Is there a picture of it before the accident?

Is there a picture of it before the accident? MBadgero, that is funny. :)
I think it is a very clever idea. It seems on the pricey side but still cool. I wonder if one could build something similar but at a lower price?

Looks awful, like a bomb has blown up inside it!

$14,330?!!!

I'm sorry but aero this is not. Nor is it that light.
I think the designer needs to google NASA aero truck and see what needs to be done to actually make this aero and maybe think about looks. No need for the door, etc looking like that. Put it in the rear where it belongs.
I'm designing my own and have went though the many variations and this one is ok at best.
I do aero, hydro and composites and for no more money, maybe less, this could be done in 800lbs and so aero it would lower mileage little. Just better design.

Thanks, BigWarpGuy. I think you are right, it has some clever features. But basically it is a tow-version of a VW pop-up van. I like the aluminum and composite construction for reducing weight, but this also ups the price a bit. The complex looking design has to come with complex manufacturing and I am sure this is where most of the cost comes from. And of course it has the aesthetics of the Lunar Excursion Module. I guess they are hoping that, beauty being in the eye of the beholder and all, that they find a high class of campers with poor eye sight.

I was pretty excited about this- Mojave National Preserve camping trips towing it with my Chrysler Concorde, then I saw the 14 thousand $$$$ price tag.
Oh well, I guess I'll keep on looking.

The English do it better. It's too heavy, way too expensive, and unnecessarily complex.
$2k is a good price point, 600 lbs a good and achievable weight. This one is just an expensive gadget.

By way of comparison, a brand-new Starcraft Starflyer 10 conventional popup trailer is slightly shorter, 135 pounds lighter, sleeps six, has way more interior space, and costs $5,362.

I like it, but at first glance it looks like the victim of an unfortunate fender bender - right down to the tail lights in the over lapping side panels!
