Yep, different.
Think there was one similar previously in a full tub trailer, this one looks even cheaper.

That is very ugly and as aerodynamic as a house brick.

Might look like  a porta potty but when the wind & rain come to camp its going to be a bit dryer .  The unit could fold down in1/2 to save the wind drag . & internal storage is a bit Spartan to say the least . Good to see another spin on " the dark side "  :cheers:

I wonder if they started life as Slip-ons for the US market on larger F style trucks - seeing how its held onto that trailer with chains and twist locks.

I wonder what goes through people's minds when they invent these things - whether they go out and actually ask people's opinions before manufacturing begins??

I also wonder who would buy one - they just look like a giant kennards toilet chained to a trailer.

It's perfect for a mobile laundromat. Fill it with water and you have a giant washing machine.

Hmm it does look a bit weird, but that's what i thought when I saw the first roof top campers on top of car and 4WD  -- Do they leave that on top their car, it looks a bit silly. etc  now look how common roof top campers are.

Just been browsing  http://www.tailfeathercamper.com.au/ O.K. these Tail Feather campers might not be that silly  --  weighing in at only 225kg  plus trailer, which they have a trailer that weighs in at 275kg   --  that a total of 500kg for what looks to be some sort of caravan, guessing the ball weight 10% would be about 50kg, now compare that with a hard floor camper, they weigh in at about 1100kg  and a ball weight of 110kg

Now what 10m caravan  can a Lancer normally pull?


Still it looks a bit weird  ;D
