Except he ripped off hundred of people of their deposits. Took hundreds of deposits & promise to build their trailers & after a few years filed bank rupt. Now hundreds of people who put down over $10,000 lost their deposit & never got the trailer they were promised. Company is closed now. He scammed hundreds of people.
@@inmyopinion651 From what I read this guy sold his company, and the new ownership ripped everyone off. Unless he is the new owner, but I doubt it. smalltrailerenthusiast.com/2019/03/06/nearly-50-face-losing-deposits-as-lil-snoozy-abruptly-closes-shop/
Fantastic moderator! Quick, clear, thorough, and delightfully free of the tedious hallmarks of so many other RV videos: the Rodney Dangerfield wanna-bes with their "uh"s, dumb jokes, and pondering of the obvious. This was a refreshing change!
I have one of the last lilsnoozy campers. Unfortunately they went under before they could become profitable! 😢 I am completely satisfied with mine...well built, well designed. Hope someone comes along and gets them back on the road. I use mine as a stationary mancave and heat it with an outside furnace which also heats the house. It is truly 4 season and no humidity problem in winter at all. Would not trade it for anything.
@Mike Zona Mike, after reading and re-reading your post/rant, perhaps a weeklong hike thru the Appalachians could clear your head. As one guy to another, she seems to have messed up your head. That mountain air does wonders for the brain cells.
For all of you that think it's too expensive please consider what you are getting for the money. This is a well thought out design built by a private company, not one of the monoliths that control everything else. Have you priced a similar sized Rpod? I think it's absolutely fantastic and will be making the short trip to St. Matthews, SC to check one out soon. Love the idea of no propane. Why would I want gas routed into my living quarters? And the idea of a home window a/c unit is just brilliant. Roof mounted units in most campers are WAY too loud for comfort. Having a compressor refrigerator is priceless as you don't have to cool it down a day ahead of time like most camper units. And just how do you do that anyway if your camper is stored at a place with no electricity? Good Lord, the toilet alone is almost worth the price of the unit! Thanks for such an innovative design!
Sorry, Rpod's a better camper overall. Having to rely on a noisy (relatively) generator is a definite deal breaker. No propane? He also never mentioned shore power of any kind or a battery? I have to carry gasoline now to run my generator, which most campgrounds have restrictions on running. Having to start up that thing would be a pain after a time, along with the frequent fill up's for the generator.
This by far is the BEST CAMPER ..EVER.....!! I love the canned campers/as well as the tear drop.........I'm NOW considering THIS....wonderfully built...little 'forever' home... ; )
I was excited about discovering this video and the camper....Right up until I discovered what it cost two years ago and that it lacked propane.....Guess The Lovely Bride and I will be sticking with what we've got. And by the way....Your AC unit STILL looks like a household window unit sticking out of a window.
Pretty nice little unit. Not sure how I feel about having to start up the generator to make some hot water or keep the fridge cool while boondocking. But then again, here I am in a tent cooking things with FIRE.
I love South Carolina. LOL, I started to leave that as my only comment. But I couldn't help myself. I'm glad to hear that you down south selling Scituate item. Although it wouldn't do me any good. I still think it's an ingenious idea. I have a few things keeping me from getting the camper like this. Grandkids !!!!!!!
This is a home run. Absolutely perfect in every respect for me. I like the no propane, I already have a nice little Onan 2.2KW Micro-lite gen. Unfortunately, I don’t have the 30 G’s or whatever this baby cost. Not complaining about the price, this guy developed and perfected the perfect unit to suit my needs, but unless some unseen fortune comes my way, I’ll be admiring these from a distance. I think I’m just gonna buy one of those used beat the hell up “not to exceed 45mph” U-Hails, toss a mattress in it and get the whole thing over with.
Great camper. I usually find something wrong in the first 30 seconds. Can't find anything I would change except maybe even a little smaller, not as high end and affordable to me. Dream on! Anyway best plan I have seen in years.
, that is the coolest little camper. everything you need & nothing you don't. I would have a manual crank out awning installed and a couple of solar panels on the roof with another battery also. big led to, stereo with DVD player with outside marine speakers. hd tv antenna on the roof. very cool.
Love your presentation skills, you are quick, get to the point, and your camper has it all...what can pull it, and leave it's price, contact number. No. T.V. but it has everything else. I listed you to let others enjoy on Google. Take Care Rob. I am a writer, planner, and planned the new phones...never seem to get the breaks I am expecting, however, it is all fun...usually. Living here in Texas...wondering what I am going to see, do, and be next.
