Do they still make those cars that come with a built-in tent for the hatchback? Have you ever owned one, and how was the experience of camping using your car?
I like those. Somebody makes a trailer that resembles that but I cant think of the company right now.If I were thinking about doing this, I would get something like this:
Ths nice think about the truck - you can go places with a small 4x4 that you'd never be able to haul a trailer.I like those. Somebody makes a trailer that resembles that but I cant think of the company right now.
I think people would be surprised by how far a small trailer can go with out this modification. Watch the American Top Gear: Death Vally episode. They haul some traliers pretty far on some rough trails.I don't get the logic of climbing around up in the air. The ground is a much better alternative. Attaching a tent to a vehicle just makes it hard to move the vehicle.
Smaller trailers can go anywhere a 4x4 can go if you flip the axles and raise the ground clearance and have car sized tires.
I complete agree with you ppine. I'm just guessing that it's meant so that you don't have to worry about your stuff getting all moist and wet when the rains come unexpectedly. But I don't think I would be comfortable having one with three kids camping with me in that.I don't get the logic of climbing around up in the air. The ground is a much better alternative.

A friend of mine and I came across one of those before and you're right! It was quite ugly. Pretty much saving up for a truck where I can set up my tent at the back.think it was the astec that had a tent option . back in early 2000. remember the tent as a very expensive option and the car was ugly .
i would do a small suv or pickup with cap and the tents that go on the back
