For $6,500 they'll sell a shitload of these things. For $10,000, not so much. I wonder which price is correct.

There has been a few threads about these little guys since Easter. Neat little trailers but I would still want a rack on the front for jerry cans and coolers as well as the ability to mount a rear tire carrier for a another spare. With the side opening popup it should not take much to do.

Says MSRP $10-12k.


Jesus hop-scotching Christ!!!! Really?

They do look sweet but I can go on craigslist and get a gently used coleman pop up fully decked out for like $5000.

Autoblog has more info posted. Looks like $10k is the correct price. These are just baubles for rich people at that price.

From what we can see in the high-res image gallery below, these trailers are pop-ups that fold down to a manageable size for towing. Each trailer will sport sleeping arrangements for four with one dedicated queen-size bed (the other sleeping quarters are converted from the table and couch), built-in aluminum cabinet, 110-volt power supply and a "premium canvas enclosure."

Two models will be available, the standard Trail Edition Camper and the (*cue monster-truck-announcer voice*) Extreme Trail Edition Camper. While the basic model gets 32-inch tires and 12 incles of ground clearance, the Extreme Edition ups the ante with 35-inch BFGs and a whopping 15 inches of clearance. Other suitably extreme upgrades include a beefed-up frame and full underbody skid plates.

Pricing starts at $9,995 for the regular model and $11,995 for the Extreme. Full details and specifications can be found after the break, and we highly suggest you check out our high-res image gallery below.

They said it would fit 4. Looks more like 1 or 2. Not for me I can wait.
