Looks like fun!Talk about minimalist way of doing things! Not my style but that's ok. Not exactly a 35 foot TT but it looks like they have it worked out to have a lot of fun.

That is too cool if you can stand it! We used to camp in Daytona for bike week every year for 17 years in a tent strapped to the back of my Harley. Loved it then. Would not want to go back to doing that now. I still miss the debauchery though. :B

I wonder if a Lambretta with a side car with 3 people aboard towing a trailer with a boat on top is over it's GVWR and will void warantee?The weight police would have a hay day with this set-up. :B

That's great! "Even a moron - mechanically speaking - can fix it up in a matter of minutes".

Gotta admit it's kinda cool. Almost like a little collapsible Scamp. I could definitely see it as a TT pulled behind a car. Nice sleeping arrangements and use the CG for shower and bathroom and your good to go.I bet if they sold that here they would sell like hot cakes.

I guess I would have to agree! I camped in small canned hams that my parents rented when I was a kid, and now I camp in a small canned ham as an adult. Lots of people stop by to see it and reminisce. It's all I need to have a great camping experience.

Camping in a Samsonite suitcase.

They did not seem to worry about TV and TT weight ratio, seat belts, wind gusts, WD hitches and host of other things us safety wimps consider necessary today.

I got a kick of how wobbly it was until they set the end caps in place. Haha, can you imagine trying to set that up by yourself on a windy day ? !

My very first TT way back in the day had a pop up top. When you tried to close it, the wind would blow the screens out. You needed 4 people to hold the screens/vinyl in to crank the top down! :B

Sometimes I miss that little TT especially when trying to turn around the queen mary towing.

Pretty sure that trip was just for filming. But I love the set up.

I posted that same video a couple of years ago in order to ask how people see minimalist camping. Got quite a few diverse and fun answers.

I was wondering if it was real also, not because of the cloths but because of the high quality of the film in color.

Gal must have had fun walking in the sand with heels on. My wife would have fallen on her keister! :E
