Here's a weird little.....thing...

Better images here: princesscraft.com and click on the Cricket when the page opens.
It is such an odd ungainly little pop up/trailer/toyhauler thing. The designer is from Houston with a background in architecture and design & princesscraft.com, just a bit up the road from Austin, TX in Pflugerville, is the authorized dealer. Interestingly, this dealer also carries the new Little Guy iteration of the T@B and also carries A-Liner and Chalet folding trailers and the occasional used tear drop.
I can see the appeal for college students and 20 somethings with the urge to surf, mountain bike, ski, backpack their way across the US. Kids might love it.
I keep looking at it and thinking it is an AutoCad adventure while high on LSD; somebody fell down the rabbithole.

That thing is pretty cool looking! At first glance I didnt realize how big it was. It almost dwarfs that minivan.

I filled out the form to get to the pricing page.... $14k + options. Pretty pricey for a small trailer, but probably worth it if you can afford it.

I did not see a floor plan, but it looks to be no more than 5 feet wide. Did you see a weight?

The second page of that pdf link give some dimensions - 6'-6" wide, and empty weight of about #1300. 6'-2" of interior height is nice.

Maybe its just me but the axle placement looks off. Perhaps its weight is still properly distributed though.
