Except he ripped off hundred of people of their deposits. Took hundreds of deposits & promise to build their trailers & after a few years filed bank rupt. Now hundreds of people who put down over $10,000 lost their deposit & never got the trailer they were promised. Company is closed now. He scammed hundreds of people.

I have one of the last lilsnoozy campers. Unfortunately they went under before they could become profitable! 😢 I am completely satisfied with mine...well built, well designed. Hope someone comes along and gets them back on the road. I use mine as a stationary mancave and heat it with an outside furnace which also heats the house. It is truly 4 season and no humidity problem in winter at all. Would not trade it for anything.
@Mike Zona Mike, after reading and re-reading your post/rant, perhaps a weeklong hike thru the Appalachians could clear your head. As one guy to another, she seems to have messed up your head. That mountain air does wonders for the brain cells.
For all of you that think it's too expensive please consider what you are getting for the money. This is a well thought out design built by a private company, not one of the monoliths that control everything else. Have you priced a similar sized Rpod? I think it's absolutely fantastic and will be making the short trip to St. Matthews, SC to check one out soon. Love the idea of no propane. Why would I want gas routed into my living quarters? And the idea of a home window a/c unit is just brilliant. Roof mounted units in most campers are WAY too loud for comfort. Having a compressor refrigerator is priceless as you don't have to cool it down a day ahead of time like most camper units. And just how do you do that anyway if your camper is stored at a place with no electricity? Good Lord, the toilet alone is almost worth the price of the unit! Thanks for such an innovative design!
Sorry, Rpod's a better camper overall. Having to rely on a noisy (relatively) generator is a definite deal breaker. No propane? He also never mentioned shore power of any kind or a battery? I have to carry gasoline now to run my generator, which most campgrounds have restrictions on running. Having to start up that thing would be a pain after a time, along with the frequent fill up's for the generator.
Fantastic moderator! Quick, clear, thorough, and delightfully free of the tedious hallmarks of so many other RV videos: the Rodney Dangerfield wanna-bes with their "uh"s, dumb jokes, and pondering of the obvious. This was a refreshing change!
I was excited about discovering this video and the camper....Right up until I discovered what it cost two years ago and that it lacked propane.....Guess The Lovely Bride and I will be sticking with what we've got. And by the way....Your AC unit STILL looks like a household window unit sticking out of a window.
Pretty nice little unit. Not sure how I feel about having to start up the generator to make some hot water or keep the fridge cool while boondocking. But then again, here I am in a tent cooking things with FIRE.
This is a home run. Absolutely perfect in every respect for me. I like the no propane, I already have a nice little Onan 2.2KW Micro-lite gen. Unfortunately, I don’t have the 30 G’s or whatever this baby cost. Not complaining about the price, this guy developed and perfected the perfect unit to suit my needs, but unless some unseen fortune comes my way, I’ll be admiring these from a distance. I think I’m just gonna buy one of those used beat the hell up “not to exceed 45mph” U-Hails, toss a mattress in it and get the whole thing over with.
I love South Carolina. LOL, I started to leave that as my only comment. But I couldn't help myself. I'm glad to hear that you down south selling Scituate item. Although it wouldn't do me any good. I still think it's an ingenious idea. I have a few things keeping me from getting the camper like this. Grandkids !!!!!!!
A very well designed unit, and will likely last for generations, like a Boler trailer. But no propane fridge and heat is a big problem. Most of our provincial camp sites have set generator times, and they max out at 4 hours per day. Too bad, you guys are missing out on the bulk of the market share. Yes the price is really high but I bet this is a quality product. Best of luck to the company.
, that is the coolest little camper. everything you need & nothing you don't. I would have a manual crank out awning installed and a couple of solar panels on the roof with another battery also. big led to, stereo with DVD player with outside marine speakers. hd tv antenna on the roof. very cool.
