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.
@Jonothan Doezer because people like you would complain that it wasn't built to your satisfaction. most people say "try" or "tried" because you cant please everyone.
It's fully custom. What did you expect? Lots of people want a small, high-quality rig. Might as well ask why buy a Lambo when you could buy a semi truck? They're for different things, that's why

@Stan Lee actually you don't see me at all. as i don't see you and your layman self. I know what materials cost as i do actually fabricate with them. your entitled to your opinion just like me. that cost is a joke for what little materials are in it compared to other travel trailers at that same cost. just a fact man. my opinion. i think that type of build is for people without the means to pull a heavier unit, as well as probably getting it in tight places. Don't get so butt hurt when someone disagrees with you.
@Stan Lee um ok what ever that means. how am i a hypocrite? you lost me there. my opinion is no more worthless than yours or anyones. you sound like an unhappy sad, angry man/ who cant deal with facts that you dont like. its ok man. you will be ok.
Great craftsmanship and ingenuity, there is storage everywhere! Love to see people remaking history to be current, beautiful and practical. The highest price for the comfort package including soar panels, custom interior and outdoor shower, to me, is fair. Having rebuilt one of these beauties myself, these additions sure add up! The storage underneath is super impressive too! Great work Armadillo!
I wish you had a layout with a bathroom inside like the Scamp 13 options. Just a thought because you may have potential buyers who are oft solo travelers and having a small bathroom is a must. And may you also offer a composting toilet option. Other than that, I'm really liking what I see.
It's great to see someone who truely believes in their products and not just full of hot Air, I would buy one of these in a heartbeat just from what I have seen and this young guy deserves our support, Top Man. Great Caravan Too.
Roland Hatton 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.
Roland Hatton 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
Love seeing these fiberglass trailers continue to be out on the market. I have a Casita - very similar. Parked right next to my rig is a Boler from the 1970s - it has been everywhere in the USA, Alaska, Canada and it's still working for the owner.
I bought a fully customized Scamp Deluxe with solid oak interior, full bathroom and shower, roof a/c, furnace, dual propane tanks, Intellipower converter, stove, microwave, custom sized bed/dinette, custom sized counters and curtains, extra set of carpets, custom TV cabinet instead of a full closet, rear surround full cabinets, custom clearance lights, custom reverse lights, old school round taillights and baby moons...for a THIRD of the cost of this! 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! Literally anything I envisioned Scamp built by hand. Amazing old school craftsmen in their custom shop.
Yeah, thats what I'm saying, you can get a really nice 22' - 32' for the kind of money he wants for 13' of cramped space . With a real Queen or king size bed.
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.
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!!
True. I hadn't really checked out the price. I liked the compact size and what looks to be quality construction. I want something that will last with few problems. Being retired on a limited income my dollars must be well spent. Thank you for your good advise.
Love the trim lights and the undercarriage storage! Why did you skip the front stabilizers, especially at that price point. Cheap add and helps to keep it from rocking while moving around inside.
$30,000 for something like that, no thanks. For 15k you can get five more feet, with a toilet and shower. Compact, portable I get it, nice, I would like one, but not for 30k.
You can but in 10 years it would be worth little this may be worth something 25 years or so down the road. This is not an average trailer look at a Camp Inn Tear Drop they have no where near the room but close to the price because of the quality and materials
@@SnowbirdsRVTravelers There's in bed campers that have as much or more room with or without toilets that leave a small foot print starting at half the price. Looks are nice, but in 5 years that thing won't be for 10k after purchase.
Snowbirds & RV Travelers Magazine I get that these are top of the line materials & workmanship. However most people looking at a camper this small arent looking for top of the line quality frankly. Who buys a 13ft camper hoping to get 25 years out of it? The real downside is no bathroom. Even a wetbath is better than nothing.
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've compared many and have yet to come across one that has so much going for it. This is a unit that will still be appealing when it is 50 years old. You made a good choice.
The whole way through the video I kept asking, "Where's the toilet???" Who's going to be dumb enough to pay that much to have to shower outside and pee in the woods?!
