The jet pack in the second clip was far more interesting.

$75k???

No thank you. I can get a truly larger and decked out toy hauler for half that.

That is true but not what this is about... Also take note you can pull it with much less than what your suggesting... What it implies is finally a change may come to the RV industry from the simple low tech box that is the market now... Also this is just a prototype not production unit just yet and besides its German so why would it not be expensive...


Jet pack was rather different...

i was at new jersey motorsports park a couple of weeks ago and this guy had a million dollar trailer there. him and his family have their own fleet of ducatis. pretty nuts. supposedly he had sold 3 biotech companies.

75k is too expensive but cool trailer. Anyone know where to look for a great deal on a pop up. Craigslist has been horrible so far. Most dealers want way too much money for them. Might as well buy new.

Pop up could popular and warrant it. I have no idea. Thinking it would be fun to buy one and travel for a few weeks or take it to football games.

75k is definitely the dealbreaker, but then again the first VCRs cost $999, so once manufacturers start to trickle down those features into cheaper models, those prices will drop drastically.
I continue to mull over a toyhauler for my setup, but the problem I see is I can't fit both the quad and the folded-down beds in a smaller hauler like I want. It may not bother some guys to leave the quad outside while you sleep inside, but I'm paranoid about my toys. And even if you could fit it in, the smell of gas from the quad will annoy you as you try and sleep.

the terrace is pretty cool if it rained recently, you don't have to sit in the mud. The issue with this high tech stuff is that it will break and it needs power, so I think anything that can be left manual is better left manual, see window shades, door opening etc.