A very well designed unit, and will likely last for generations, like a Boler trailer. But no propane fridge and heat is a big problem. Most of our provincial camp sites have set generator times, and they max out at 4 hours per day. Too bad, you guys are missing out on the bulk of the market share. Yes the price is really high but I bet this is a quality product. Best of luck to the company.
I love the design but not going with propane is a deal breaker for me. I need to have a refrigerator running all the time and I need a full range, which you can't offer since you when without propane. Besides this, your trailer is beautifully designed. I love the price and the entire design. Anyway, I'll keep looking to find the camper that will meet my needs. Cheers.
just wondering, is it possible to get solar panels on the roof and batteries in the front/ under the floor and possibly make it completely off the grid for power? my local campground charges an arm and a leg for electric now and id love to be able to stick it to them and go green at the same time.
no wood floors, bed, couch shower, single axle, light weight yup, i think im sold, only thing is ill buy used due to the fact ill be voiding the warranty right off the bat by lifting the suspension running a larger tire for added ground clearance and converting the all electronics to 12v including ac and head and going full solar power, i need a light, all weather, off road capable self sustained rig and this would be a great start
love the trailer.i would prefer a composting toilet.i hate dumping the port potty containers.second i would do a couple of nuwave cooktops,i would want a totally secured place for the generator.also check into a goal zero solar generator.i think these options would make the living a lot more comfortable.but like i said awesome design.just needs tweeted
I have nothing bad to say about this trailer... excellent design. Right size... and it has all the amenities one would need... all it's missing is some solar panels, and a small awning for the back door.....
Looks cool. But why on earth would you design an RV with no propane. You now have to have the generator running full time just to keep the fridge cool or the heater on. That's a deal breaker.
I loved all the features in this also but Scamp in Minnesota starting price is around 8,000 for the basic with no special features... it is also fiberglass, I have a fiber glass camper built in 1983 a Burro, I cant say enough about it only problem to date is the door has gotten a bad seal.
He scammed hundreds of people out of their money & never built their trailers. Company is closed now with most of those people putting down over $10K deposit to never see their money again.
BBBYpsi Oh.... Much gratitude! I did not know this... Thank you for this info. Very sorry for those who lost their money. Gesh! He is very convincing. Did he ever build any of them? Was this an intentional con or was he just lousy with financial management...?
@@doreendaykin6693 I believe the guy in the video here is the guy who designed it in 2010 and sold the company to another guy in 2013 that's when the problems of it started I deliver travel trailers for a living I pick them all up from the manufacturers in Indiana and take him to all lower 48 states to the dealerships
I wish you the best of luck - this is definitely a superior quality product but, unfortunately, we live in a lowest-price-quality-be-damned market. I wish more people thought like you; if they did, campers would be the sort of thing that a family could hand down generation to generation.
I wish this company didn't go belly up because This video convinced me I wanted one of these campers. This would have been the perfect camper for me. This guy is a good salesman.
Love it! But once I saw the price tag...I was disappointed. There is no way in the world I could afford this on my small budget! Rats. Love to camp...this would be awesome. Just can't afford the payment.
spydude38 Thanks! Hope the one I like the most will be priced to my beer budget without needing a lot of work on it. I am not very handy with tools anymore.
Great product...I love the door aspect for the disabled the ramp. Putting that aspect in your trailer just opened the arena for others to understand that we like to camp also. I give you a thumbs up for product and a great video. Best of Luck.
I like this camper. I may get one of these if I get better employment. It looks to come in handy for when IM in WV as the parking infront of the cabin can be tight and a small camper would go good to sleep in when the cabin gets crowded. And it can get cold inside during the fall season.
I loved this design as well. I was shocked to see they out of buisness and left customers deposits hanging. Maybe someone bring that design back with new management/owner.
As soon as I can purchase one I will! I’ve been to your place of business and I was indeed impressed with quality n workmanship of lil Snoozy! I use a wheelchair and have for 32 years since I was 19, hence my independence. I think adaptation to my needs would be simple with this product. Dr David
Ordered our last Aug 2017. It is a year back log. All the fiberglass campers have a long wait. They keep their value & the used ones will sell within a day or two. If you are serous about buying one, get one ordered & get in line. Somethings are worth the wait.
