This looks quite cool. Just drop it off somewhere in the wilderness and you have your instant, portable housing all set up.

I always wanted a little teardop camper for weekend jaunts

I like the idea.

It does look cool. We often discuss advancing beyond tents!

Had a 6pack cabover camper and do not recommend it, it really messes with center of gravity on the truck.

When deployed with the 104th MI I quickly ditched my tent and slept in a hole or on the hood of my humvee

That fire is really close to the door.

I always wonder about sagging over time or fixing it if it is damaged.

The article snidely mentions the similar French Tipoon camper in passing. That big cantilevered pull-out would sure make the thing feel tippy and wobbly without some sort of outrigger support legs.

Is it fireproof? The campfire is too close for my comfort.

Looks cool, but too much set up, take down. We went from tent to pop-up and loved it except for the above mentioned set up and take down.

I looked into truck campers, but if I ever have to bug out of a campsite, I don’t want to have to leave the safety of the camper to get to the cab.

My goal now is to minivan camp and I am gearing up to do just that. :)
