Hope this is for camping and traveling?
Primarily, but you could live in it! — Tiny House Talk Team
Nice but expensive. Re-invention of travel trailers of the last century. Don’t like the open head and lack of a fixed bed which would
provide plenty of storage under.
Just lbs 1,000 payload isn’t much for extensive travel and brakes should be despite legal requirements standard.
No heating system – insulation alone can’t prevent you from freezing.
Otherwise very aerodynamic and for sure easy to tow.
Hmm are you sure no heating system? I need to check on that! — Tiny House Talk Team
I really liked the teardrop camper! It looks like they had everything covered. They seemed to have a lot of sleeping areas, nice kitchen, unique stove setup. I think I would put something up to close off the bathroom area for privacy. But on the whole great set up!?
Glad you liked it 🙂 And they have a privacy screen for the bathroom! — Tiny House Talk Team
Pop top? Disingenuous to say the very least. Only a small portion pops up and most of this trailer you would be walking around hunched over. Absolutely fine if you are looking to take on the title part of the play the Hunchback of Notre Dame, but for normal real people? Nah.
And, not even any real privacy with the toilet zone. So anybody else can see you go, and “everybody else” gets the odours too. Big no no from me.
I thought so too- little high..$$
Nice trailer. It’s states in the interior section that the toilet has a privacy screen.
Good thing! 🙂 — Tiny House Talk Team
Holy Cow ~~ I’m totally surprised at how much room is in it!! Perfect!!
It’s really remarkable! — Tiny House Talk Team
