Hi honey did you do the zipper
We're the Russos j
I think that is very cool. But no way this thing is worth almost 50 grand
I love this idea, not the toilet though. I would take out the dining area and partition it and put shower and toilet in that of the caravan. Really great design with thatexception
I like that it has glass instead of some sort of soft walls in the pop up
I like all the windows and the idea that you're in a tree house w/o going outside, especially when it's very hot or freezing cold.
I've never been camping but it's 2 am and CZcams brought me here
We have been rv'ing in Australia for sixteen years. We have fantastic beaches and would take our three kids camping every Christmas. They came with us until they were 25 and we would have the best happy hours. We had a camper trailer which meant we could comfortably sleep the five of us adults. We have just purchased a new Avan which is an 'A' frame and similar in style to the one you reviewed. It is being built and hopefully we will have for Christmas for a trip to the beach just above Coffs Harbour.
+Peggy McCrystal we've never seen the Avon, but have checked out a couple of those A frames. Hope you get yours soon and enjoy the trip to the beach!
A view while you use the toilet. A must have in any trailer.
If it had a shower, I'd consider. Otherwise, I love the windows and the views one can enjoy w/o going outside.
What a great trailer. I would have never considered something this small before seeing this version. Love it.
coolest tear dropper of all time.
Coolest camper of all time. No wonder there's a waiting list.
They've thought of everything. I'm going to look at one with a complete bath. This is perfect to downsize to live in and travel across country. I love this. Thank you for Sharing.
Anxiously waiting to head east in a couple of weeks to pick up our Safari.....exactly like this one I believe! Thanks for the tour!
What a slick tear drop! I can see it would help eliminate the claustrophobic feelings for sure! ☀
We've been looking at teardrops for several months now. This video was extremely helpful!! Thanks!
Such a nicely-done presentation. Just a short intro, you were inside in 33 seconds, the filming was good, the spiel was organized and clear, almost all the questions people have asked were answered in the video. You both speak clearly and were delightful to listen to. You did a good job showing what this unit is all about. I really enjoyed looking at this.
Wendy Cutler I agree! My only critique is the use of a distortion lens distracted from the presentation. It reminded me of having vertigo.
Love all the light and window area
wow. this might be the best teardrops ive ever seen.
I’ve never seen anything more beautiful-in a compact way-thanks
It's my new favorite teardrop trailer! Very nice and great features!
I've read negative comments below about the $27,000 USD price tag...please keep in mind that this thing is less than 2,000 lbs...this means that it can be towed with a lot of common everyday cars. There is no need to buy an expensive vehicle to tow it...a big plus!
Exactly. Everyone is comparing it to 5th wheels and big campers. They are missing the point.
So just because it could be towed by smaller vehicles they should double the price? Ridiculous
@@bmarker4 No way, it's not "doubled in price" just because it can be towed by smaller vehicles. Being able to be towed by smaller vehicles, while offering so much, such as a toilet in the kitchen pantry, simply means weight is at a premium, so lighter and generally more expensive materials will have most likely been used. That's where the build costs escalate rather quickly. Doing, say a tiny house out of steel or timber framing drastically reduces costs while pushing up the weight. You generally get what you pay for :)
@@DavidS-wm9ud even if they used premium materials look how big it is! Doesn't take much to build that match box. It's definitely doubled in price being you can get something twice the size for half the price or something a lot larger with just as good of quality for the same price. They're definitely taking advantage of the market with smaller vehicles.
Bill J yea well . It’s the price of a expensive vehicle
Thank heavens you used a wide angle lens, or it would look exactly how small it is!
Great walkthrough! We are looking for something exactly like this. glad I came across your video.
WOW! This awesome!. Like the view from every side and layout.
This is one of THE BEST reviews I have ever seen, and I have spoken to a few RV/trailer centers. Thank you for the review, you both did an awesome job: great pertinent info, camera angles, demos, and presentation.
Wow, thank you AJ!
Joe Russo, how tall are you? it would help me judge space. also, shooting with a basic non distortion lens would make a big difference too.
In the video, he says he is 5'-11".
I agree. Most videos are done by RV salesman on a sales lot, and they're bad.
