Spy photo of new AT Trailer

[Martyn]

The Kamparoo features a queen size mattress...are you thinking you will retain this size Martyn? And if I remember correctly even though it's "only" a queen size mattress there are a couple inches of additional width space on either side...

Fitting a 63 inch wide queen size mattress is our goal.

I like to oogle Brads trailer, but honestly, we are very happy with our bare bones Horizon. The only thing that both my wife and myself like better about the new trailer is that awesome tent/changing room setup with optional awnings. That, for us, would be the selling point. The toilets and showers and kitchens are nice, but for the most part can be sourced later and added to the kit as need and money dictate.

I really like the tent setup guys!

deal breakers for me would be to small bed for family of 2 adults and 2 little ones

I'm in the same boat...

Maybe some slide out mattress that tucks away nicely and can be pulled out for use?

A lot of families with clamshell trailers just put cots on the hard floor at the foot of the bed for the kiddos.

yeah I figure I wont see a wide bed anytime soon

our little ones chances are will want to climb in with us

would be nice though if it could be done and remain narrow I keep thinking of a dinning room table theory of a leave that is below the main and you pull out the two halves and a center pops up then the canvas would just be made to be that wider width
downsides of course would be that it might cut into the under bed storage space that is so common on these types

A pull out extra bed would be cool but your right, it would rob you of the under bed storage. I love having all my clothes stored under my bed in my trailer. Cool idea though, maybe an optional trade off for those with a need. :sombrero:

Maybe if we throw enough ideas at them we'll keep them stuck in a never ending develoment fog.:rockon:

Although we are not in the market, just bought a Chaser from you guys, and it provides just about every thing we need/want. The new concept looks like it is shaping up to be a great trailer as long as you keep the weight and dimensions proper. The last thing you want to end up with is a Coleman type "offroad" trailer. However, it looks like you are headed in the right direction. As you mentioned earlier Martyn, you guys can customize your trailers to whatever extent the buyer wants and can pay for. I suggest you minimize the base trailer. This allows the most flexibility for the buyer and opens the trailer up to a wider customer base. For the base trailer I suggest.

1. comfy matress, 4" dual density foam, no inflatable type matresses
2. The rest is open storage!

Keep the base trailer simple with the ability to mod to your wallets content.

Good luck and can't wait to see the final product!

I'm in agreement on a simple design for the base model. We can have modules that could be added in the case of water heaters, showers, etc.

A base model with provisions for easy upgrades would suit me to the Tee.

My diesel heater is a Webasto:

It works extreemly well and only sips fuel.

I think Scott has another similar diesel heater, you can check with him on the manufacturer.

How loud (or quiet) is your air heater? Can you easily sleep with it on and pumping warm air into the tent?

It depends on how hard you are running it. The more demand you put on it the higher the fan speed and more pump action you hear. Typically the pump fan starts up high and then slows down significantly. It has never impacted my ability to sleep but that may be a bourbon issue. :sombrero:

Seriously, the fan is pretty quiet and the pump is a distant click, click sound that is minimal. When you know how cold it is outside, the heater noise doesn't even exist.

Well if it's a wish list how about a Diesel cooktop to go with the heater

http://www.webasto.com.au/am/en/am_rv_cooker.html

and maybe upgrade to this heater / hot water system

http://www.webasto.com.au/am/en/am_rv_calorifiers.html

Then we just need the diesel fired toilet, but that maybe a little too big to fit.

I agree. Keep it simple and add to as needed/wanted.

That reminds me of our Arctic Fox, about the time you started getting cold you would hear the forced air heat come on and fall back to sleep knowing you would be warm soon.
