A backwards Tab! With corners!

Yes, it is VERY small!

That is an itsy bitsy teeny one!! cute !

Good find, Rob - thanks!

That really does look - in layout and shape - like a front-kitchen Tab in reverse. The weight distribution must be interesting, with that axle placement and the kitchen in back. I do appreciate the scale layout drawing, complete with dimensions!

And wow, look at that front window! Must be no rocks on the road in China...

In the South African caravans, I notice a strong trend to pop-top designs, like the Compact. That may be the bias of the person posting them, but may also reflect a need for lower air drag with smaller tow vehicles. Interesting, anyway... again, thanks Rob.

Thank's Brian, for this phrase I have understand because you cover your ahead windows!!

[Brian B-P]

Yes, my Boler has a guard over the front window, just like the Little Bigfoot in the photo. Since my windows are made of glass, I think this is a good idea. I suppose that with plastic windows it might not be as much of a problem.

But it's not just the risk of rock damage - that is one enormous window!

Don't forget the other Japanese fiberglass trailer, the T. Globe. It is only sold in Japan, though you can buy a very similar trailer in Rice, Texas.

The T Globe is made by Casita in Rice, TX. It is different from the US Casita in a few respects that are referenced in Tom's link.

I notice that the Casita for Japan has the axle much much closer to the centre (like a Euro design) than the Casita for North America. The more central placement means lower tongue load. Not surprising, but interesting...