It's high up on my list. Those saying it's too expensive, it's hard to justify the cost if you don't see the value. My only concern is how hot it gets in direct sunlight. Absolutely love the "open concept."
Impressive! Thanks for the tour.
You guys did a really nice job with this video!!! Love it! Been wanting to see more about these so really appreciate it. What a cool trailer. Love love the Windows, had no idea it was so silent when raising and lowering. Sure wish our slides were like that! Lol!
I love the way you present your videos, this tear drop trailers are expensive now but i believe their prices will eventually come down once more people buy them, i am proud of the Canadian company that made this particular one.
+James sitati thank you! They are neat little trailers but considering the waiting list is a year out they are oversold. Unless they ramp up production, they can't sell anymore.
I love the windows. Being 6' tall I love that the roof goes up too.
That was our favorite feature!
We're the Russos
No shower no toilet - forget it.
Beth Ann
Would be a great toy for trips to state parks and remote wilderness areas. Of course not a permanent residence but still an awesome hideaway for weekends and vacations.
Awesome video! 😎👍
Thanks a lot for the tour 😀 !
You did a great job reviewing this trailer.
very cool concept but for 27k to start I want to see a better bath shower option.
Buy a sponge
I agree. They could have done more
This thing speaks to the architect in me!!! Very cool!!
This design is amazing. What a big difference. Its not for everyone but its definitely impressive
Who would want to be stuck in hotel room ,when you could be boon docking all by yourself in the woods. Nature is always the best
Nowhere in this vid did i hear him tell anyone they should buy one. If it cost too much for you then its not for you. I dont want a trailer myself, but its a cool design and I dont need to hunt for words to shit on it. Its a cool teardrop and thats that.
Thank you! We made the video to show everyone a very cool trailer that most people would never see otherwise. Glad you enjoyed the design of it and thanks for the comment :)
Shut up ppl that watch these videos way h em cause they like an and we've the prices it's. Very expensive but it's cool
@64maxpower Amen to that! Don't get why people have to always pull down good ideas! Aside from pooing in the pantry, this actually looks rather cool! As for peoples budgets, if 27 K is too much, then maybe a 10K heavy hunk of non aerodynamic "tiny house" is better suited to the budget!!
@@DavidS-wm9ud 64 maxpower. Nowhere in the video did I hear you appointed the moderator of the discussion.
don't get me wrong but this is a nice camper. with all due respect to alto. no shower no sale
The other model has a shower...
Michael Mack
Michael Mack
I've seen a LOT of Australian/British camper trailers that sell for similar prices that have NO bathroom or shower! Could be worse...
Oh come on! What's a little Funk between family. 😁 That's what cologne and perfume is for!
Re: the cost. Much better build quality than most RV’s. Well thought out floor plans. Towability. High resale. We’ve owned a T@B for 10 years and heard the same about them. We lust after this trailer!
Wow! I would love to get one of these when I retire and just travel. The tear drop travel trailer is awesome!!! Other than no shower!!
Whoaa! This is amazing. Those windows are awesome!!
i love all the windows. neat trailer
I love theses they are gorgeous! And Canadian made!
I love this one...artistic and full of light.
Man, if only they could figure out an indoor shower, it'd be perfect. Great review, btw.
There is a shower option if you want one.
We're the Russos he said indoor, i thought the shower is only outdoor the guy said in the video..
uh - I'm the guy in the video. This particular trailer doesn't have an indoor shower but you can order them with indoor showers if you want one.
***** o haha you are the guy lolol nice
Any idea if the shower is fulled walled or is it just a thin plastic sheet you pull around the short enclosure?
I have never seen a tear drop that was a "pop" up and all the windows making it even more amazing. the only thing I don't like is the bathroom. wish that was bigger. thanks for a great video
We agree on the bathroom but if it were bigger, there really wouldn't be room for much else.
***** very true! Still very cute and functional.
great walkthrough, thanks so much for sharing!
Wow...love this type of teardrop.
$27,000 that is insane!
No denying its high. But you get what you pay for. Just from the video I can see its built nice
+64maxpower
At that price it should be driveable!
64maxpower
Agreed! Do a timeshare with some friends or acquaintances?
