If you are in the market for a micro camper or small travel trailer check out this custom built one in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It was for sale on Craigslist after returning from a 2400 mile road trip.
This camper is great for road trips or just for a long day of surfing, fishing or hunting. Built by a professional builder it weighs 2500 lbs and dimensions are 6′ x 12′ 6″ (this is without the tongue). The interior walls are wood style lacquered ply and bead board.

The couch pulls out to a queen size futon bed. Wired with 110v. Equipped with a small refrigerator, cabinet with drawer, small pantry, lighting fixtures, and outlets. There is a private area with a port-a-potty and sink vanity storage. Plus a sink that can be hard plumbed if parked in a permanent space.
Optionally you can add a roof mounted AC since the wiring is all ready for it. There is a nice size back door with a screen so you can let the breeze flow in without the bugs. From the outside you have four nice windows making the interior bright during the day. Great ventilation as well with all these windows.
Designed to be pulled on getaways or to set up as a permanent tiny living or workspace.
Was for sale on Craigslist (http://santafe.craigslist.org/rvs/3059500621.html). The listed price was $5495.
Would you have considered it for $5495? Or would you rather build one yourself?

For such a small space it is well put together. I could see it as a camper, but not full time. Very nice, should sell quickly!
Hey,, I’ve known of some couples who full time with a mid size dog. in these little 17 ft. Casita travel trailers.. I don’t know how they do it. but I guess it could be done in campers like like…
Makes it way more doable if you’re seeing new things, traveling, etc. 🙂
LOL! This thing is brilliant!
That looks really nice. I think they did a great job on it.
Looks like an early mike jansen design from years ago. Cool
$5495 is way too much for that, my son and I built ours with a small shower , a camper style fold out and it was 8 feet wide, 12 feet long for around $3k with trailer included in the price