This by far is the BEST CAMPER ..EVER.....!! I love the canned campers/as well as the tear drop.........I'm NOW considering THIS....wonderfully built...little 'forever' home... ; )
I love the design but not going with propane is a deal breaker for me. I need to have a refrigerator running all the time and I need a full range, which you can't offer since you when without propane. Besides this, your trailer is beautifully designed. I love the price and the entire design. Anyway, I'll keep looking to find the camper that will meet my needs. Cheers.
no wood floors, bed, couch shower, single axle, light weight yup, i think im sold, only thing is ill buy used due to the fact ill be voiding the warranty right off the bat by lifting the suspension running a larger tire for added ground clearance and converting the all electronics to 12v including ac and head and going full solar power, i need a light, all weather, off road capable self sustained rig and this would be a great start
I have nothing bad to say about this trailer... excellent design. Right size... and it has all the amenities one would need... all it's missing is some solar panels, and a small awning for the back door.....
I loved all the features in this also but Scamp in Minnesota starting price is around 8,000 for the basic with no special features... it is also fiberglass, I have a fiber glass camper built in 1983 a Burro, I cant say enough about it only problem to date is the door has gotten a bad seal.
love the trailer.i would prefer a composting toilet.i hate dumping the port potty containers.second i would do a couple of nuwave cooktops,i would want a totally secured place for the generator.also check into a goal zero solar generator.i think these options would make the living a lot more comfortable.but like i said awesome design.just needs tweeted
I wish this company didn't go belly up because This video convinced me I wanted one of these campers. This would have been the perfect camper for me. This guy is a good salesman.
Great camper. I usually find something wrong in the first 30 seconds. Can't find anything I would change except maybe even a little smaller, not as high end and affordable to me. Dream on! Anyway best plan I have seen in years.
Looks cool. But why on earth would you design an RV with no propane. You now have to have the generator running full time just to keep the fridge cool or the heater on. That's a deal breaker.

Different strokes for different folks… being a loner, and having lived off grid in an old 12 ft Scotty for 13 years, I truly understand and appreciate the “minimalist” lifestyle. With all the recent interest in ‘tiny homes’, I know that there are many others who understand my perspective. - Of course there are less expensive units of comparable size and amenities… but for a few thousand more, why not go for QUALITY? I can see myself traveling the nation with this easy, convenient “home away from home”.
Ordered our last Aug 2017. It is a year back log. All the fiberglass campers have a long wait. They keep their value & the used ones will sell within a day or two. If you are serous about buying one, get one ordered & get in line. Somethings are worth the wait.
just wondering, is it possible to get solar panels on the roof and batteries in the front/ under the floor and possibly make it completely off the grid for power? my local campground charges an arm and a leg for electric now and id love to be able to stick it to them and go green at the same time.
Love it! But once I saw the price tag...I was disappointed. There is no way in the world I could afford this on my small budget! Rats. Love to camp...this would be awesome. Just can't afford the payment.
spydude38 Thanks! Hope the one I like the most will be priced to my beer budget without needing a lot of work on it. I am not very handy with tools anymore.
I loved this design as well. I was shocked to see they out of buisness and left customers deposits hanging. Maybe someone bring that design back with new management/owner.
Great product...I love the door aspect for the disabled the ramp. Putting that aspect in your trailer just opened the arena for others to understand that we like to camp also. I give you a thumbs up for product and a great video. Best of Luck.
This guy finally figured it out this seems to be a great camper for the size. I am still not a fan of the wet bath / toilet combo but given the size it's understandable. I'd almost give up the queen bed to possibly a queen in an enclosed shower. Overall guys seems to have it covered and clearly been an owner of a camper to design and develope one addressing most issues people dislike with smaller campers
I love good design and this is without a doubt one of the best thought out designs for small trailers I have seen. Now all it needs is the companion "roll on" pontoon boat so you can turn the whole thing into a mini houseboat. Too bad you don't read your messages! The problem with fiberglass is UV look at any boat that sits out all year and see how dull and chalky it is. Somehow you never addressed this.
No propane is what lost me. How can you travel without being able to run the fridge? How about the campgrounds that allow generators only during certain hours? Nice camper, but the lack of LP is a deal-killer for me.
It has a compressor fridge, they are so much better than a 3 way RV fridge! RV units only cool 40 degrees below ambient temperature, camper gets to 90 your food is only 50 degrees, spoiled. I set my compressor on 20 that's where it stays, runs great off solar !
@@duane4972 I've camped for DECADES, and in plenty of hot temps. Never have I had anything get warm. RV fridges (decent ones) have automatic temp control, what you described is how my Coleman 12V cooler works. So I stand by NOT recommending this new type to anyone. Glad it works for you.
