These caravans as we call them in the UK were British made in the Cotswolds and were originally launched in 2015. They are made to resemble 1950s style and are quite expensive compared to lots of other caravans.
This is beautiful and well thought out. Radiant heat, great idea. I like the cassette toilet, avoids all the black tank rigamarole and saves that space, too. I must have missed the electric system part, battery and such. Outside grab handles for maneuvering, brilliant! Would add an exterior hard cover for the front glass during travel to avoid breakage and pitting. Anyone wanting solar, just use the folding panels, easier anyway for perfect placement and can park in the shade while panels are left in full sun. Quality throughout and an instant “classic”. Well done.
Nice but I think my Tab400 is more functional with the real commode and shower, queen size bed that stays a bed and lower cost. For 40k plus, I'd look at an Oliver camper. Thanks for your review!
Escape travel trailers are nice in that price range as well. I'm interested in a fiberglass camper but I see absolutely zero reason to go look at one of these. There's better value from a bunch of different manufacturers
Not a good idea..if this is meant for off the grid camping then the battery will be lucky to last the night...also the fridge should be propane or three way powered.
Yo Mandy, You are a Sweetheart. Thank you for the extensive tour and specs. Kool Rig I've been following the Barefoot since the prototype days. Love the one piece outer shell.
I have mine already reserved at my dealer. They told me today they are only getting ONE, but they have it promised to me...we will see! I'm a long time customer with them. I guess I'm going to have to add solar and a TV!
The closet door and storage door under the teeny closet should open the other way. Have to reach around the doors to access. This is a adorable little camper for 2 small minimalistic people and short trips. Unless I missed it, it looks like no ability to add solar, that’s is a deal breaker, you have to rely on shore power so boon-docking isn’t an option.
Seriously if you cant get past whatever it is long enough to realize that you could use a 3500w inverter generator to boondock by just charging when you need to. Come on. Solar is a virtue signal.
@@kathyadams3366 if you are pulling this then you have a vehicle. A genny to power this whole trailer would fit in the trunk or cargo area of any vehicle capable of pulling this. Generators are not that big or heavy anymore. If you are hauling with a truck, it would fit in the bed and easily be locked down not to slide around. And you can run it in the bed and power the whole trailer. And it wouldnt be hard to do a external solar for it either.
@@metamorphicorder I didn’t see a external solar port but maybe I missed it. The tow vehicle for this camper will be the main place for gear/camping equipment since there is a minuscule amount of storage on the outside and inside. I do think it’s an adorable tiny camper, for weekend trips and one maybe two small/short people.
@@kathyadams3366 you would likely have to have it installed by the dealer or a third party. You would want a generator unless you are in really good weather because if you have a really really hot day you will want ac. Again gennys to run this whole trailer are the size of a small welding machine. So they arent huge. You can use the inside of the trailer for storage as well by using shower curtain rods and adjustable canes as load locks the way truckers use load locks to stabilize their loads. Just wedge them between a load and a wall. Lots of ways to adapt to things if you want.
You have to really like rv camping to buy this trailer. The cost of the trailer and campground nights, one could travel and stay in decent hotels for a solid year, or 5 weeks a year for 10 years. I converted a cargo Trailer to a toy hauler for $3500 total. I don't feel bad if I only use it 10 nights a year.
Super cute. However, the cabinet right next to the door, the doors most definitely should open up from the other side. Makes you wonder why anyone would have ok’d that.
Unfortunately my heart is broken... I cannot afford it ☹ ... had my heart set on getting this!!! Hope all that get it, enjoy it, have a blast, and go exploring!!!
This Barefoot is pretty awesome but I noticed the tires and the wheels are terrible for off roading and it's just to low to the ground so that would unfortunately be a deal breaker for me even though I like it very much.
Very cute and elegant but it cost around the same as the 400 & little guy max with less options including only one bed. I think $25-30k seems more reasonable
I really like the layout of the Barefoot. Looks roomy and a lot of storage. Not very much counter top space tho. The only question I would have is can this be hooked up to sewers at camp sites or is it only the 5 gallon holding tank. Last but not least is the price. To me for something that small it way to high at mid 40s MSRP. Now I know once it hits the showroom’s and has been out and a lot of people like me will not like the price and they don’t sell quickly that maybe the price will come down a bit. You know as well as I do when something new hits the market that it tends to be higher price than if you wait a year or two the price does come down a little bit. So will see what happens. I will say that Nucamp does make some spacious campers. I also forgot to mention that there was one you showed that I wish I had on my Tag cl is the outside 110 outlet. Thank you Mandy for this your.
Thanks for the video! Could comment about its 4 season capability? Like location of tanks and if they are enclosed and getting any warm heat from Alde. Thanks!
@@MandyLea true. But there are folks that just want a fridge to store leftovers from restaurant meals, and there are folks that love to cook, and need space for ingredients. I’m the latter.
I really like this except the size of refrigerator. Just not enough space for an extended vacation. There is room on the opposite wall for a larger unit. I hope this is taken into consideration.
Id love it if you could remove one side of the seating area for more room to just stand. feels a tad cramped with them and the table. Also better solar would be helpful. Otherwise though this seems great! If only I could afford it lol
Yes there is! I don't know how I completely forgot to show that. There is storage under just 1 of the bench seats. Batteries and AC are under the other 2
I wish they did the table post that just lowers with a handle. I think they are a hydraulic telescoping post. One handed operation. For us old folks with bad hands and weak muscles.☹
Its cute but really how many couple could stand being in it. I think the bed should be smaller to fit one. And add in more storage for clothes. Great features
So disappointed that it won’t fit through a standard 8’ tall garage door. That’s a major issue in communities that won’t let you park it in your driveway or street and a storage space or lot is too expensive.
From the prices i see, it doesn't equal out for what you get compared to the 400, other brands and it looks good, but as far as functionality, no. How tall is Mandy in relation to its size? Two people can't really share the 1 bed if not "close" Watch multiple reviews.
I don't think it's fair or honest advertising to say those tiny little fold away sinks are "one of the deepest for RV's"... Especially now that most RV's and campers have moved away from those because they aren't big enough and go for more deep residential or even industrial sinks..
@@MandyLea yep happy to accept that the angle could be throwing off the look. At the 43 second mark in the video is what i was referring to, wheel looks to be more to the rear. Great product loved it.
Pretty decent. Two issues: 1. Solar panels and battery 2. Too many windows. Probably end one should be solar panel, or allow adjustable slider panel on those railings, but fixed preferred. You didn't mention battery did you? Seems overpriced. I'm not sure that themed design is very functional.
I was really liking this until I heard, "....mid-$40s." I darn near gagged on my PB&J! Nope, no way, no how. Mid-forty thousand dollars.....boggles the mind.
I loved it till I saw the fridge . Why would you put in such a small fridge and one so close to the floor. Most people who are going to buy this are older they do not want to have to bend down like that. We sold our last trailer because of that . If it has to go that low, a large drawer fridge would be perfect.