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.
Snowbirds & RV Travelers . I'm not disputing quality of the trailers . I'm sure these are very well built . But for a 13 foot trailer it's very expensive . Anyone can get a well equipped travel trailer at least twice as large for the same price
Snowbirds & RV Travelers Casita that actually has a bathroom. But I bought a cheepo Forest River Cherokee Wolf Pup 16FQ, that has 50% more room, a walk around queen bed and dry bath! Also with a furnace, hot water, A/C, radial 14” tires with alloy wheels fill with nitrogen. All for $12,400!
Looks sharp, very well made and the underbody storage was a great idea. I could see myself in one of these, but I don't think the wife could handle the lack of an indoor shower. I know in that size it would be hard to incorporate. It is always a balance between size, weight, and cost. I wish you much luck as much as people complain about price they would still love to have one.
@@joewatts4839 Yep custom Casita type camper and the old Casista's cost more now than 30 years ago. I think they had a bathroom though. I understand it is well built and custom and only making 4 a month you do not have to sell many and have to make a living when you do. I do not know if enough will fit into this niche although old ones that are not nearly as well built but like it still sale for more than they cost new in seventies. Someone still make Casita's now in Texas not sure what they cost but just noticed they have different models some with and some without bathrooms. Look like the older ones have no clue about quality maybe someone can help are they the same company.
Single, not as young as I'd like to be, woman that travels alone, I absolutely love this camper. Would love to see a bathroom or toilet set up in it. I love the idea of an outside shower but that's only feasible in warm weather. Great job
Snowbirds & RV Travelers would that increase the weight or would it stay about the same? And you said a small SUV could pull this? I am very interested. Are these for sale now? And what state are they made in? Thank you for your attention!!
I absolutely love anything vintage, this is beautifully compact and the level of detail is exquisite. The only downfall is a toilet and I'd prefer an indoor shower but it's still beautifully designed and thought out with all the extra storage hidden underneath 😀
Old enough to say "That's Nice" instead of "#$&%@ You" and don't worry, health is a relative word to describe the rate at which we are all dying. You will be one of us some day. Have a nice day, while you are able.
I adore this. People need to understand the vintage trailers, while adorable, have SO many hidden issues (under carriage rust, stress fractures in the frame, etc.). To be able to tow it behind a simple sedan is amazing. And it’s par-for-the-course with other similar trailers.
@4:06 you mention C02 detectors. That's just people, anywhere you find a person, you will detect CO2. MAYBE YOU MEAN CO as in Carbon Monoxide? Maybe not.
One can get a HUGE used camper or travel trailer or motor home for way less money with all the features and more. Shop around. There are many thousands of them and most are clean, & in good to excellent condition. Senior's will buy them and use them so little or get sick or die and they get sold dirt cheap. Check that out, you'll be surprised and happy you did. You would be amazed at some of the quality stuff I've bought second hand over the years for cheap.
Not really...you just think you really need a toilet. Many are doing without because it makes little sense to carry your raw sewage around until you can find a dump station. You could do as Snowbirds says...get a cassette toilet. Those are pretty nifty. I have been using a composting toilet for nearly 20 years but do not recommend them for most. They are very high maintenance items IF you really want good composting action to occur.
@G Henrickson... Yeah, I used to have a van that I would live out of on road trips. Most places you go there is a toilet available. That said, I've heard some people that swear by composting type toilets as a good alternative. Not something I would want to try though.
Love, love, love that there is no bathroom in The Armadillo! It's almost impossible to find a USA trailer manufacturer who makes trailers of any size without bathrooms. Also love the custom availability. So awesome.
Yeah, I think they are trying to sell it as a family trailer. Which would be hard to do with a toilet in it since there is no room for privacy. Granted, trying to sell anything this small as a family camping item is silly to begin with.
Obviously a lot of thought and tlc has gone into this beautiful yet simple creation. I see this as a great thing for cyclists needing a sag wagon - tours, races, long rides..it'd be just great . Id love to sell shaved ice out of it 💖 The only thing is a piss pot should be in it ..even if a tiny place to sqeeze the lemon - without that your pricepoint is gonna kill ya. Still beautiful !