Not insane at all. There is a one and a half year waiting period, so it seems like the price could be higher. The market determines the value, of course. Now if it was one-tenth the price, I would go for it... and could at that price.
I have a cassette toilet and they are a thousand times better than a black water tank in so many ways. You can get the SOG vent system and easy change out with a second cassette.
Wow, that is really pretty nice, I shared that with several people to check out. Thanks for sharing and great tour.
Thank you so much for your reviews. We are looking for a small trailer that we can tow with our Jeep and your reviews are comprehenive and well done. I really appreciate being able to watch all of your reviews since I can't go and see many of the trailer's you are reviewing as they are not available in my area. We LOVE the Safari Condo, and are going to do more research into it. Thank you so much for your time and trouble, this provides a wonderful service to those of us who are seriously considering a small trailer.
Your Absolutely Right All The Best 110%.
i would park that damn thing right on the beach and live there
maybe in 1856
swish007 me too !
I wasn't sold on it until he popped the top on it. While it's still not for me, (That bathroom is a joke) I have to agree with you; it would be perfect to have at the beach, top up for a great beach day/weekend.
In most places you could not do that some local 5 0 would hall you butt away. They frown on people squatting on beaches, especially in California. Same for Florida. But it does sound nice.
Palmer Cottrell its perfectly fine on Padre Island.
Price is so high you can literally make a tiny house for that amount
L M you can, but you can’t make it out of honeycomb aluminum and have it weigh this little. If you can make this cheaper with the same fit and finish I’ll be your first customer
How much are they ?
Kristie Miller start at $40k Canadian.
@@marie-joseepaulzak1936 lol you have to be kidding me! Hard pass.
there are many youtube videos denouncing the fragility of wood tiny houses, and that after few years, moving them once, and nightmare... and putting money in RV, was a much wiser investment...
I have no clue .
I came up on these mini travelers by mistake . I was just browsing. I didn't know it could be so awesome traveling and living in style. I'm disabled and can't drive. I hardly ever get out, maybe once a month or less. I live in scenic California and it wouldbe tooooooooo cool waking up in a different town every morning.. Good Morning America
Love the inside - light and spacious
That is an awesome teardrop!!
This should make Airstream jealous. I love this thing. The windows make it. I have a Jeep Wrangler that can tow it.
Yes, the windows are the key to this trailer!
I concur!
the windows make this trailer.
i'll take two, lol
We're the Russos how much do these go for? Very cool. Fiberglass roof?
Bajaheat from 35-40k
No. The unit is all aluminum sandwich with honeycomb core. Strong, light and leak tight.
Wow! I had VW bus campers for years and years and this is awesome! This is nicer than some yachts I have sailed. I will definitely check into these campers, thank you. I really like this. I have a decent Ford van that can haul this.
I know what I’m getting for my cross-country trips when I retire!
$27k buys you a lot of nights in nice hotel rooms with full amenities. :)
+HueTubeR true but this is a much different way of traveling.
or a really nice travel trailer where you aren't on top of each other, Its a great idea but for it to be pheasable for most people it would have to have a lower price.
Was thinking it seemed a bit pricey to me too. :-)
You can resale this but you can't get anything back on that $27k of hotel rooms. dont compare campers to hotel stays. You get way more freedom and better views/flexibility/miles.
buy used... also even if this thing drops 75% in value that still is better than the $0 resale value from hotels... i'm just saying you can't compare the two.
The toilet is in the middle of everything and when you use it the door has to be open!? YELLS AT FAMILY* "ALRIGHT EVERYONE ONE....OUTSIDE.... IM PRERRY DOGGIN IT.... Hussle hussle move it!!! "
*Prairie.
Hahahahahaha
Fun to look at....but so glad I'm home. Thanks for the share.
That is a beautiful trailer! I want one!
My concern about the Alto would be the ruggedness of the shell. With the two pieces sliding close to each other, I can see with rough roads, eventually they would twist and bind. I looked at it during my trailer hunting and settled on a small one piece fiberglass trailer that has performed well even on rough roads.
Kait's uncle who owns this hasn't had any problems with it and they take it on some rough roads...but I think for what you'r doing the one piece fiberglass rig is a better bet.
