Title: Imagine the cost ...
Post by: Disco EMU on March 05, 2013, 11:58:57 AM
Some clever Kiwi has come up with this but ... it looks huge ... and expensive ... and you'd need a big camping space!

Hi,
   It is not suited to this little black duck.


Too limited in where it could go, and there would be no $$ left over to run it.


cheers

I like the photos you see as you scroll down ... the van ain't a bad idea either ... but where could you park it?

I love it when people think outside of the "norm" and come up with different ideas  :cheers:

Having said that, one of the things I like about camper trailers is that you are not towing empty space (like in a caravan). This thing has heaps of empty space BUT would definately turn a few heads at the campsite.

I like the concept it's very clever.  But it looks like a gigantic ipod dock. You could really annoy fellow campers when you crank that bad boy up ;D

Not for me  but somebody will buy it . Would be a giggle if it deployed at the traffic lights all by its self. A new meaning to " Wide Load "  :cheers:

We cart horses in things that look like this...

So I'm guessing there would be little heating in this thing so to keep warm you would probably need to pull on a woolie??

yes I also love innovation so it gets a thumbs up from me!

But innovation is nothing without practicality ;) 

So for Down Under it should swing the other way so it fits into a caravan park site where the annexe pad is on the left

In what way? I've been admiring the simplicity of the design - I reckon there is nothing there that doesn't need to be!!
 
One of the mantras that got drilled into me at uni was: "A design is perfect not when nothing else can to be added, but when nothing else can be taken away."