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".
www.kccommunictions.ca Nobody In their right mind would pay any more than 8 grand for that thing. For all we know, you are the tweaker salesman because who the hell else would encourage paying more for this crap?
Neat and compact vintage style camper with the modern environment included! I wish we could have such a "fifties trailer" also here in Scandinavia too!👍
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
Jist bought a 2001 cougar 32 goose neck. For $4500 today. Its nicer then most single wide houses. For the other $15500 I could go buy a nice diesel truck.
great to see a canadian company building an affordable, well thought out and designed unit. can’t wait to see one in the flesh! nice job you guys, keep it up!
Twenty nine THOUSAND...Whats that in American dollars? Forget it $23,000 US dollars? Do you realize what kind of trailers you can get for that much money?
I was actually surprised by how low the price was, when considering some of the competition for a high-end fiberglass trailer. This trailer is extremely similar to the Airstream NEST in design, which costs roughly twice the price of the Armadillo, though the NEST does include a bathroom. But Airstream also won't customize the trailer to meet a customer's specific requests.
For that price, you can get a slightly used 16ft. Airstream with higher-end finishes- one that has already depreciated, but that retains its overall value.
Yes, the greed today is unreal. Poor working men could afford the ones built in Winnipeg they were 1500 dollars back then and in inflation, this should be 15 grand max. Then an average guy could buy one. Everything today is only for the rich. I wish someone would make something a blue-collar guy could afford most people are not rich why are we excluded from everything in today's world!!!! We can't even buy a tiny little box on wheels for Christ's sake they even outpriced us on this ridiculous!!!!! Next, they will have a coffin you can tow and sleep in at 10 grand lol.
10-15k would be reasonable, but 29-35k!? Ill pass! I could get a medium size trailer with showers or my dream pick-up truck for that kind of money! Cool looking, but wayyy overpriced!
@@Crosswalker2000 Dude, one could *buy* a work van and convert it over a weekend for the price of the baseline camper trailer, even after converting it from Canadian Dollars to 'merican dollars. Don't get me wrong. It's probably a fine product, but it's not a fine price-point for most people who'd be getting this sort of thing. The depressing part is that this camper is still cheaper than a lot of these stupid tiny house trailers I see in the videos youtube keeps spamming me with and genuinely better.
@@leewatson6599 Seems a bit low for USD, since ya gotta buy a halfway decent trailer and material costs add up. Multiply it by 2-5 and you've got a very realistic number
sRm Agree. For $10k I know I can find a master cabinet maker and convert a cargo trailer into something really fancy. There's a couple near me That are willing to do that. Insane skills and I have all the respect for them.
EVIL Co. For that price that service better be lip service by a hot guy!! I hardly doubt there is any service to be had with purchase..they are made one by one in his home...not a manufacturing plant...sure hand made would mean better quality but that quality here is grossly overpriced as 99% of the people commenting agree!!
An old U-haul !! Wow, I never thought of that. And you can probably get one for really cheap and if you do the work yourself you might get something like this for $10k or less.
Chris Reed ANYTHING handmade is gonna be 2x as much. If your vehicle was completely made from scratch by hand one by one how much do you think it’d be?
This product needs more publicity. I did a video on the new Nest and I'm getting at least a thousand hits a day ... and I'm not even monetized! I like the Armadillo quite a bit. I look forward to seeing the tiny beast and reviewing it. I love the cute concept. The young management team appear to be fun and creative.
I like the idea of an external shower tent. Maybe a combo shower tent and tiny outdoor living space. As you folks know, it's all in the design. Cuteness? Functionality?
We meet again good sir. Yeah, I've been looking at FG trailers more and more now. I'm glad to know I'm seeing various and certainly more affordable options. This little beast will be easy to tow. And I'm really liking everything I see here. That slide out storage is simply genius!
People pay up to $18,000 for a 40+ year old "restored trailer" with none of these innovations. That's outrageous! Armadillo trailer will still be around in 40 years. 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.