This is a brilliant camper. I've done tremendous research on campers and I favor this one. It's one of the only floor plans I see that puts the large TV in front of the couch, perfect for gamers. Most other campers put the TV in an awkward viewing angle. The only thing I would have done differently is make the rear more aerodynamic to reduce turbulence Eddies from creating a vortex of drag.
I MOST SAY this is FULLY THOUGHT out design (for the GAMER) too. I am sure they could even modify it more as requested within reason for nearly any desire! I am down to just three campers now and although the stainless steel of the HIGHEr priced campers seem ok, this should run circles around lower price wishes!
Lots of great ideas. I'd prefer another kitchen window instead of a flat screen TV. The only thing I would have liked to see are solar panels on the roof that could charge a sealed AGM type battery as an option instead of using a generator for power.
Looks awesome, but I'm wondering how much weight those solid oak cabinets weigh?? I'm surprised they used such heavy wood. But weight aside, these look amazing!!!
I was just thinking the same.. You can throw in aluminum cabinets to lessen the weight.. or even use what this one guy uses.. Plastic cardboard/Political Candidates Signs for his shelves.. he makes his entire camper out of them. said it weighs no more than 10lbs all together.
He scammed hundreds of people out of their money & never built their trailers. Company is closed now with most of those people putting down over $10K deposit to never see their money again.
BBBYpsi Oh.... Much gratitude! I did not know this... Thank you for this info. Very sorry for those who lost their money. Gesh! He is very convincing. Did he ever build any of them? Was this an intentional con or was he just lousy with financial management...?
@@doreendaykin6693 I believe the guy in the video here is the guy who designed it in 2010 and sold the company to another guy in 2013 that's when the problems of it started I deliver travel trailers for a living I pick them all up from the manufacturers in Indiana and take him to all lower 48 states to the dealerships
As soon as I can purchase one I will! I’ve been to your place of business and I was indeed impressed with quality n workmanship of lil Snoozy! I use a wheelchair and have for 32 years since I was 19, hence my independence. I think adaptation to my needs would be simple with this product. Dr David
Knowing nothing...at 6"2", 255 .lbs... this one covers what I want...the only addition I would ask about is having a solar hook-up w/batteries. A folding, lightweight set of solar panels that you set out when in camp would be great - more handy than a second small gas engine generator. My wariness is that I wander OK, TXS, NM. Kansas ---winds turn over RVs, trailers, campers out here.
I like this camper. I may get one of these if I get better employment. It looks to come in handy for when IM in WV as the parking infront of the cabin can be tight and a small camper would go good to sleep in when the cabin gets crowded. And it can get cold inside during the fall season.
You need to link your site to this video so that customers can get more info if needed or to buy your trailer. Also use the h.t.t.p in the link so that it is clickable.
I dont know about this one but I have seen them that you hook a trolling motor to it, back it in the water and go fishing. I work at a campground at cant wait to see someone with one like that
I love almost everything about this. I'm a single lady and I only need a single bed. I have a lot of crafts I'd want with me and I would appreciate the extra storage. Otherwise, I love everything about this!
I want one now. Im serious. My truck has 5 payments left, thats it. I love everything about this camper. It would be perfect for what i need. Everything you need and nothing you dont. A couple things i would option for are. Maybe a mini split HVAC, 2 deep cycle batteries with 500 watts of charging power. Definitely the picture window on the right and left side. Upgraded ceiling vent fan with remote and rain sensor. HD TV antenna on the roof ,nondirectional. Instead of the jacknife couch. A double recliner love seats. I will do my own TV and audio system. Or TVs. ??? Maybe even a very large star gazzing picture curved window over the bed for shure with screen and a black out shade.
This is a fantastic little camper - you wouldn't have a dealer in Australia by chance ? I would just love one of these - just right for myself and wee dog, Ruby. So jealous!!! Alison x
Hi All, These are built in South Carolina, and are less then 20 feet long, they could put one in a 20 foot shipping container, probably about a hundred miles by truck to the port, and then its loaded on a ship. The hard part is actually where it gets to Australia, so you really need to go to your local trucking company, find out where a container would land close to you, and how it would get from the port to you. Most of Australia's population lives within 100 miles of a port, so it is definitely possible. Become a dealer, and use your knowledge to import more to sell to other people. The actual cost of the shipping leg will be on the order of a couple thousand dollars, at a guess, it would cost more to ship it overland to the west coast of the US, so, about 10% increase in cost. Thanks, take care.
