      This guy is OK, but he needs to revise his sales talking habits. Stop saying "We TRIED to make it this or that" or "It's SUPPOSED to be a comfortable space." If you sound like you're not positive yourself than the customer is going to take it as a negative - consciously or subconsciously.

      Kelly Kelly but the price tag doesn’t quite match what you get!! My parents bought a brand new really nice 30 foot camper that sleeps 6, has a full bathroom and has two chairs plus plenty of walk around room for less than their most expensive package! I realize people want this so they can tow it behind anything.. but that’s generally bcuz they can’t AFFORD something bigger.. this is utterly ridiculous!! You can buy a newer vehicle and a 2nd hand trailer for HALF the price of one of these!!

      We were going to buy a travel trailer for going to national parks every year. By the time you add the price of around $30,000, interest on the loan, maintenance, extra fuel towing it, and the $10 to $40 a night for a camping spot it was clear it is far cheaper to just rent a really nice cabin at $200 to $300 a night. We ended up buying a used pop up tent trailer for $4,000 for short weekend camping and just rent cabins for long trips to national parks.

    More expensive than other fiberglass campers? Yes. Better than any other small campers currently being manufactured? Yes. We bought one of these in December and absolutely love it--we are super happy we invested the extra cash instead of settling with the lackluster options and construction of some other manufacturers. Super solid work and attention to detail--and the guys at Armadillo were amazing to work with to get exactly what we wanted. We didn't want a bathroom so that wasn't an issue for us.

I even designed my own minidisc recorder/cd audio system on paper, sent them the components, and they created a custom enclosure and wired it up perfectly...for only a $50 upcharge!

      you're not going to build a new 1600 lbs 13' travel trailer for $4000. my dad gets campers and travel trailers for free but they are pretty much scrap for camping. unless you find used (fridge, stove, furnace etc) everything, its going to cost more than $4000 in material alone.

      oh, if you are talking $200 utility trailer to build your travel trailer on? you better look at the load limit on the trailer. cheapest trailers here are at Costco $600 and can hold up to about a 1000 lbs. ok for as a small toy hauler

    In the hotrod community this unit is perfect, Boler trailers are what most hotrodders look for but are hard to find these days and since you can have it custom built, it can be built to your satisfaction. in most cases this unit would have only one or two people. you could make a small spot for a portable toilet for your night time needs. I think since they have a hitch hole on the back, one could have a small platform that slides into the hitch so you are off the ground with a rod or something to support a shower curtain. the fact you can put two propane tanks on the front is great, nothing like running out of propane on your trip.
    reading comments here is mind blowing, apparently there are a lot of people who haven't looked at travel trailers since the 80's or have not looked at the actual cost of materials to build one for $2000. Remember this is an ultralight (1600-1800 lbs) not your typical 3000-4000 lbs trailer. a cheap cheap cheap queen mattress costs $600 and to get a frame from a trailer, you better find an old junk one you got for free, sand blast it then paint. oh wait that pretty much puts you at the $2000 mark unless you cheap out and dont blast it and buy some tremclad from Canadian Tire.
    at the end of the day I think the price is fair for what you get, when you compare the cost of gas you save in the long run, you spent less money on this unit then one that weighs 3000 to 4000 lbs

    The construction quality looks to be very good, but I am still happy with my "White Water Retro 155". When I was researching what RV to buy, I wanted one with all the modern creature comforts (refrigerator, A/C, furnace, stove, toilet/shower, etc.), plus it also had to fit in my standard garage (7 ft). My tiny little "155" does that, plus I can stand up in it (I'm only 5'8"). I'm guessing that your Amarillo would not fit in my garage. If anyone is searching for a less expensive alternative, there are a couple videos here on TH-cam on the "White Water Retro 155".

I understand it is well built and custom and only making 4 a month you do not have to sell many and have to make a living when you do. I do not know if enough will fit into this niche although old ones that are not nearly as well built but like it still sale for more than they cost new in seventies. Someone still make Casita's now in Texas not sure what they cost but just noticed they have different models some with and some without bathrooms.

      They have two models, armadillo and backpack. As an option armadillo can have a portable toilet that slides away under one of the seats/cabinets. Backpack has an option for a flush toilet. People buy these small campers with no toilets suprisingly often. Some models have nothing else than a place to sleep and are still popular amongst certain individuals.
      Some people really just like to have a place to sleep and cook and that is ok. You can choose to have those extra appliances or buy another trailer if you need one and the people that prefer this are not dumb.

    One of the greatest things about camping is a little discomfort. Although I admire the craftsmanship, if I had 10 million dollars, I’d still prefer to camp on a not new semi-adapted van. I’d love it most of my things had been self installed and I carried my tools everywhere. It’d give me a sense of independence a resilience that I couldn’t get from buying something expensive and turn key. I remember a time when in an F250 with a Palomino camper my son (age 8) and I got stuck in the mud. Due to logistics I had to operate the winch from the ground and my son, at that young age, had to drive (only the wheel) standing up because if not he wouldn’t see a thing. It took us like 2 hours. One of our best memories in life.

      A friend in Alberta a few years ago thought he could build off road camper trailers and sell them cheap. Many of us said good luck we tried to and by the time you start adding things up the price goes up really fast. He makes great trailers and sells them but his5k price point with way up really fast after building the first one.
      With that being said I totally understand these trailers in this video are the price they are because of the work put in and set up. Sadly if someone is selling a 10k trailer all your buying is something that is built on a Canadian tire bought trailer and made very cheaply. Like a shell with no quality involved at all.
      Over time if these guys can sell enough and explaind the operation the price should come down.

They are expensive, but hold their value over a stick built trailer which will have rotted off the road in same time interval. I am considering an old one because I can tow it with my vehicle, but covid has cranked up the prices so much, it almost makes sense to buy new. Can't even upgrade the tow vehicle right now because there aren't many to buy at a reasonable price.
