Intro & Question

Postby ks3h » Thu Jul 26, 2007 3:24 pm

I am from Virginia & my name is Larry. As you can probably tell by my sign in name, I am a "ham" (amateur) radio operator. In addition to the outdoors, I am an avid reader as well as a paraglider (somewhat like flying a hang glider, but with only a parchute). We fly as often as we can from a number of different places both in and out of the country.

My question : about 1-2 months ago I saw an article, I believe in one our newspapers, of a very tiny camper, which was not a tent camper, and it appeared to be smaller than the teardrop campers. It was a commercially manufactured camper, perhaps made in Europe, but I am not certain of that. On the internet it appeared to be quite nicely made and only decreased gasoline mileage minimally. If I remember correctly the cost of these was in the neighborhood of about $5,000 to $7,000, depending on the options.

It almost looked like something which could be pulled behind a motorcycle, although it was not advertised that way.

I cannot remember the name of the manufacturer and have searched the internet in vain trying to locate this. It certainly looks very interesting to me since I like to keep things as minimal as possible.

I would appreciate any assistance you might be able to provide.

Thanks

to the playground Ks3h. I am sure your needs can be met here. There are lots of different manufactures listed in the Manufactures forum

Also you might look in the Hall of Fame above to see if there is one like it.

Enjoy :thumbsup:

Hi Larry:

Sorry for the late response. Guess I need to read the forum more often. We are located near Woodbridge Va. Built our teardrop several years ago and have camped and towed it over 3000 miles to date.

We are soon going to be residents of Central Florida. Settle on the new house Sept. 14th.

Welcome to the forum, great group of people.
