Perplexed As To What To Call It But "30SecondsToCamper"

I will stick with my TT and / or a Eureka 4 man tent,with Coleman air mattress I always use the tent and 20' tarp for canoe camping and both of them together did not cost what that thing does and I will bet my kit is more comfortable.

I think this screen tent is a better idea. It would be easy to stow and not be hanging in my way like the Pod. If I had that Pod hanging on the rear it would be full of camping junk so would take longer than 30 seconds to deploy.

Can you use a WDH with it? :B

I would not want to drive an SUV like they show, with 275 lbs hanging off its butt. DutchmanSport's idea of using it as a guest bed for a large RV is a good one, though.

I notice the design funnels rainwater into the bed at the center and all along the tent half. I would not use this thing in the rain -- a real tent would be much drier.

At 275# you aren't going to lift that thing into the receiver.

I have been looking at it as an alternative to a towed travel trailer that needs tags etc. It appears it would keep the sleeping area clean, too - I know debris gets under my tonneau cover.

It would have to be towed with my truck instead of my car because of the hitch requirements.

Given the cost, I'd throw a mattress in the back of my mini-van or pickup with a cap. I'd have a foot or more left for storage space.

I was wondering if the height of the legs could be adjusted to allow it to hook up to a full size van.

We have a full size van with a seat that converts to a bed. We have 3 adults and this would actually work pretty good in a case like that. Being older, we are not fans of being on or very close to the ground. It is still easy to get down but a really long way back up.

I'm wondering how I would lift it up to attach it to my hitch receiver. Just how much does it weigh? Most vehicles have fairly low limits on dead weight that can be carried on a receiver.

The vehicle I would use to carry it would be my full-size van. I think I have about as much space behind the third seat in the van, and I could build a bunk for a lot less than the price of this. But maybe I'm not the market.

What will they think of next? That's a lot better than trying to sleep in a car seat and drier than a tent. Being a cheap --- I'd try to build one.:)
