Yes Australian conditions would also be my concern.  Very compact otherwise.

My definition would be a camper van... a Jayco type thingo.  Cross between caravan and camper trailer

Personally, not really interested...

Caravan or camper trailer?
This is my take:

No canvas walls all around = caravan   :laugh:
canvas walls all around = camper trailer   ;D ;D

Is this a Camper Trailer or a Caravan ??

The way to tell is see if the owners drive at 80, go to bed at 7 and get up at 6 and talk at the top of their voice, Use generators, hate anyone under 30 and wear purple tracksuit pants made out of parachute material....

its a camper van for sure looks like a well thought out design although i especially like the part at the end when he go "that's it" implying that it was so simple mate i would have allready been into my second stubby buy the time he had set up lol
plus it looks like it would be way too long to pack up especially if it was pouring down rain

I say Brilliant. Theres a fair bit of thought gone into that. Dunno why people think it would have trouble on our roads, its not marketed as full off road but even if it was you just need to tie stuff down. Set up time is pretty quick too 1/2 hour max and most of that is done inside so who cares if its raining. With a bit more thought they could pretty much automate the shell set up.

I doubt any body could set up a camper trailer including a shower toilet and kitchen in half an hour. I recon they would be pretty popular with the jayco set and small caravan mob.

Looks good but may not last too long on our roads.

Hi,
   yep very interesting design, but is it practical?
Perhaps we take too much junk with us, but what is not shown?
Bedding: can the beds be left made up with pillows, doona etc. If not it has to be stored.
Wardrobe: could I lift it with all SWMBO's clothes in it?
Walls: how clean do the upper walls stay when they are locked down in the travel position, or do they come up covered in road grime?

I'm not condemning it by any means, a lot of thought has gone in to what is shown, so presumably the rest is pretty good too.
It is a fairly large beast even folded down, is it perhaps more practical to tow a larger volume with greater structural integrity and have more room for extra purple parachute silk trousers?

cheers

You should buy an Adventure Camper  ;D

Takes us 2 minutes to set up the camper (including the awning and kitchen) and 5 mins to set up the shower tent.

I wouldn't swap my adventure for the world ;D
