rusty78609...This lightweight travel trailer weighs only 1280 lbs. Can be towed easily by most vehicles. A LINK TO AMAZON PRODUCTS: amzn.to/2fUmRMj thanks for using the Amazon link!!!
I have a 2014 T@G Basic - no AC, no TV, no microwave, no fridge. Weight is under 1000 lbs. Some things not covered in Rusty’s video: - side windows behind the doors tilt and have screens - Zamp power connector is on the left side of the tongue box - storage under the mattress - storage cabinets at foot of bed - storage shelf over head of bed - storage in headboard of bed - 10ish gallon water tank - no grey water tank (I have a cart-like grey water tank I bought) - low enough to fit in most garages - about 6’6” in height, 7’ wide and 13’ long When the company was Little Guy, they had super service. The left wall of ours started to delaminate and Little Guy did a warranty repair at the factory, and did several upgrades at no charge. These things are great, but not for everyone. They are light and easy to tow, easy to handle by hand. I have spoken to several older, single women or widows who get these to see the country on their own. I used to tow ours with a Chevy Equinox and it tows so easy that you kind of forget the trailer is there. (I now use a GMC Sierra.) My own daughters have taken our T@G out on their own and can handle it with ease. Interior space is nice, but you have to be very efficient with storage. However, it’s not RVing, but a step up from tent camping. Like camping, you spend time outside cooking and socializing. Unlike camping, though, you have a hard walled cabin that keeps pretty warm and has a fairly comfortable queen mattress to sleep on.
Love it...but I think it is for with a buddy as a female....unless camping along friends /family places or with family...one is too much out there cooking etc if alone,,,and as other rangers have said,,,even if one pulls a toad vehicle...one can skeedadle if things got weird easier in a van or B class..but if you could afford several for all needs...This sure beats a pup tent and very cool..lol.... I am sooooo glad I have both tent and trailer and 1980 C class and Cabin and sheep wagon camping memories..and one overnight hike and sleep under tarp tent with all of us when we were all ages 9 1/2 to 2...4 girls and mom and dad 3 miles uphill up to a power plant damn and mountain lake, I am so grateful for those memories you are bringing back Rusty...thank you.
LOL..just remembered dad's famous comment...after this 48 hr overnight...and it is a NOVEL of a story. But after the dust settled and the easy fun parts outweighed the hard.....Dad said with tears in his eyes....they are all growing up and we will NEVER be able to do this again with the bears and all girls...lol...well..we just avoided that high of country under a tarp in the summer...we went to a country log cheap steak and hamburger house that night after coming down before getting to the cabin....with an out house...lol...or maybe we did have a toilet by then...can not remember....The name of the hiking place was Mystic Lake...oh one aches over how fast it goes. But I need Rusty here to really learn for MOI.
Very well designed - tempting . . . But for safety (lone senior female) I'd prefer something I can drive off without exiting the vehicle if it gets sketchy. So I'm thinking van conversion. I'm planning to view your Prius camping vids for tips as I'm considering a few days camping in my car to see if it's something I would really enjoy as much as I enjoy the boondocking vids. I want a morning cup of coffee in the woods or next to a river!
David Lorell, I've been waiting for cooler weather- it's just about arrived so I've got no excuse to put it off. Hmmmmm . . .now to find a nice isolated river or lake my Honda Accord can navigate to from So California. (Thanks for the bit of encouragement)
Doo Dah Hi, I did that with a tent! Sometimes scary going down the road from lone drivers. No Eye contact with them,they back off. If they persist,give them mad mom eye. .Camping in the Mts was great. Cook on setup fire. Stars were wonderful. Good Luck,Have fun. Plan.first.I didn't. Be flexable,truckers great,helpful. I had a cb radio. :-) .
Ben Moore I have a 2014 T@G Basic (no AC, TV and dry weight of about 950 pounds). I have towed it with a Chevy Equinox V6 which is similar to an Outback. Interestingly, I started looking at teardrops after meeting a neighboring camper with an Outback towing a much heavier (1200 lb) homebuilt teardrop. These trailers are really easy to tow and are easy to move by hand. If I hold the speed to under 65 then fuel economy only drops a couple of MPG. My daughters took ours and handled it without me being there to assist. Also, it fits in a garage. Small, a bit tight on space but great to handle. It’s really not RVing, but a step up from tent camping - still spend most time outside to cook and socialize, but sleeping is warm and comfy.
Maybe next time, familiarize yourself with the product before shooting the video? "Not sure what that is" never sounds good in a sales presentation, just sayin.
For someone criticizing a person who took their time to make this video whether a salesman or not, you might learn how to spell. It's "You Tube" not You Tub. Good grief what a dolt.

I sure am excited about the immanent arrival of your Coachmen camper Rusty. I can't wait to see YOU in it!
Good morning Bill 🌞☕ _Are you volunteering to be his camera man?_

Thank you for giving the price! 😊
You can buy solar as an accessory. And this is a 6 foot wide edition. They also fave a 5 foot wide edition.

rusty78609, Thank you!
Good morning Doo Dah 🌞☕🌵 - Yeah, those Prius camping videos are what brought me to Rusty in the first place. Got me hooked.

_Good luck and happy travels!_ 🚐

Welcome ... How much the price of caravan and how to reach Saudi Arabia
Has anyone towed one of these with a 2.5 Subaru Outback? If so how did it perform?

what do you have on order?
I meant you :) You said you have something on order, is it the TaB you were looking at a while ago?
Maybe next time, familiarize yourself with the product before shooting the video? "Not sure what that is" never sounds good in a sales presentation, just sayin.
My mistake, only video of your's I have seen. Lot of RV dealers put dmeos on you tub.
For someone criticizing a person who took their time to make this video whether a salesman or not, you might learn how to spell. It's "You Tube" not You Tub. Good grief what a dolt.