@@redgreen610 People are stupid just because some are overprivileged and lucky most people are not rich and are having enough trouble feeding their families, especially in Canada now. The war on the poor is in full effect under the dictator Trudeau and we have more homeless people than ever. Today it takes two people working full time just to get a crappy tiny house never mind any toys but all we see and hear about are the minority rich and what they buy and how great everything is BS. For most people, 32 grand is a shitload of money some make less than that in a year. If people keep buying they make it harder for the rest of us and drive prices up because these RV manufacturers know people will pay what they ask until that changes more and more people will be excluded from discovering camping at least with a RV. This is really sad that so many people are being priced out of living a happy life greed is really evil and the world has never been as greedy as it is today.
I got my hands on a small teardrop trailer once. Alot of fun as a newlywed love nest camper. Especially if you have bathroom facilities elsewhere... I love all the built-ins.. if your going open format trailer, you might just as well get a cap for your pickup and sleep back there.
Yeah, you can buy a cargo trailer this size for under $3k. And ALL of the windows, furnishings, etc... all the way up to their deluxe models, would probably only cost an extra $3k or so. Toss in some labor cost and the fact that theirs looks nice and I could see it being a reasonable deal about about $15k. Anything beyond that and larger trailers and/or other non trailer options start to look more attractive imo.
Snowbirds & RV Travelers I think the comment is irrelevant, unless your tow vehicle is a Honda Civic there is a lot more trailer out there for the money. But hey some people have more money than sense
As a person who manufactures and sells camping equipment, I can say that the tendency is for customers to buy the lowest cost that will do what they want. Right now I can sell a high quality tent for $600 or a good tent for $150. Sure I can sell some of the high quality ones, but I sell the cheaper ones at a 20 to 1 ratio!!! Most people who camp, do it 3-5 times a year, and most dedicated campers are about 10 times a year. It is cheaper to get a deluxe suite at the Westin than to buy a $30k trailer. Sure the market in California may support it in some areas, but you aren't going to sell many in Omaha. As the cost to make these things keeps going up, (and by the way thank you Trump for making them cost even more), customers are going to only buy the bottom end stuff unless they are going to practically live in one, in which case they will go class A-C, and not sink 30k into a trailer. Right now you are seeing a binge of people actually building their own teardrops as the price is just silly high to buy one.
Elouise Vanhelsing quit blaming Trump. Why does every liberal in this country that has this problem or that problem, they blame Trump? The economy is actually doing well. Just because nobody wants to purchase what you are selling, doesn’t mean it’s the President of the United States fault. Quit watching lying CNN.
What's the point of going small when the price tag stays big?
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.
Exactly!! Most everything is at least double what its worth.
quality, light weight. Not everyone wants a giant trailer with them just because they can afford buy one

You can but in 10 years it would be worth little this may be worth something 25 years or so down the road. This is not an average trailer look at a Camp Inn Tear Drop they have no where near the room but close to the price because of the quality and materials
8k maybe
@@SnowbirdsRVTravelers There's in bed campers that have as much or more room with or without toilets that leave a small foot print starting at half the price. Looks are nice, but in 5 years that thing won't be for 10k after purchase.
Snowbirds & RV Travelers Magazine I get that these are top of the line materials & workmanship. However most people looking at a camper this small arent looking for top of the line quality frankly. Who buys a 13ft camper hoping to get 25 years out of it? The real downside is no bathroom. Even a wetbath is better than nothing.
I just bought one of these and I'm very happy with it so far!
Where's the bathroom?!
I plan to buy one in 2 years, I will save up my money for it. I can't wait , all the fun I will have at the lake and when visiting family!!! 😊
get a scamp
Love this! Especially the drawer underneath, what a great idea!
Take out the 2 seater table and add a bathroom, $5,000 to like $8,000 total.
I agree. I'd rather have a built in bathroom and use a folding camp table and be able to take it outside also.
In that space you could do a nice bathroom.
I have no idea why people need bathrooms in their rvs.... All I need is a Bucket...