I am glad to hear that her uncle has been trouble free. I had a pop up for 15 years and babied it at best as possible but still the roof leaked after 10 years. With trailers being the price that they are and amount that they are used, I try hard to stay on top of potential problems. Your video gives a good review of the unit.
I would be interested in buying just the pop-up shell-- I would finish the interior the way I want it myself.
Cool for the size. Sux towing big stuff on tight, rural roads. This looks perfect for that type of thing
I love this little tear drop!
Did anyone else expect it to bash into the garage door when the top came up 😂
Sure did lol
it's really too pricey for the same cost u could get a 40footer, or practically anything else
Very cool! Love all the windows 😊
What makes this unique over others is the windows for sure.. ☺️
this cute, but way too expensive for what you're getting
michelle sweetnich Yeah, your talking about a cheap house (but still a house nonetheless) or some bigger used moterhomes options for that kinda cash
Michel Schweinsberg You haven’t gone shopping lately have you?
@@TheGrandmaster1 motorhomes*
I saw that the retractable series starts at $38k. For $18k I got a 1 year old never used 28 ft travel trailer. I love the concept, the price point is way too high for what you get though.
You get what you pay for. These are not your typical low-grade travel trailer.
$27,637 I'll buy a full size one for that price
Dude I went to the RV dealer and for 10-14k new price they have tons of options for hard wall travel trailers some with slide outs... Why would people buy this
Right. With a full size bathroom.
Yup, and you will also need a truck and the gas it takes to drive it.
Juniper Dog - If you’re spending 27 grand on one of these I think you can afford the truck and the gas...
@@lee1130fromtwitter yes and those RVs barely make it out of the parking lot before they fall apart.
Nice look at this camper that I have never seen before. You have a new subscriber!
I believe every product has it’s target market. This camper is not for me but that doesn’t mean I don’t like it. I think it’s very cool, nice and well built. Thanks for the tour😎
"Going to raise the top now"...16 hours later..."Well the top is almost up"...
😂😂😂😂😂
Literally how I felt. I’ll just get a Coleman for my Pilot
LoL 😂🤣🤣🤣
You are sooooooo patient, maybe just stay home and catch Wheel of Fortune.
Ikr, had to edit it twice too. I crank my popup by hand up and down twice before thing lowers once.
Very nice design, I always wanted a teardrop camper with a raiseable roof. I'm just not crazy about the bathroom situation; someone takes a dump in the kitchen, essentially. No indoor shower head is an issue too. The windows are nice.
Completely agree about the bathroom and one reason I wouldn't want to spend much time in this. They do have an option for a shower but our family who owns this trailer chose not to get it.
i think its too nice to even have a toliet inside, maybe it should be detachable so the cubicle with potty can be taken outside when needed a pop up screen for privacy and shield from the elements attached to it would be nice
I'd say that bathroom is for emergencies. Otherwise, get your flashlight out and hike down to the latrine (same for showers).
Just beautiful. Loved it.
That is the coolest teardrop ever!!
Well done video, but I’ll keep my Airstream Basecamp!
14k cheaper than an Airstream Base Camp and i would guess better quality given the current issues with the Base Camp...leaks, axel recall. Seems expensive yes but if you are in the market this actually has good features for the price point.
Very interesting ! Thanks for the detail.........
I love this. The windows are awesome.
They're just selling a novelty. For the money, more desirable units are available for sure!
Sherry Miller
I would have to agree. I picked up a 10 year old 25ft Airstream classic for 25k. But you need a half ton to pull it.
No way worth 27,000.00
That's insane.
Maybe 8,000.00
I think 17 is fair. They are obviously aiming to sell to enviroMENTAL types. This is America, they can charge what they want if there is the demand. I admire the innovation and design, but thank God I have more sense than to spend that kind of money on a small camper. I'd pay more and upgrade my vehicle, before I'd downgrade campers to pay more.
But this is kind of the way American youth think today- kinda backwards. I can see their scope- but I can't seem to not see that it is backwards...To each his own! God bless America!
Dmann 816 I don't think he's saying they shouldn't charge that. Just that it isn't worth it. Anyway, I'm inclined to agree with him.
I love when people declare the value of things. Thank you trailer appraiser guy.
My thoughts exactly really a joke how some people think they can really stick the arm in to see what they can get out of a person.
