On my way home today I spotted this clever trailerImageImage

Not sure if it's a foamie, sorta kinda looks that way though. Definitely lightweight.

And built on a low "Utility” trailer ( with ramp ) ... Very COOL as the internal area can be greater than the width of the trailer ...

I built one of those 4 years ago and had a lot of great camping in it.. It was very light and comfortable! Really enjoyed it except it was horrible to pull in any kind of head wind, especially because I pull with a light tow vehicle. Sure enjoyed it though.

Notice the one photographed was built on a nice low “utility” trailer ... ;) :thumbsup:

That's looks to me to be more of a traditional sheep herders wagon with the outer shell being treated canvas only. You can see the ribs through the fabric I believe. Cool design.