I really like this camper! You have great ideas with the under camper storage, fire pit connection, and I love the adjustable tables. 👍🏻
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.
Great to hear from someone with experience. I agree. It's tough to see how well built they are unless you get to see it in person.
I've compared many and have yet to come across one that has so much going for it. This is a unit that will still be appealing when it is 50 years old. You made a good choice.
Starting at 25k and going up to the 30s is a bit much
Nice looking product, very contact. Looks very clean and modern.
I'm impressed, great design, nice features and they look well made. Good for you to come up with this.👍
Jason Jong you are a very good presenter! Down to earth kinda guy!
Thanks for commenting - he is a pretty stand up guy.
The whole way through the video I kept asking, "Where's the toilet???" Who's going to be dumb enough to pay that much to have to shower outside and pee in the woods?!
I agree it’s nice but do a bed that drops and add a wet bath at least
I feel these days solar should be a given. Maybe when he gets better production he can lower price
I DID/THOUGHT THE SAME THING!
I was thinking the exact same thing.
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.
Was really impressed until I heard the pricing wow ! Wouldn't pay more than 20 grand Canadian for those trailers
Which fibreglass trailer like this is a better value?
Snowbirds & RV Travelers . I'm not disputing quality of the trailers . I'm sure these are very well built . But for a 13 foot trailer it's very expensive . Anyone can get a well equipped travel trailer at least twice as large for the same price
Casita.
Snowbirds & RV Travelers Casita that actually has a bathroom. But I bought a cheepo Forest River Cherokee Wolf Pup 16FQ, that has 50% more room, a walk around queen bed and dry bath! Also with a furnace, hot water, A/C, radial 14” tires with alloy wheels fill with nitrogen. All for $12,400!
K. R. V. . My point exactly !
Looks sharp, very well made and the underbody storage was a great idea. I could see myself in one of these, but I don't think the wife could handle the lack of an indoor shower. I know in that size it would be hard to incorporate. It is always a balance between size, weight, and cost. I wish you much luck as much as people complain about price they would still love to have one.
The most I would pay for a trailer this small would be $10,000.
No A/C? No Sale.
More like $4;500with a/c they have lost their minds.
For 35k I expect a toilet, shower, sink, stove with oven, refrigerator, and at minimum a twin size bed. This is the biggest scam I've ever seen.
Exactly I know
Yeah, hes hitting pretty niche market
@@joewatts4839 Yep custom Casita type camper and the old Casista's cost more now than 30 years ago. I think they had a bathroom though. 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. Look like the older ones have no clue about quality maybe someone can help are they the same company.
Agree
Second only to VW Transporters
$35,000 is not only a joke, but it's also an insult. NO THANKS!

brain new ,buy used one for fifteen thousand
Its Canadian $ genius! Take about 10k off for US$$$!. Smh
35K Ouch!
I especially love the neon light that wraps around the outside... makes I look glam!
No air-condition 😳 this RV is useless in my country
Single, not as young as I'd like to be, woman that travels alone, I absolutely love this camper. Would love to see a bathroom or toilet set up in it. I love the idea of an outside shower but that's only feasible in warm weather. Great job
My idea - They will customize it to your taste. I would take out the two person dinette and put a bathroom in there.
Snowbirds & RV Travelers would that increase the weight or would it stay about the same? And you said a small SUV could pull this? I am very interested. Are these for sale now? And what state are they made in? Thank you for your attention!!
Enderby BC (Canada) - straight north of mid Washington state (find Oroville on a map and go north...)
Love the vintage moon caps. I'd totally get it with those and a two tone forest green and white paint job. Would match my xj nicely
I absolutely love anything vintage, this is beautifully compact and the level of detail is exquisite. The only downfall is a toilet and I'd prefer an indoor shower but it's still beautifully designed and thought out with all the extra storage hidden underneath 😀
Thanks for sharing!
Love a guy with a vision and fantastic ideas, and this Armadillo is certainly that!

It has a bathroom... it doubles as a sink.
Shit in the sink eh????