@@dmann8166 Dude, this rig is built in Canada. I love my country but education matters most. Get some.
This one is incredible ❤️❤️❤️
Very nice! Great walk through.
I'm gonna get this and live in there
Neat... pricey but Neat. If I had the money I would buy it... but it would be perfect for the modern Campers.
I think they really designed it for people who have money but don't want to be in the "standard" trailer and are looking for something besides an Airstream.
Got it... they are kool tho! Hopefully one day I will be able to purchase one.
Dayga Save your money and invest in your own Personal Business and a Social skills course.
And what did you read says a spelling course is needed. . idiot.
Very cool. I’d love one of these. Thanks!
That is SLICK! If there were a bigger fridge, big tanks, and an indoor shower, we could totally do that full-time. LOVE the windows!
We agree - a bit too spartan as-is to be a full time rig.
Yet sooo close. If only they could manage to include those things. Heck, I could probably even make due with the small fridge, but not the lack of an indoor shower or larger tanks.
There is a shower option they just didn't get it
special effects with the camera make it look much much larger than it really is
Dwight DAYMEN I think it's a fisheye lens
Dwight DAYMEN yes it's a fish eye lens which distorts the edges of the image (curving) while taking in a wider viewing field. It makes the inside look larger than it is. Note they don't use a fisheye outside the trailer.
Dwight DAYMEN I figure he used it so you could see everything more easily; in a camper that small there's a limit to how far you can back up to get everything in frame.
Dwight DAYMEN Duh...
Dwight DAYMEN It's a very wide angle lens.
but the toilet - that is a deal breaker for me on this and many other campers no matter the size
jmarylastone it's just too cramped to poop enjoyably.
I thought good golly I would rather dig me a hole in the woods than have my head bobbing while "I'm doing the dodo" lol bad enough when someone tries to hold a conversation in a bathroom with stalls and here they'd be looking you in the eye while they talk!!!!
jmarylastone I worked on a documentary film project for two months. There were three of us sharing one large RV. On the very first day we established a rule:that the bathroom was for pee and shower only, not for the other thing. Don't matter the size of the RV it just seems very odd to do that sharing that space with others the sound and smell no thank you. Far too many clean restrooms seems to be a Starbucks at nearly every highway offramp these days.
The other funny thing about big RVs, when you go to a show they always promote that an RV will sleep six people or eight people or even 12 people. While it's true you can actually manage to sleep eight people in a standard RV maybe a few more peoplecan sleep on the floor as well. The problem is after two days all of those people will be enemies and ready to kill each other. Cohabitation sounds great on paper but try sharing a 9' x 32' space with 12 people. Good luck!
could you imagine?? no making faces they'd be asking if you're okay LOL
@@DizzyedUpGirl yeah.... How can anyone have a relaxed poop with their head sticking out the top!!
Loved the video 🤗
I like the point that you made for jeepers. This does seem like a perfect size and yes at that price point you could buy something larger or stay in hotel rooms but as a Jeeper I would not like to do that, so this would be a much better option for us. great video and lots of good info. Thank you.
Nice but too expensive for what it brings
Look at the Airstream Basecamp trailer. It's in the same price range but has a lot of wasted space. You can't even remove the seats to take advantage of the rear door on the Airstream camper. If I had to pick between the two, I'd get the Safari, hands down.
The seat blocking the Airstream Basecamp rear door is just a cushion on a couple of small boards, and it is definitely removable so that you can come and go through the rear door. I've toured them and adjusted all the seating and tables. At $38k, pretty expensive, but cute for outdoors recreational people.
WOW, LOVE THAT POTTY CHAIR...YOU CAN FREELY WAVE TO ALL THE COMPANY AND CRAP AT THE SAME TIME, "" HEY PASS THE KETCHUP "".
Or the brown sauce and apple juice 😂
thats the coolest teardrop ive ever seen
Really nice, have fun camping.
Too expensive, but it's cute.
only sleeps 3? also the lens used is deceiving, making it look bigger than what it actualy is.
Great review. Made me want to buy one.
Wow! Im a claustrophobic guy! But after seeing this,...this is definitely for me and my family! Thanks foe showcasing it!
You're so welcome!
