Campa Trailers

Saw this recently in a camping magazine. Fun to look at but well beyond my needs.

Yep...very neat. For $15K I might be tempted to do something else with my money.

 

:iagree: Not to mention the fact that since I never can get a tent back into the bag it came in, it would be interesting to see what that would look like going down the road after my first couple of uses.

 

Yeah, if you can't get a tent back in the bag, you'd better stay away from that thing! Damn sure wouldn't want you packing my parachute either.

I think I could have found a better spot to set up that camper though.

 

That thing is way too busy. Too many things to go wrong. I like to keep it dirt road simple myself.

 

It has some pretty good ideals for my teardrop

 

15 grand??? You could buy a nice used motor home.

 

:iagree:

 

Wow Some great ideas there...

 

Based on the ones we've seen on Ebay with the tent and other accessories, it seems $3-4K would be a good number if you really wanted something along these lines.

I agree these are very well put together, but the price seems crazy.

for 15k you could get a jeep, make it run decent, get a trailer, and a good sized tent and then have enough left over to go on a camping trip.

 

And maybe a nice used tow vehicle to get your JEEP to the mountains. (based on what I have in my JEEP and trailer and tent)

 

Check this one out,, http://www.jumpingjacktrailers.com/ wife and I are considering one for camping/hunting. I know the Liberty can tow it, but it looks like it may be too large for a CJ-5 to tow (?)

 

we have one of these http://www.marketdirectcampers.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48&Itemid=53
camper trailers are very popular in Australia

 

I took an old trailer frame
from a small tent trailer I had worn out, but any small trailer will do.
on it I built a box from 3/4 plywood, CDX
box is 4x6 1/2 and 2 feet high
the inside is divided into 4 departments, one side of the box is a long department 2 feet wide, the other side is divided into 3 departments, 2x2, 2x2, and 2x2 1/2.
It has 2 2x4 hinged tops on either side and in the front a 4x 2 1/2 top.
I use it for when we are not pulling the camper or I go out tent camping by myself. (do a week long or better trip into the desert every year.)
It carries tent and all sleeping stuff for 2 in comfort in one compartment, more kitchen stuff than some kitchens in another, misc, supplies and lanterns in a third and the long department carries an easy-up and has room for 4 five gallon bottles, and a ice chest. A small fold out table and a set of fold out shelves.
When I am by myself I put an air mattress on top of it and sleep there, when the wife is along we set out a base camp style camp under th easy-up and live the life of Riley primitive camping. It pulls everywhere I have tried to pull it and the only bad side is it is not water proof so I throw a tarp over it in the winter or when rain approaches.

I looked at all the adventure trailer websites and had a fit about the amount of money the wanted, 3 grand for a base modle tentrax is way over priced for me. At an off road show I crawled over many brands and decided that they were not as convenient as they seemed for the price they were asking so I set off to do my own which may be a bit rough looking, but after a few days on trail, a lot of your buddies start to appreciate it more and more for what you can pull out of it.

just a few thoughts

 

Yeah, I could see it being a waste here in MI, they don't let us camp off the beaten path much

 

ok ok get them today