Grizzled Old Dude lol oh yeah its perfect! Youll get the sweet aroma of what you had around the campfire from the night before! Win win!
Just keep washing your dishes in the sink like normal and the larger chunks will eventually make their way through the drain holes.
I adore this. People need to understand the vintage trailers, while adorable, have SO many hidden issues (under carriage rust, stress fractures in the frame, etc.). To be able to tow it behind a simple sedan is amazing. And it’s par-for-the-course with other similar trailers.

Where is the bathroom?
Cassette toilet
In the woods.
One can get a HUGE used camper or travel trailer or motor home for way less money with all the features and more. Shop around. There are many thousands of them and most are clean, & in good to excellent condition. Senior's will buy them and use them so little or get sick or die and they get sold dirt cheap. Check that out, you'll be surprised and happy you did. You would be amazed at some of the quality stuff I've bought second hand over the years for cheap.
So , no toilet. The one thing you REALLY need ....
Cassette toilet.
Not really...you just think you really need a toilet. Many are doing without because it makes little sense to carry your raw sewage around until you can find a dump station. You could do as Snowbirds says...get a cassette toilet. Those are pretty nifty. I have been using a composting toilet for nearly 20 years but do not recommend them for most. They are very high maintenance items IF you really want good composting action to occur.

((Kallesändare
@G Henrickson... Yeah, I used to have a van that I would live out of on road trips. Most places you go there is a toilet available. That said, I've heard some people that swear by composting type toilets as a good alternative. Not something I would want to try though.
Love, love, love that there is no bathroom in The Armadillo! It's almost impossible to find a USA trailer manufacturer who makes trailers of any size without bathrooms. Also love the custom availability. So awesome.
Why?
Wait'll you get older or IBS or something...then a bathroom is non-negotiable
This has so much versatility - I want one!
I like the air streams!
No bathroom??
Did I miss that part, or its not included?
Just a cassette toilet.
Its not illegal to poop in the woods.
I love this little RV! I’m looking at their website- it says $20 grand for USA prices. Not bad for something that sleeps an entire family!
Where’s the toilet and the shower?
Those are very important to have in the armidillo.
I'm fine with the piss cup and poo bucket but the price should reflect that, the base model was 24,900 canadian
Which fibreglass trailer like this is a better value?
happiercamper.com/
Snowbirds & RV Travelers : I think you missed what was said. They are saying it isn't a good value.
24-35 is the deluxe model.
Yeah, I think they are trying to sell it as a family trailer. Which would be hard to do with a toilet in it since there is no room for privacy. Granted, trying to sell anything this small as a family camping item is silly to begin with.
Oh gosh these are beautiful! Adding it to my bucket list. I love that it's so small and super well done!
No toilet no air-condition I don't Think this Rv is good for traveling
@@meowmeowcat554 - I have a couple of porta-potties, and I don't require a/c... some of us can travel in this just fine.
This is so adorable. I want one.
Obviously a lot of thought and tlc has gone into this beautiful yet simple creation. I see this as a great thing for cyclists needing a sag wagon - tours, races, long rides..it'd be just great . Id love to sell shaved ice out of it 💖 The only thing is a piss pot should be in it ..even if a tiny place to sqeeze the lemon - without that your pricepoint is gonna kill ya. Still beautiful !
Nice, and made in Canada, very interested. Did own a Trillium trailer, so am familiar with small fibreglass trailers.
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 would pay 5 thousand for regular. 8,750 for all the bells and whistles.
Yup, out of your league kiddo , you couldn't afford a Vet either... wall mart still has tents
www.kccommunictions.ca Nobody In their right mind would pay any more than 8 grand for that thing. For all we know, you are the tweaker salesman because who the hell else would encourage paying more for this crap?
Hey. let the idiots buy it for 8 grand .
They barely use it and they try to sell for 4 grand.
There you go
What brand is that?
Neat and compact vintage style camper with the modern environment included! I wish we could have such a "fifties trailer" also here in Scandinavia too!👍
That would be cool!
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
Great comments. It would be awesome for attending classic and muscle car shows as well.
