How cool is this idea :Y: like everything that travels our road's it might need some upgrades. As an idea this is expanding the box big time.

Does not look like there's much storage space at all and not for rough area. I was thinking the other day if I won lotto i'd get one of these:

That reminds me of a folding USB stick. Very clever.

It is clever Makka, can only see it improve from here. They've managed to put one together and no doubt have a sizeable investment in the design registrations and patents. It won't suit everyone but being new in design there will be people who just have to have one, the Jones syndrome buyers. I'll keep an eye on them out of interest, really hope they do well with it because it is clever.

 

[Mackka]

Yes RM I think they are called early innovators. The Millenniums will love them behind the Kombi.

[Dignit]

Very cool and very clever. Wonder what they'll go for.

 

[Tallstock]

The caravan weight could be "3,500 to 4,000" kgs.

 

[Occasional_panner]

Nice idea.
But front window will get smashed on first trip. Look at the stoneguards and the front panels on a std caravan, bloody dents everywhere, from your own vehicle throwing them up and passing vehicles.

The height of the deck is probably too high without rails too, bit of a fall hazard when you combine some furniture, numerous people and possibly some grog, add night time darkness and it could be a problem.

Nice concept though.

Nothing new with this concept, see this article fron Dec 2012

More bloody Caravans to contend with on our Roads..... :koala: :brokenh:

LW....

 

[Rockhunter62]

I think caravan parks might have to change their layout to accommodate this new type of caravan.

Me personally wouldn't want to take the van or the 4wd bush. Probably end up leaving them both out there.

Interesting and innovative thats tor sure but im not down with the dance deck,we go camping or bush to get back to it,my camp chair would be on the grass or preferably the red dirt over at the fire,be handy in a flash flood though.
I can picture RM up there with his bell bottoms cutting loose to stayin alive though

I cannot see that trailer unfolding itself for use at all in our usa tight state campground sites. Maybe a couple sites in a whole park may have enough room for that to work. Bad design.
