love the tiny ones.

With that tall flat back it will take almost as much power to pull it as a bigger ultralight. A Ford Model A is more aerodynamic in reverse than forward since the air clings to the large flat rear end.

Seems like there are already a ton of choices in this market segment. I would be more partial to a scamp type design.

Amen, that's why I built an air deflector and mounted it at the back of the roof on my flatback Tahoe. Breaks up the vacuum and releases the TT from the air flow and keeps the back clean. Note that airplanes are bulbous in the front and taper to a point at the back, must be a reason why. LIttle TT is a little ugly alright.

Could you post some pictures? How much did MPG improve?

Thanks for the link. It has more space than I thought it would. Looks like it has about as much space as some of those short bed truck campers.

Another similar one here is the Karakampa
