Looks cool... But for half the price, you could get this:



410 pounds empty. 1,100 pound GVWR. Wood floor. Removable polymer top. Cargo tie downs. 13" wheels.
Made better too. I'm not a big fan of the chopper gun fiberglass bin bolted to a frame idea for long term durability etc. It looks good but chopper gun spray in a mold fiberglass structures are either exceptionally heavy to address the lacking structural nature of chopper gun glass work or they simply go soft after a short time.

Chopper gun sailboat hulls hauled on trailers with stiff suspensions and bad support get damaged easily by the harsh ride from the road. Unless this bin is fairly heavy and has some extra structural components to its glass bin its not going to stay rigid and stiff for long. Not sure what the price tag was but guessing its not cheap.

I like this unit. We were looking at pop up campers not so much for the getting off the ground thing, but rather an ability to keep our stuff together so its good to go when we want to get up and go. I will look into these! I thin Wells Cargo is really well known (probably because of the funny name). While I like th aerodynamic units shown earlier in the threat I think the pricing is way too steep for a thermoplastic bubble on aluminum rails. Im also going to look at the Lifetime Tent Trailer unit as well

That is the older aka original Lifetime trailer before they seemed to have messed it up by removing the top deck and making the bed frames into singles ie smaller tent.

The older ie original tent is two queen beds after fold out - with a proper top load deck designed to hold a ATV if you chose to do that. The larger version at 6ft wide and 8ft long is called the Jumping Jack made by the same shop that builds the Lifetime trailer. Very high quality!

I would pester lifetime about getting your hands on the older lifetime trailer with the proper top load deck and larger queen beds.
