Sealing all of the edges of the pop-up seems like a daunting design challenge.

Cute looking unit for sure!

If you look real close at the picture, it seems that the top section is an addition, without a way into it from inside the teardrop?
Maybe it is a kind of top tent for kids, or for hot nights with an outside entrance?

Rob that's more or less what I was thinking. Probably has a sitting are below that folds down or maybe a porta potty or it could be a standy for the Verticly Challenged, or just another way to squeeze the kids in it.

A built-in awning plus standing room? ...Clever! I'll bet most of the builders here could build that one!
Now, why didn't I think of that!

(The first one in this thread is pretty but it leaves me scratching my head for want of more details.)

Looks Photoshopped to me. There's no break line between the front edge of the raised section and the roofline, and the back edge of the raised section looks to go past the built in cabinet line on the inside, making it impossible to lower.

Someone's design dreaming, maybe?

It appears to be a box maybe 8 inches tall with fold up roof line like some of the pop-up style trailers that are out there I don't think it's photo shopped but then again you never know

What makes me think it is photo-shopped is that all of the people are looking down at the woodie.....I'd be looking up at the glass, trying to figure it out.

Just my thoughts....

I did a super zoom in and looked and the closest corner of the trailer and you can see where the wood thins out for the top half to slide up and I have looked at the reflections in the the glass and they seem to all match up...but regardless of it I think its a pretty neat looking trailer and thought I would share it with all of you to get some ideas flowing which I hope it has cause I definitely have a few but would like to see what others can come up with

Oh I think it's a great idea, and I'd love to see it in person. I definitely apologize if I offended you by my observation. As I said....it was just my thoughts.....and I sure have been known to be completely wrong before :?
