Good luck..you will need it trying to sell those.
I notice there are no prices,which indicates they will be vastly overpriced.

As already said,they are no different to the teardrop ones already on the market

That looks like a Bed Bug, made somewhere around Hereford, I think.

Their website's down at the moment, but there's an email address here if anyone's interested.

Would love one for myself and the dog - don't think that the kids would be haoppy if I left them at home though.

Were would you put your stuff when you sleep. You would need a tent as well.

This one is much more funky http://www.ysin.co.uk/

What looks beautiful in showroom conditions would be somewhat less so on a wet muddy campsite.....

There is a storage compartment. Keep in mind, these were designed for a weekend getaways, not really suitable for long journeys unless you had other equipment.

I checked out the link and it's nice! But at 27,000 euro, it's in another category!

Teardrop trailers, of which this is just a variation are often mentioned & shown on these boards. Most are basic & often home built by the users, which suggests a basic requirement of a teardrop is that it is cheap. This one does not look cheap so good luck to you.

Are these made in Sugarcreek? What sort of price are they selling for?



No, they're made in Slovakia and sell for about €5000. Thanks! We just introduced these and have had a good response so far. For many , it's just too small but for those who take short trips and want something easy and fuel efficient (even behind a trike or small car), it works well!

Basically ... it's a bed on wheels ... my big query would be ... what about cooking?
You'd have to have a separate kitchen set-up ... boring.
Great for contract site workers!

Campfire girl ... love the Sydney Opera House folder ... now that IS stylish, and so easy to put up ... pity they're not available over here ... the design and quality of manufacture is in another realm, compared to what we are used to!

Good luck with your venture Nora. 

I should think this would be of great use to any sportsman that wants to get away for the weekend.  When I was younger I used to cruise in a small sailing boat and go fishing where ever I could, this reminds me of those days.  You could try marketing your product in the likes of Sea Angler, and Boat Angler, etc. Fishermen - like most sportsmen are fanatical about what they do - I know some who think nothing of throwing their gear in the car, taking off for the weekend and using their car to sleep in. I should think theyd be glad of this. As for storage I think there would be plenty for long weekends as you would also have the car to store things in. 

Colin
