Paul Nagy sent these three pictures of his camper. Paul said, “Thought you may be interested in the camper I designed and had built to avoid the issue depicted in the post last week.” He is referring to the slide in camper that bent the frame in a pretzel. thatProvided by H.

The expanding trailer is only a single axle?? Typical frog engineering turning a good concept into a bullshit result.
I want to see it hit a pothole.
I take a pass on the whole camping thing. had enough of that while in the army.
live out of a rucksack for a while and you soon learn what you need/want as composed of what you might have to carry. not the same.
these days, it is indoor plumbing. heat and cooling please.
although I do keep a get home bag in the truck with “stuff” I would need to get home with. food, fire making stuff, space blankets, poncho liners and a change of
clothes. spare socks. map and compass. stuff like that.
I live in the woods, in a cabin. had enough of big towns and cities already
Why I like my small travel trailer, I like my bed, I like my toilet, I like my sleep not interrupted by creepy crawlies. That is my idea now of camping.
It’s called “glamping” for a reason, CederQ…
Looking at that one interior that has the clock built into the wall is a pretty cool idea, I think I’ll bounce that one off the Wifey unit and see if we can do something like that this summer even if I am at the Maple Rise campground as the Camp Host. Easy to do, just have to find the clockworks that will go through a 1/2-3/4″ board. I can power it off the coach battery, too!
To Paul Nagy-
Well-engineered, my Friend. That’s a beautiful, well thought out unit you have there. I salute you.
You obviously are not just another pretty face.
Happy trails to you and yours.
Let’s face it, everything shown above is Glamping. Pack it in on your back or multiple backs is camping. Pretty simple really.
Thanks Paul, nice looking rig and all campers bring back fond memories of my Grampa’s camper and the many and varied times I got to sleep in it.