@@michaella4347 Actually Mr Smoak sold the company it was the new owners that took all these deposits..www.rvtravel.com/rv-manufacturer-goes-belly-up-leaving-customers-hanging/
@@johnkemple - Thank you for clarifying that, I was not aware of that fact, the account I read of the situation made it sound as if the person who split with the deposit money was the originator of the company, appoligies to the OP
I dont know about this one but I have seen them that you hook a trolling motor to it, back it in the water and go fishing. I work at a campground at cant wait to see someone with one like that
You need to link your site to this video so that customers can get more info if needed or to buy your trailer. Also use the h.t.t.p in the link so that it is clickable.
I loved your video he didn't talk too much you got right to the point and showed all the good stuff right off the bat thank you I wish all videos were like yours I'm going to have to go back and watch it again though cuz I didn't catch the price
Different strokes for different folks… being a loner, and having lived off grid in an old 12 ft Scotty for 13 years, I truly understand and appreciate the “minimalist” lifestyle. With all the recent interest in ‘tiny homes’, I know that there are many others who understand my perspective. - Of course there are less expensive units of comparable size and amenities… but for a few thousand more, why not go for QUALITY? I can see myself traveling the nation with this easy, convenient “home away from home”.
the newest teardrop is 20k bells n whistles included .. i love this lil snoozy i just really wish it had gas features. fridge.needs constant cooling... i would appreciate the price so much more if it had built in flotation. a spot i could snap a trolling motor to and just cruise the bay or lake
The public education system in this country has failed yet another otherwise normal person.' Look dude, everyone knows the sun does not shine on uneven ground. I mean seriously, just look at the midwest, all that wheat, flat ground. Duh!
I love good design and this is without a doubt one of the best thought out designs for small trailers I have seen. Now all it needs is the companion "roll on" pontoon boat so you can turn the whole thing into a mini houseboat. Too bad you don't read your messages! The problem with fiberglass is UV look at any boat that sits out all year and see how dull and chalky it is. Somehow you never addressed this.
This guy finally figured it out this seems to be a great camper for the size. I am still not a fan of the wet bath / toilet combo but given the size it's understandable. I'd almost give up the queen bed to possibly a queen in an enclosed shower. Overall guys seems to have it covered and clearly been an owner of a camper to design and develope one addressing most issues people dislike with smaller campers
No propane is what lost me. How can you travel without being able to run the fridge? How about the campgrounds that allow generators only during certain hours? Nice camper, but the lack of LP is a deal-killer for me.
It has a compressor fridge, they are so much better than a 3 way RV fridge! RV units only cool 40 degrees below ambient temperature, camper gets to 90 your food is only 50 degrees, spoiled. I set my compressor on 20 that's where it stays, runs great off solar !
@@duane4972 I've camped for DECADES, and in plenty of hot temps. Never have I had anything get warm. RV fridges (decent ones) have automatic temp control, what you described is how my Coleman 12V cooler works. So I stand by NOT recommending this new type to anyone. Glad it works for you.
+daddybear443 I own one and love it!! At first i did have some condensation around the bed, I used some rediflex insulation around the mattress that worked. I also just keep air moving with a small fan. haven't had problems since :)
I want one now. Im serious. My truck has 5 payments left, thats it. I love everything about this camper. It would be perfect for what i need. Everything you need and nothing you dont. A couple things i would option for are. Maybe a mini split HVAC, 2 deep cycle batteries with 500 watts of charging power. Definitely the picture window on the right and left side. Upgraded ceiling vent fan with remote and rain sensor. HD TV antenna on the roof ,nondirectional. Instead of the jacknife couch. A double recliner love seats. I will do my own TV and audio system. Or TVs. ??? Maybe even a very large star gazzing picture curved window over the bed for shure with screen and a black out shade.
Looks awesome, but I'm wondering how much weight those solid oak cabinets weigh?? I'm surprised they used such heavy wood. But weight aside, these look amazing!!!
I was just thinking the same.. You can throw in aluminum cabinets to lessen the weight.. or even use what this one guy uses.. Plastic cardboard/Political Candidates Signs for his shelves.. he makes his entire camper out of them. said it weighs no more than 10lbs all together.
Lots of great ideas. I'd prefer another kitchen window instead of a flat screen TV. The only thing I would have liked to see are solar panels on the roof that could charge a sealed AGM type battery as an option instead of using a generator for power.