+Dak Broadbent hi Alan, thank you,so much for your information all certainly worth looking into which i,will do. We have the same problem in regard to costs within Australia, so,etching are just cost prohibitive. Again, thank you for your information.
+Dak Broadbent just had another look at the video -- I was right the first time, this is a fantastic camper, love it more today than when I first saw it ! Beautiful ! Got absolutely everything one needs and can be towed on a small SUB. Love it !!!
VERY well thought out ▬ common sense RULES ! Also SEVERELY OVERPRICED ! ( 20 GRAND ! ? ! YIKES ! ) Only OTHER criticism is that the window shaker A/C should have long ago been replaced with a modern " mini split " A/C unit . . . .
Simon Lagree On the air conditioning issue I was just thinking the same thing. I would like to be you could order one and he could make that change or any other reasonable changes to satisfy their paying customers....
Well, I live forever away in Canada, but you have really put excellent thought into this. I am impressed. Everything I need without paying for the things I do not. The idea of a choice between a flat screen or a panoramic window impresses me. I would be interested as it can be parked in the city in a single garage. I could also leave it long term at a leased camping site in the boreal forest mountains on a lake. This camper seems ideal for my very limited needs. The way the waste water works is brilliant. Congratulations on your fine design.
have been looking a "tiny" trailers for quite a bit and most of them are $16-17K or so. The Forest River R-Pod 179 is almost $18K here in CA, so I am not sure that the price is too out of line if the Snoozy trailer does last. I know the slide on my neighbor's R-Pod 179 is apparently failing after 1 year, so quality is lacking in the cheaper lines. AC units for trailers need a "hard-start capacitor" and rubber vibration supports so need to ask about that AC. Otherwise, I like the design. We "wild" camp a lot so the lack of a holding tank is something to think about. I love cassette toilets, but be aware how heavy a full one is; I would need to use a cart to pull it to the restroom. Cheers, Constance
A+ for presentation and ideas, but a big fat F for pricing. Base price in January is $23,650.00. With the additional cost of options like the GENERATOR, fiberglass tongue cover, THE TOILET, microwave, bathroom fan, additional small window, SPARE TIRE and SPARE TIRE RACK, REAR STEP, mattress upgrade, reading light, etc...that brings the cost up to $28, 197.00 before sales tax. People can get something just as well built, and probably more functional, for less than that. Going with a mass manufacturer is probably a better/cheaper option when looking at mini campers.
Bought camper with minimal insulation. When temp fell unexpectedly into the 30s, rain and blowing winds...not good. Now have travel trailer insulated for Canada even though we live in S Carolina. Insulation also helps with noise reduction.
vicarofrevelwood - I agree. You can tell this builder lives in the south because he's done a great job with the air conditioner, but makes no provisions for heating the unit (with propane). Carrying gasoline for a generator is more dangerous than propane. I suspect it's because propane is heavier than air, and could accumulate in a tight fibreglass shell. It would require a sniffer etc. like the boating industry does.
I love this guy. straight to the point and with great ideas.
Except he ripped off hundred of people of their deposits. Took hundreds of deposits & promise to build their trailers & after a few years filed bank rupt. Now hundreds of people who put down over $10,000 lost their deposit & never got the trailer they were promised. Company is closed now. He scammed hundreds of people.

just wondering, is it possible to get solar panels on the roof and batteries in the front/ under the floor and possibly make it completely off the grid for power? my local campground charges an arm and a leg for electric now and id love to be able to stick it to them and go green at the same time.
This dude is awesome, he's like "this is a stupid way to do it, I don't do that stupid shit" 🤣
Being a tall man I really like everything about this camper. It's to bad when the price is crazy though.
Great camper, the under the bed access is a very good idea. Now to your web. Love this camper. Would like to own one someday.
Wish I knew about this in college... This provides more than most Dorm rooms.
This is very very nice 🔝👌💙🤘. Loved everything about this camper.
