Many years ago I had an old "sears"? or something aluminum box camper with a fold out & over canvas tent. My small kids and I just LOVED this old camper! Light, cheap and a home away from home. Anyway, I stupidly sold it for almost nothing and did without, except for a few tents over the years. Later, I had an OLD class A, then an old class C MH. A number of years ago I built a 4x8 TD from cubby plans. we had a great time. I sold it and built a larger TD (6.5 x 12) which the wife and I really enjoy. (even when we bring along 2-5 grand kids)
Anyway, we've been thinking of building another, but going back to our youth a lil bit. Has anyone seen "Lil Max Campers"? A throw back to the old "Apache" tent trailers. Just a tent in a box. Super light, bed in a box with some room to move around and stand up. Would even work with my motorcycle. I wouldn't pay their price or deal with the aluminum, but a wooden box is pretty quick and cheap to build. And I can get canvass sewn up here in my area. It may be time to draw up some more plans. (buy the way, mama has always loved these things when we see them. She wanted one when we went to the RV museum in Elkheart, In.)
I can't believe I havn't seen anything here regarding Lil Max or any other camper tents.
