In this post I’m introducing you to Peter Pavlowich and his Terrapin micro turtle campers.

This series is called The Terrapin and it’s a new model of trailer campers he’s created. They’re inspired by many of the tiny travel trailers from the 1950s and 60s which are great for road trips. The best part is that you can easily tow these campers because they’re lightweight and compact.

This way you save on gas and ultimately it’s affordable to adventure. I urge you to check out the rest of this micro camper below because I think you’ll like the interior:

The cabin has a total of seven windows so you can enjoy the view while inside.

There you will also find a 6″ memory foam mattress and of course the bed transforms into a dinette (just like in most RVs).

This way you can sit, hang out, eat, work, and sleep. All in one tiny unit.

When you’re inside it’s like no other camping experience out there because it’s like a micro cabin inside.

In the comments below I’d like you to share what kind of adventures you’d go in with a micro camper like this.

Here’s What I’d Do With It…

For me, I’d love to use this towable micro cabin to tour and enjoy the country with while visiting other tiny homes, people, and spreading the message by speaking and sharing what I find here on Tiny House Talk.

And when I’m not on the road with it, I’d use it as my micro man cave out back.

So How About You? How Would You Use It?

How about you? (Let us know in the comments).