Love it! But once I saw the price tag...I was disappointed. There is no way in the world I could afford this on my small budget! Rats. Love to camp...this would be awesome.
Just can't afford the payment.
That's the price of luxury.
Menthol Queen And I got a beer budget.
denalees Wait and buy a used one.
spydude38 Thanks! Hope the one I like the most will be priced to my beer budget without needing a lot of work on it. I am not very handy with tools anymore.
denalees Is fiberglass toxic? where do I find the price of this lil' baby?
It's a great little camper, built with all the conveniences. I like it, but I didn't see a face basin. I love it just the same.
I loved this design as well. I was shocked to see they out of buisness and left customers deposits hanging. Maybe someone bring that design back with new management/owner.
I would love to see that!
Taking deposits and not providing a trailer is called theft.
Great product...I love the door aspect for the disabled the ramp. Putting that aspect in your trailer just opened the arena for others to understand that we like to camp also. I give you a thumbs up for product and a great video. Best of Luck.
little snoozy was a great idea. i hope someone resurrects the product.
@Ryan Hughes yep, they filed bankruptcy,
Someone has. It's now called the Snoozy2.
This guy finally figured it out this seems to be a great camper for the size. I am still not a fan of the wet bath / toilet combo but given the size it's understandable. I'd almost give up the queen bed to possibly a queen in an enclosed shower. Overall guys seems to have it covered and clearly been an owner of a camper to design and develope one addressing most issues people dislike with smaller campers
I love good design and this is without a doubt one of the best thought out designs for small trailers I have seen. Now all it needs is the companion "roll on" pontoon boat so you can turn the whole thing into a mini houseboat. Too bad you don't read your messages! The problem with fiberglass is UV look at any boat that sits out all year and see how dull and chalky it is. Somehow you never addressed this.
Intelligently and practically designed. Maximum comfort and convenience in a compact package. Awesome!
This guy put a lot of thought in this one. Impressive!! Would love to get this
Nice indeed. You thought of all the main issues and made the components easy to use. Great Job!
No propane is what lost me. How can you travel without being able to run the fridge? How about the campgrounds that allow generators only during certain hours? Nice camper, but the lack of LP is a deal-killer for me.
It has a compressor fridge, they are so much better than a 3 way RV fridge! RV units only cool 40 degrees below ambient temperature, camper gets to 90 your food is only 50 degrees, spoiled. I set my compressor on 20 that's where it stays, runs great off solar !
@@duane4972 I've camped for DECADES, and in plenty of hot temps. Never have I had anything get warm. RV fridges (decent ones) have automatic temp control, what you described is how my Coleman 12V cooler works. So I stand by NOT recommending this new type to anyone. Glad it works for you.
You are a GREAT salesman. Straight to the point with NO sugar.
I am scared to know how expensive this is. Its too perfect to be cheap.

Mike Zona wow . Thought I was reading a copy pasta pornhub comment.
@@JezebelIsHongry
😂
@Mike Zona WTF are you going on about
This is a brilliant camper. I've done tremendous research on campers and I favor this one. It's one of the only floor plans I see that puts the large TV in front of the couch, perfect for gamers. Most other campers put the TV in an awkward viewing angle. The only thing I would have done differently is make the rear more aerodynamic to reduce turbulence Eddies from creating a vortex of drag.
I MOST SAY this is FULLY THOUGHT out design (for the GAMER) too. I am sure they could even modify it more as requested within reason for nearly any desire! I am down to just three campers now and although the stainless steel of the HIGHEr priced campers seem ok, this should run circles around lower price wishes!
What a great trailer! Well thought out design. Like you said everything you need.
Lots of great ideas. I'd prefer another kitchen window instead of a flat screen TV. The only thing I would have liked to see are solar panels on the roof that could charge a sealed AGM type battery as an option instead of using a generator for power.
I want one. He touches on everything I wanted to know and more. I hate using a campsite toilet and shower.
Really
How much is it?
Can I have this one?
Where are you located?
Ellen Cloud $21,000 and up!
I love this pull behind. I'm not crazy about a pull behind, but I love this one.
Looks awesome, but I'm wondering how much weight those solid oak cabinets weigh?? I'm surprised they used such heavy wood. But weight aside, these look amazing!!!