Way too expensive for what it is.
No, it's not. You aren't able to interpret facts so keep quiet.

great to see a canadian company building an affordable, well thought out and designed unit. can’t wait to see one in the flesh! nice job you guys, keep it up!
Same!
affordable I think not and no bathroom
Affordable ?
abarronboy
affordable - adjective:
that can be afforded; believed to be within one's financial means
Affordable? That was sarcasm, right?
Twenty nine THOUSAND...Whats that in American dollars? Forget it $23,000 US dollars? Do you realize what kind of trailers you can get for that much money?
yes, it is relatively small for the price but it depends what you want. some people want a small trailer...and are willing to pay for custom/quality.
I was actually surprised by how low the price was, when considering some of the competition for a high-end fiberglass trailer. This trailer is extremely similar to the Airstream NEST in design, which costs roughly twice the price of the Armadillo, though the NEST does include a bathroom. But Airstream also won't customize the trailer to meet a customer's specific requests.
Andrew Gems, yes, it should be a vehicle at that price, and with a bathroom as well.
Dusty Katz Insanity.
Keep in mind that it's water proof with no maintainence like roof goop.
Love the two piece shell. Confidence in being water tight.
Did he say 29,000.00 !?!
For that price, you can get a slightly used 16ft. Airstream with higher-end finishes- one that has already depreciated, but that retains its overall value.
Yes, the greed today is unreal. Poor working men could afford the ones built in Winnipeg they were 1500 dollars back then and in inflation, this should be 15 grand max. Then an average guy could buy one. Everything today is only for the rich. I wish someone would make something a blue-collar guy could afford most people are not rich why are we excluded from everything in today's world!!!! We can't even buy a tiny little box on wheels for Christ's sake they even outpriced us on this ridiculous!!!!! Next, they will have a coffin you can tow and sleep in at 10 grand lol.
Very nice!! The price is not bad for the beauty custom designed and all the work that goes into it! It’s well worth it!!
I disagree these should be 15 grand max.
10-15k would be reasonable, but 29-35k!? Ill pass! I could get a medium size trailer with showers or my dream pick-up truck for that kind of money! Cool looking, but wayyy overpriced!
yes its way too expensive makes no sense,
obviously out of your market, go to wallmart and get a tent...
@@Crosswalker2000 Dude, one could *buy* a work van and convert it over a weekend for the price of the baseline camper trailer, even after converting it from Canadian Dollars to 'merican dollars.
Don't get me wrong. It's probably a fine product, but it's not a fine price-point for most people who'd be getting this sort of thing.
The depressing part is that this camper is still cheaper than a lot of these stupid tiny house trailers I see in the videos youtube keeps spamming me with and genuinely better.
SlyShadow for 1000.00 you could build a cabin on a 16ft tandem trailor
@@leewatson6599 Seems a bit low for USD, since ya gotta buy a halfway decent trailer and material costs add up.

Agree. For $10k
I know I can find a master cabinet maker and convert a cargo trailer into something really fancy. There's a couple near me That are willing to do that. Insane skills and I have all the respect for them.
EVIL Co. For that price that service better be lip service by a hot guy!! I hardly doubt there is any service to be had with purchase..they are made one by one in his home...not a manufacturing plant...sure hand made would mean better quality but that quality here is grossly overpriced as 99% of the people commenting agree!!
An old U-haul !! Wow, I never thought of that. And you can probably get one for really cheap and if you do the work yourself you might get something like this for $10k or less.
Chris Reed ANYTHING handmade is gonna be 2x as much. If your vehicle was completely made from scratch by hand one by one how much do you think it’d be?
I would pay something under 5k for that.
Wow...beautiful!! Nice work. You get what you pay for and these look super thought out and well made.
This is fabulous!!! Loved everything about it. So well thought out.

I love that purple. I am in the process of redoing a teardrop trailer. I got a Jackery so it will be easier than dragging a generator around
This product needs more publicity. I did a video on the new Nest and I'm getting at least a thousand hits a day ... and I'm not even monetized! I like the Armadillo quite a bit. I look forward to seeing the tiny beast and reviewing it. I love the cute concept. The young management team appear to be fun and creative.
