Very interesting. It's a 16 foot trailer that weighs only 1320 #s and it's fiberglass.
Thanks for sharing.

Wonder if there is enough U.S. interest if they would ever consider selling them here?

I thought about that but I think that that babe will have lots of 'swing' behind.

See below...you'll have to convert from pounds to dollars to get the equivalent.
TECHNICAL INFO AND PRICES - Dub-Box Retro Caravan
While Mister wouldn't be able to stand up innit I can imagine he'd love it cuz he has a thing for the VW Buses. In fact, we'll be visiting a VW Bus Rally over 4th of July weekend down at Twin Rivers Campground on the New River at the NC/VA border while we are camped on the ridge at the New River State Park. He's excited...over 300 VW Buses and sundry cousins.
I quite liked the other two as well on the other link.

I found a website that explains that the mold was made from two backs of v-front camper vans welded together. I will try the link,but I am on my smartphone,and it is long.

I am pulling this thread back up to the top. I thought that people would be interested in how these molds were made for this look-alike VW camper.
The link in the previous post does work.

Tried to find other threads on this. However I saw they are not being made in Oregon as well. HOME - Dub-Box USA $18K for a finished one, or you can buy a kit and finish it yourself.
