A remarkable piece of Aussie ingenuity. The guy in the video is the guy that designed it, and you can see he's justifiably proud of it.

I'm sure HeySal would love one of these when she's on one of her rockhound expeditions.

  • That is pretty cool. Wouldn't mind having one myself.
  • EXPENSIVE! And the STANDS don't seem to really have support on either side, so wildlife could create a problem.

    • I love it - reminds me of a popup camper we had years ago - we got fancier ones later but the popup was always my favorite.

      Big benefit in being able to use truck and leave the camper setup. Didn't look for the price - I'm sure it's quite high but it's a really nicely designed camper. I love in in/out access to the storage - looks very sturdy, too.

  • That thing rocks... heck, I could use that on my fishing expeditions.

    As others stated, I found the in/out accesses quite ingenious, as is the ability to drive off and leave camp set up, provides a huge benefit. I mean considering the costs of some of the fancier RV/buses being upwards of $250k here in the US, I don't think it's that over-priced. Plus, luxury items are always pricy, are they not?

    That guy seemingly thought of everything. Wouldn't mind taking a cross country road trip in that thing, so long as I can trailer a boat behind it... add in a satellite dish for internet, and a flat screen tv, and I'd never come home, lol.
  • And you would be right. My website's 2nd annual meet up in the Black Desert this summer would be just extremely comfy in that thing. Guess I'll just be crashing in the back of my jeep and cooking over fire like usual. As long as I can make coffee, I'll survive it.

    • I think for both Sal and I - if you gave us each one of those ...we'd disappear into the woods, desert or hills with our dogs and you'd seldom hear from us again. Good way to get rid of us, right, Sal?

      The more I look at that design - the more I realize how much thought went into it. Very practical to have the fully closed and secured storage areas and the entry, etc that remains off the ground - because it's Australian made and the creepy crawlies and snakes there would be a concern for any camper.