I was just thinking the same.. You can throw in aluminum cabinets to lessen the weight.. or even use what this one guy uses.. Plastic cardboard/Political Candidates Signs for his shelves.. he makes his entire camper out of them. said it weighs no more than 10lbs all together.
If those are actually solid oak like he says, they would weight damn 300 pounds.
It's probably to add structural integrity.
Loved this camper!.....Brilliant design!
He scammed hundreds of people out of their money & never built their trailers. Company is closed now with most of those people putting down over $10K deposit to never see their money again.
BBBYpsi Oh.... Much gratitude! I did not know this... Thank you for this info. Very sorry for those who lost their money. Gesh! He is very convincing. Did he ever build any of them? Was this an intentional con or was he just lousy with financial management...?
@@doreendaykin6693 I believe the guy in the video here is the guy who designed it in 2010 and sold the company to another guy in 2013 that's when the problems of it started I deliver travel trailers for a living I pick them all up from the manufacturers in Indiana and take him to all lower 48 states to the dealerships
BBBYpsi thank you for the info.
What an awesome little trailer.
As soon as I can purchase one I will! I’ve been to your place of business and I was indeed impressed with quality n workmanship of lil Snoozy! I use a wheelchair and have for 32 years since I was 19, hence my independence. I think adaptation to my needs would be simple with this product. Dr David
great camper. can you get it with just a single bed and no couch?
Great looking camper sir, if I didn't have 2 small children, I would have gone with your product.
Edmonton Alberta Canada
well thought out...cheers from Canada :)
Knowing nothing...at 6"2", 255 .lbs... this one covers what I want...the only addition I would ask about is having a solar hook-up w/batteries. A folding, lightweight set of solar panels that you set out when in camp would be great - more handy than a second small gas engine generator. My wariness is that I wander OK, TXS, NM. Kansas ---winds turn over RVs, trailers, campers out here.
Looks very cool! Could pull with my Escape.
Oh I am in love with this thing. Hope they are still around in a few years when I hit the road!
this would be all I need. don't need a 40 foot fifth wheel
I like this camper. I may get one of these if I get better employment. It looks to come in handy for when IM in WV as the parking infront of the cabin can be tight and a small camper would go good to sleep in when the cabin gets crowded. And it can get cold inside during the fall season.
You need to link your site to this video so that customers can get more info if needed or to buy your trailer. Also use the h.t.t.p in the link so that it is clickable.
Ordered ours Aug of 2017. There was a 10 to 12 month back log, which is common for these type of campers. Perfect for the wife & I.
can you make it float...so u can camp and fish all in one....hell i would buy one....way cool
I dont know about this one but I have seen them that you hook a trolling motor to it, back it in the water and go fishing. I work at a campground at cant wait to see someone with one like that
Looks great. What is the weight and tongue weight. Can I tow this with my 2016 Honda CRV 4x4?
Rob Watt gross is less then 3k according to there specs on the site
robert gorby you're describing a houseboat and trailer.
Funny! I was thinking the same thing. Put some floaters on the side and that thing could float.
Simple direct. To the point. Doesn’t over explain. Great.
No option for a ceiling fan instead of air conditioner. Is the fiberglass double walled? Insulated?
I love almost everything about this. I'm a single lady and I only need a single bed. I have a lot of crafts I'd want with me and I would appreciate the extra storage. Otherwise, I love everything about this!
This video seems to have a bit too much face time of the guy and not enough overview of the camper. Very clever design.
Joseph Stokes
I want one now. Im serious. My truck has 5 payments left, thats it.
I love everything about this camper. It would be perfect for what i need. Everything you need and nothing you dont.
A couple things i would option for are. Maybe a mini split HVAC, 2 deep cycle batteries with 500 watts of charging power. Definitely the picture window on the right and left side. Upgraded ceiling vent fan with remote and rain sensor. HD TV antenna on the roof ,nondirectional.
Instead of the jacknife couch.
A double recliner love seats.
I will do my own TV and audio system. Or TVs. ???
Maybe even a very large star gazzing picture curved window over the bed for shure with screen and a black out shade.
