That is just stupid money.
But I could see someone in a Tesla towing that in Kalifornia to some campground.

Dont drink coffee, but I like coffee ice cream.

Yep, A Tesla X would do it. 4000 or 5000 pound tow capacity depending on trim.

Or a Porsche Panamera as shown in their website photos.

I was going to buy two of them but the plastic cover plate on the kitchen counter nixed the deal.

Seriously, $140K and they can't outfit a stainless cover plate for a receptacle?:(

Re: Cream in coffee, I'm 1/2 Swede.

For the money I'll buy a class A, preferably a lightly used diesel pusher.

As to cream in coffee, I've used it in mine since middle school, not going to change at this point. I will on occasion do black with really good coffee but even then I think it's generally better with at least a little cream (though great coffee doesn't need sugar).

I am looked at by my coffee drinking friends, some of whom import, roast and grind their coffee beans; as a bit contrary and ruining a good cup of coffee. I of course tease them for being coffee snobs.

Just good natured ribbing.

Still I was not overwhelmed by the shape of the TT. But again, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

What does age have to do with cream in the coffee?? I'm missing something here. I still drink mine black -- maybe I did not get the memo that us AARP members are supposed to use cream? Darn, I hate to be out of fashion. 😉

Back on topic, I would like to be camped next to that shiny thing -- it would boost the performance of my solar panel! 😉

I cannot believe anyone would buy one new.

But what do I know, I am old and use cream and sugar in my coffee. 🙂 🙂 🙂 .

I did, too - don't feel bad. (I just use creamer in my coffee, though.)

Interesting Website.

"At 3,000 pounds lighter than a comparable length travel trailer". 2,300lbs dry, GVWR of 3,000.

"tongue weight of just 170 pounds". So much for 10% - 15% of trailer weight being on the tongue, empty.

"With a super-generous carrying capacity of 700 pounds". That does not sound super-generous to me.

19 gallon Fresh tank, no capacity given for the boiler furnace/water heater. Assume 6 gallons. 200lbs of cargo cap. is used by water. Not much left for kitchen utensils, food, etc.

"toilet has an innovative design that allows for a quick and easy removal of black water waste in a sealed container". Cassette toilet (which I personally prefer). Quite the marketing.

Interesting trailer, and looks nice inside. Odd bed, though.

Not for me, especially at that price-point. But, if they sell some, and make some money, good for them!

$137k and for $10k more you can pick custom fabrics!!! seriously. how many are they going to sell? Cant imagine they will be around long.

They were cool back in the 40`s and 50`s, but not today unless you find an original in good shape.

Door opens outward so air pressure forces it closed even tighter......non issue

While the door is unlikely to swing open due to air pressure, I'd like to see the seals that keep out a driving rain hitting the seams at 70mph.

door seals is under door that overlaps body so how will wind drive rain in the seal?

A great job of restoration and unique for sure.

It's not a restoration. It's a new unit, starting at only 137K.
I think it's a cool retro look.