Thank you for your kind words:)
I like the idea of an external shower tent. Maybe a combo shower tent and tiny outdoor living space. As you folks know, it's all in the design. Cuteness? Functionality?
We meet again good sir.
Yeah, I've been looking at FG trailers more and more now. I'm glad to know I'm seeing various and certainly more affordable options. This little beast will be easy to tow. And I'm really liking everything I see here.

JMM Garza i
Robert Wood !!!!????
Price is outrageous!! I’d never spend that on such a tiny trailer 😳
People pay up to $18,000 for a 40+ year old "restored trailer" with none of these innovations. That's outrageous! Armadillo trailer will still be around in 40 years. 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.
Nope, you'll get a bigger heavier trailer and then need a $50k pickup to pull it

@@redgreen610 People are stupid just because some are overprivileged and lucky most people are not rich and are having enough trouble feeding their families, especially in Canada now.

Outrageous price.
3 foot longer to include a wet cabin (Shower and Toilet) and this would be the perfect mini-trailer.
I think that will be their next step.
The Scamp is 13 foot with shower/toilet starting at $17k.
And it's only 1200lbs
Really nice but much too pricey in my opinion.
Which new fibreglass trailer is the best value in your opinion??
Fiberglass maybe not.
I agree, really nice, but when I did the Canadian to US conversion, my jaw dropped. You can get something comparable for much, much less.
Overpriced.
30k's insane
Like it a lot ! What is the starting drive away price ?
Those things are awesome!!
Agreed!

and a bathroom???
I got my hands on a small teardrop trailer once. Alot of fun as a newlywed love nest camper. Especially if you have bathroom facilities elsewhere... I love all the built-ins.. if your going open format trailer, you might just as well get a cap for your pickup and sleep back there.
That price point is insane.... good luck but you lost me
This is worth $5000 max. $30k is a fn joke . Good luck finding a sucker to buy this lol

Fantastic! What is the price and weight?
I have a boler. This price tag is crazy!
I was so happy 😁 until i heard the price 😬
IYO, which fibreglass trailer like this is the better value?
How about 10K
Yeah, you can buy a cargo trailer this size for under $3k. And ALL of the windows, furnishings, etc... all the way up to their deluxe models, would probably only cost an extra $3k or so. Toss in some labor cost and the fact that theirs looks nice and I could see it being a reasonable deal about about $15k. Anything beyond that and larger trailers and/or other non trailer options start to look more attractive imo.
Snowbirds & RV Travelers I think the comment is irrelevant, unless your tow vehicle is a Honda Civic there is a lot more trailer out there for the money.
But hey some people have more money than sense
me too,,,
Pretty cool
As much as you appreciate your own work with this pricing your company is going to die.
What price (reasonably) do you think they need to be at, and what brand of fibreglass trailer do you think is a better trailer?
As a person who manufactures and sells camping equipment, I can say that the tendency is for customers to buy the lowest cost that will do what they want. Right now I can sell a high quality tent for $600 or a good tent for $150. Sure I can sell some of the high quality ones, but I sell the cheaper ones at a 20 to 1 ratio!!! Most people who camp, do it 3-5 times a year, and most dedicated campers are about 10 times a year. It is cheaper to get a deluxe suite at the Westin than to buy a $30k trailer. Sure the market in California may support it in some areas, but you aren't going to sell many in Omaha. As the cost to make these things keeps going up, (and by the way thank you Trump for making them cost even more), customers are going to only buy the bottom end stuff unless they are going to practically live in one, in which case they will go class A-C, and not sink 30k into a trailer. Right now you are seeing a binge of people actually building their own teardrops as the price is just silly high to buy one.
Elouise Vanhelsing quit blaming Trump. Why does every liberal in this country that has this problem or that problem, they blame Trump? The economy is actually doing well. Just because nobody wants to purchase what you are selling, doesn’t mean it’s the President of the United States fault. Quit watching lying CNN.
