A real camper
By Detlef Goellner (I am an Owner) on Nov 20, 2013If you're not looking for a 2nd house on wheels this little camper is great. I use it mostly for hunting and fishing trips. Unlike pop ups, this has no wobble, no set up, no issues with heavy wind or rain, toilet/shower inside very handy at night and during bad weather. Tows easily and effortlessly ... behind most V-6 vehicles such as mini vans or even a Subaru Outback.Very good off road and excellent ground clearance. Good storage. I bought mine new in 2012 and so far had no issues with anything. You will need a generator if you are in the woods and need to use the AC, TV or microwave. The heater runs on propane and works great and stove and hot water as well. Even the fridge is propane/battery or electric. Cleverly designed and maximized space. Storage underneath, under the bunk beds and under the bench as well. Easy to back up and maneuver as well due to sizeRating breakdown
