So it's got two slides. Big deal:)

Actually, kind of interesting, but *cozy*, I'll bet.

Ahem........39000 u.s. at current exchange. Dont think so.

Interesting design. Suppose they could paint it in Guiness colors if they sell it in Ireland? 🙂

Expansion with slide-outs is more American. Besides, it looks more like a 1-short person RV.

Hey IAMICHABOD the wife sez she would be afraid of people rapping on the door asking for a cold one!

[IAMICHABOD]

Paint it like THIS and it will sell :B

I would definitely paint a beer can pull tab on the front door hehe...

That's thinking 'way outside the box! Beats a traditional tent / popup camper, IMO. Color me impressed!

Ah... but if someone from a beer company custom painted it to look like their brand of beer.. it would be a crack up for company use.

Talk about a roving logo that would command everyone's attention!

Yep.. looks a bit SHY on storage space...and where's the potty?

That would be the picture beside "ugly" in the dictionary!

There's sure nothing wrong with thinking outside the "Box".

After I got past being impressed I started looking for those little things that make an RV practical ... like storage, furnace, refrigerator, air conditioning, propane tanks, holding tank access, Awnings, etc. I'm sure a lot of those are there, but the way it closes up sorta makes traditional utilities and appliance's a trick to install.

Also missing was the weight, but maybe I missed it.

That said ... it's still a COOL looking "beer can". 🙂

One has to wonder why all this innovation is all happening in Nordic countries, the UK and other European countries. These don't appear to be prototypes either for the most part. I wish that half of what Robert Ryan showed us on RV.net made it stateside.

Some of the Australian RV's are durable, clever and look to be very well made.

What's wrong with the United States that we aren't trying to build anything other than Jaycos, Cedar Creeks, Lances, Forest Rivers, Thors....?

I told my hubby it looked like a 55 gallon drum someone squished. I still think it's super clever.

But... the basic rule of thumb.. DON'T be the first to buy one...LOL Let someone else work out the kinks.

If I were looking for a small trailer, I'd consider something like that. However, with all the pieces having to fit together, I'd be afraid of leaving a drawer open and having damage when trying to get hitched up and out. Plus, it would have to be expanded if one needed to use the bathroom. Of course, there is balance and water tank size as well.

Whoever makes those shouldn't quit their day job...looks like a beer can.
