What became of this concept?

[texasnielsen]

So this thing looked like a great idea and actually got off the paper and made in to a proptype. But what became of it? My searches on EP came up empty for any old threads and net searches are all several year old links now. I would have assumed there would be a market beyond niche for this idea.

Anyone here see one in person?

Nice concept. Hope you get more info.

No idea, but that is sweet

Nice idea. Weight is a issue.

I believe that prototype was made in 2011 or 2012. For a while there was a web site for it at http://www.actioncamper.com/ but that site seems to no longer exist. I haven't found any reference to any more than that one ever being built.

There is a Facebook page for it

There were like 12 built. I believe the cost was what killed them. There was one FS not too long ago if I remember and think the You Tube video is still out there on it

The site I found said $53,000 camper only.

I believe AEV had not-quite-the-same concept recently on the auto show circuit. This idea would have been a sure winner IMO. Too bad it faded into history.