$20k isn’t bad great design and very roomy I’d buy this before I spend $45k on a airstream nest
This is a fantastic little camper - you wouldn't have a dealer in Australia by chance ? I would just love one of these - just right for myself and wee dog, Ruby. So jealous!!! Alison x
Hi All,
These are built in South Carolina, and are less then 20 feet long, they could put one in a 20 foot shipping container, probably about a hundred miles by truck to the port, and then its loaded on a ship.
The hard part is actually where it gets to Australia, so you really need to go to your local trucking company, find out where a container would land close to you, and how it would get from the port to you.
Most of Australia's population lives within 100 miles of a port, so it is definitely possible. Become a dealer, and use your knowledge to import more to sell to other people.
The actual cost of the shipping leg will be on the order of a couple thousand dollars, at a guess, it would cost more to ship it overland to the west coast of the US, so, about 10% increase in cost.
Thanks, take care.
+Dak Broadbent hi Alan, thank you,so much for your information all certainly worth looking into which i,will do. We have the same problem in regard to costs within Australia, so,etching are just cost prohibitive. Again, thank you for your information.
+Dak Broadbent just had another look at the video -- I was right the first time, this is a fantastic camper, love it more today than when I first saw it ! Beautiful ! Got absolutely everything one needs and can be towed on a small SUB. Love it !!!
VERY well thought out ▬ common sense RULES !
Also SEVERELY OVERPRICED ! ( 20 GRAND ! ? ! YIKES ! )
Only OTHER criticism is that the window shaker A/C should have long ago been replaced with a modern " mini split " A/C unit . . . .
Simon Lagree seems reasonable for the quality and items built in...very much so
Simon Lagree On the air conditioning issue I was just thinking the same thing. I would like to be you could order one and he could make that change or any other reasonable changes to satisfy their paying customers....
Well, I live forever away in Canada, but you have really put excellent thought into this. I am impressed. Everything I need without paying for the things I do not. The idea of a choice between a flat screen or a panoramic window impresses me. I would be interested as it can be parked in the city in a single garage. I could also leave it long term at a leased camping site in the boreal forest mountains on a lake. This camper seems ideal for my very limited needs. The way the waste water works is brilliant. Congratulations on your fine design.
They went out of business and filed Chapter 7 in March of 2019. About 45 people lost their deposits.
have been looking a "tiny" trailers for quite a bit and most of them are $16-17K or so. The Forest River R-Pod 179 is almost $18K here in CA, so I am not sure that the price is too out of line if the Snoozy trailer does last. I know the slide on my neighbor's R-Pod 179 is apparently failing after 1 year, so quality is lacking in the cheaper lines.
AC units for trailers need a "hard-start capacitor" and rubber vibration supports so need to ask about that AC. Otherwise, I like the design. We "wild" camp a lot so the lack of a holding tank is something to think about. I love cassette toilets, but be aware how heavy a full one is; I would need to use a cart to pull it to the restroom.
Cheers,
Constance
Can I tow it with a BMW X3 & what is the price?
A+ for presentation and ideas, but a big fat F for pricing. Base price in January is $23,650.00. With the additional cost of options like the GENERATOR, fiberglass tongue cover, THE TOILET, microwave, bathroom fan, additional small window, SPARE TIRE and SPARE TIRE RACK, REAR STEP, mattress upgrade, reading light, etc...that brings the cost up to $28, 197.00 before sales tax. People can get something just as well built, and probably more functional, for less than that. Going with a mass manufacturer is probably a better/cheaper option when looking at mini campers.
I like this guy.. he sounds like a real straight shooter..
I love this camper!!!!
One of the best all fiberglass trailers out there really great floor plan
Love it that's how I want to camp
Bought camper with minimal insulation. When temp fell unexpectedly into the 30s, rain and blowing winds...not good. Now have travel trailer insulated for Canada even though we live in S Carolina. Insulation also helps with noise reduction.
I like everything except the No Gas Problem, I do wilderness getaways and need a Gas fridge.
vicarofrevelwood - I agree. You can tell this builder lives in the south because he's done a great job with the air conditioner, but makes no provisions for heating the unit (with propane). Carrying gasoline for a generator is more dangerous than propane. I suspect it's because propane is heavier than air, and could accumulate in a tight fibreglass shell. It would require a sniffer etc. like the boating industry does.
