Looks pretty sweet to me! P^
That's what I would call......spiffy. I haven't seen one set up and taken down, but that seemed pretty easy. I thought I read somewhere that someone recommended not pulling a trailer wider than the ride pulling it; that would probably rule my ride out. I don't know what the weight is, or how it would tow, but it sure looks nice.

I would like to take it to the land Between the lakes. We will see. I am all ready getting the evil eye from my sweetheart.

They sell for less than $3000.00 untill you start tacking on the extrea ...
I called today. They sell for 2,800, Winter special, $200.00 off. So now $2,600.00 If I pick up there, another $100.00 off which makes it $2500.00. Not bad I think I will get it. What ins co. should I go to for full coverage? My Ins. only gives Liability when hooked up.

At those prices, this is a business I need to get into! My opinion is that it's really neat, but I don't like sleeping with the ol' lady up against me - I have more room in the 3man tent. But for a solo rider, that would be nice. 260 lbs. plus 750 for the Harley, 220 for me, maybe 145 for the ol' lady, and 100 lbs. gear....sheesh, we ain't gonna FLY, are we? I feel loaded enough just tenting it.
Of course, we like to blast the twisties, loaded or not...P^

well I don't like it notice in the video when he sets it up he opens the door and steps right into what little storage area there is in other words there isn't any storage without unpacking and repacking every time you camp
both the my old kwik-kamp and George's aspen and anyone who owns a bunkhouse will tell you having the cargo area under the bed is great you don't have to keep moving things all over the place every time you stop

I have had my camper out 6 times and its worth every penny and I sold my little Uni-Go trailer as I cannot imangine being happier with it .
As for stepping into the trailer and storage if you only take camping gear you will be unpacking it such as sleeping bags , chairs, stoves and stuff so I dont see much problem with the storage being in the way much

My personal evolution:
Tent
Timeout
Bunkhouse
Tent
Tent and cargo trailer
Thinking hammock?
Your camper is a nifty, but not my style. If you do get a unit let us know. Many happy camps.
P.S. have a great time in LBL
