RE: An Ultimate TTT - I'll Call It the HatBox

I randomly ran across this on youtube by checking out a video on the 2011
Dusseldorf Caravan Salon. [View this link later.]:

It's a French double expanding TTT. Besides being an amazing little
camping package, it fits the description of "Cute" to a "T".

Web Site: http://www.beauer.fr/2.html

Videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/MrBeauEr/videos

The 2:06 time clip has the most info. Also the slide show on the web
site is very good too.

It's amazing what they have fitted into this little beauty - it even
has a usable wet bath with a cassette toilet!

I now have a co-favorite TTT design! [The other is the Aussie Expandavan
and its cohorts.]

Cheers,
Norm/mezmo

WANT!
Ooh la la! The French! Who knew!
Also like that it has been manufactured and isn't just a concept.

Very clever mechanism!

For me, the big question is how durable the slide mechanism is going to be after bouncing down the road for a few 100/1,000 miles. Will the seals still work?

I could see that mounted on the frame of a compact pickup too!

I didn't find the price???

I don't speak German, but I think the spokeswoman said "fünfzig tausend euro" - €50,000, so that would be a very economical $65,000.

OK, I admit $6,500 would be 'economical', not $65,000. :oops:

I believe she may have said "funf und zwansig tausend" so even at 25,000 Euros it is pretty expensive.
