In looking at the picture, 2 things come to mind:
1. What the hell do they need dual propane tanks for and
2. If Dutchmen really makes that thing, I think if I were them, I'd leave the "Dutchmen" decals off.
 
It kind of looks as though it was made from parts scavenged from vehicles that were, at one time, actual working campers.  But, to each his own......Wacko

They had one of those off-road trailers in a Top Gear episode. The guys were going through Death Valley and one had a tear drop, another had a pop up and the third had one of those off-road trailers. The off-road trailer was the only one that survived and didn't get beat apart by the trails. I do wonder if they weigh more because of their ruggedness? ]]> Tue, 23 Aug 2011 09:30:13 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2027&PID=19041#19041 Rugged, off-road trailers, including a teardrop : I really like that, a place to... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2027&PID=18805#18805 Author: techntrek

  I really like that, a place to carry stuff underneath or on top as well as the tent.  Although I could do the same with an open-top utility trailer, putting a tent on the empty bed after unloading it.  ]]> Mon, 15 Aug 2011 17:21:07 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2027&PID=18805#18805 Rugged, off-road trailers, including a teardrop : Or..You could go minimalist.... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2027&PID=18790#18790 Author: furpod

I see they didn't have any stabilizers on the trailer.. That's the only thing keeping me from doing the same thing with the pod..

really..

Those Aussies are a crazy group!Big smile  On my Jeep Liberty forum you wouldn't believe what some of those guys do.  If that guy did like the others I've seen they completely water proof the camper.  Not really a bad idea.  It would keep all bugs out!

That is BAD when you are so off-road you have to be towed!  That guy pulling the camper was absolutely fearless.  (I wouldn't do that to my Pod - what kind of camper was that, anyway?)  Great video.

When I was camping in the Smoky Mts. last fall, there was one of those in the site across the creek from me.
 
 
I spoke to him, but he did not seem interested in talking about his camper.  It did get curious looks from passer-bys.
 
It is interesting but, it seems like a lot of money for a pup tent that one needs a ladder to get into.  But....to each his own.

The last time I was in Sportsman's Warehouse in Lexington, they had one of these set up..

Was a pretty good execution, if a bit spendy, for a tent trailer that could go about anywhere.. ]]> Fri, 05 Aug 2011 13:40:34 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2027&PID=18659#18659 Rugged, off-road trailers, including a teardrop : http://www.adventuretrailers.com/trailers.html The... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2027&PID=18652#18652 Author: techntrek

The Jeep replacement top that turns into a tent was interesting too.  Its the second link on the left side after you open the page.
 
These remind me of something someone else posted a while ago, maybe they are the same.
