Just came across this. Can be used as trailer or truck camper.

Pretty basic, but sure flexible.

That's a cool concept. I like the disaster shelter idea, or third-world country housing. If they can mass-produce and keep prices down, think of the applications in a disaster setting. The house-boat photo was cool too.

They aren't taking orders, but even if they were, who wants one? For a TC, a basic Four Wheel Camper would be my choice.

That is a very interesting idea. Doubt it would do much as far as sales in the US, but in other countries it could do well.

That's pretty cool. It might work well as a toyhauler. Seems like you could use it as is or, put it on a larger trailer with room for all the toys.

Looks like they are trying to sell the company or find an investor. A cool idea but with all the joints I would be very worried about leakage.

Looks kinda like the result of a drunken night between a porta potty (The commercial honey buckets) and a Volkswagen vanagon .

I suspect you can purchase a brand-new, fully-assembled, ready-to-use, 8' popup trailer for less than just the shell costs...

The only thing this setup could possibly have going for it is PRICE. Very few people are willing to pay more for a camper they have to assemble themselves, and even if this is the PERFECT solution for their needs, they will make-do with something else.

Really, I hope they succeed, but I suspect that they've already priced themselves right out of the market.
