I found a 22ft Jayco, 2017, and it is very nice for 12k, this guy is smoking crack, sorry! You may as well just buy a truck with a cap and sleep in the back of your truck!
$10,000? Yet the website says $13,900. Lol You're joking. You can buy a small camper with all the amenities (kitchen, bath, dinette) for that price. I bought a 6x8 Runaway Rangerunner for HALF the initial cost of this gimmick and I have tons of options for mods (which I did). You cant do anything to this outside the showroom floor. I wouldnt pay more than $2,000 for this personally.
@@RockymountainRobert You are probably right about that. But... *If* I had the space and tools (wielding being my biggest obstacle)...I'd definitely like to build my own. Buy a 2nd hand landscaping flatbed. Frame it out and build it to my specs.
I could build one for 1000 bucks, man. This is just a rip off.😂 Good idea though. There was a French company that made a proper sized caravan with a similar system.
Unfortunately, it probably cost them at least 1500 for material and 1500 for building it (labor). Marketing and other expenses 2000. They are charging like 5k premiums. To me, it's worth 5500 to 7500.
30% tariff fee on everything entering the country.... and the American companies raise their prices 40%.... $ 165 an hour for labor , for a man that makes $15 an hour.
The price is definitely a deal-killer for me, but other than that it's a great idea. All the people making negative comments are comparing apples with oranges. Sure, you can DIY something yourself for a lot less, and the things you're describing would also weigh several times what this does and take up at least 4 times the space. Could you DIY something EXACTLY like this? I strongly doubt it.
Very cool, but with all the other options out there I would say 10K is too much. I am not sure why this would cost more than 5K. I think American based companies need to work on profit margins for pricing. If you are new, start reasonable and then work your way up toward 300% margins.
I bet towing it is a pain in the butt. Bouncing is definitely going to be a problem for something this small. 10,000 is way to expensive for something like this.
Not sure if you watched whole vid.. They were working in a small shop. They are ordering parts as needed so there is really no volume in anything they are doing currently. It's going to be expensive for a while.
Oh, I have believe me. But in the middle of the night when there are bears prowling around. And you’ve gotten your tent ripped by a bear I would rather stay inside somewhere where I won’t get surprised by a bear. But if you like it, go for it.
How can anyone get excited about this? It is misnamed--not really a "travel trailer." It is nothing more than an enclosed fold up be on wheels. "We work out of a body shop" says it all. No thank you. Maybe it's someone's pipe dream, but there are much better ways to travel and camp. I have slept in the back of my station wagon years ago, I have slept in a tent in the mountains numerous times. I have owned a 20 foot dual axle true travel trailer which my growing family enjoyed for years. Then I sold the trailer and got a new tent and built a utility trailer when my children were grown. I would never spend thousands of dollars for a telescoping bed on wheels.
Yes I thought it was a little pricey. But I have two big dogs that I can't get in a Hotel room and my grandchildren live in another State. This is a great option for me to have a good night sleep when I am traveling to see them.
10 Gs is ridiculous.... people who can afford a 10 thousand dollar trailer have room to store a real trailer or RV... 10 Gs for no ac and no matress... yay...
Below this video on RU-vid is a video about a small camper that looks about the same size as the $10,000 one. It's called Runaway Camper Tour, for only $5,900. The video was posted 2 months ago. The channel is called Playing With Sticks. 😊👍👍👍 I'd say it's a real bargain!
@@PhSyCo-B-oCh i've never used or would even consider using an air mattress, i built a teardrop in 2014 and never even considered using an air mattress. but that's just me
@@vapingcat9615 again, where do you put the futon and all your other "stuff" you normally take camping "grill, cooler, lights cooking utensils, food?. they promote this as a "telescopic camper" when the only benefit is you can store it in your garage against the back wall when the season is over. i built a teardrop back in 2014 from a HF trailer, 8ft long 4 ft wide that has a kitchen in the back, 2 100w solar panels on top with a 200 Amp hour battery, 12v fridge and a place in from that carries my Honda Ruckus and a Roof Rack Pull-Out Sun Shade\tent that i can set up in under 5 min. when i travel i have the tendency to drive till i drop and when im ready to fall asleep i pull over, getout walk back about 8 ft and climb in and fall asleep, the next morning when i wake up i go around back and make myself a cup of coffee with my Keurig pull the cream out of the 12 v fridge make a nice big thermos full of coffee and i'm on my way. i built this for ~$7000 and skinned it in aluminum and had polished so it reflects sunlight and doesn't turn it into an over on the inside. this telescopic camper costs almost $10,000 and comes with nothing. mt tear drop comes with everything you need to hook up to you car (i pull it with a Honda Element") and be on your way for a day, weekend, week, month, or months (I've slept in it for up to 6 months at a time and never had a bad night sleep with minimal setup) ive camped on Magnolia Beach in Texas for 2 weeks 15ft from the water....................for free!. there are videos about the place on youtube, look at what "free beach camping" get you
@@insonh21 I’m not reading allat but I’d fit the stuff I couldn’t fit inside the tiny camper, within the vehicle pulling it. I think that’s the obvious solution.
This little contraption looks to be very unstable when driving down the highway, I’m not so sure I’d want to tow one of them, a disaster waiting to occur. Be careful, Ex- Truck driver here, so, I know a few things about stability.
Better to buy a used utility van and convert it into a mobile home. Trailers always suffer from the wiggle-waggle effect, which can destabilize the vehicle pulling it.
I could buy a new cargo trailer and have it modified for close to that price. Plus, I would not want to store my mattress in my vehicle or have an inflatable one. Definitely a clique thing.
This would be neat to eliminate the axle and draw bar and mount it to the front deck of a car hauler trailer that you can tow a Jeep or racecar on and then when you're at the track or wheeling you can expand it for resting or camping.
And my hopes were dashed when the price was given. Dashed. Though I am confident this thing is the highest in quality and craftsmanship, I just can't afford it, though it is EXACTLY what I need.
So, basically, you could buy a camper with (keep up here, folks) shower, half to full bathroom, kitchen etc... for HALF - NO WAIT - LESS THAN HALF* the price of this thing that -btw- you could build FOR LESS! ....You do the math.
@@Playswithfire3782 And then I would have to buy a Suburban to pull it. I am not interested because of the price but not everyone wants a home on wheels. This would be fine for me to go with my daughter and her family. They have a large travel trailer and a nice truck to pull it with. I could go camping with them and we could do everything together and then i could go to this for sleeping. That way I am not intruding on them. Nor does it take a lot of space at the camp site. But I agree, the price is too high for me.
Empty trailer, nothing you can live in the price is ridiculous. Every little thing you actually need is going to cost another 5000. I can't afford anything made in US its all a scam anyway.
It's difficult to imagine this thing not leaking in floods. What's the sealing system? And is the seal a long term thing or will it degrade over time and need replacing?
