OK, how about "Clever"; "innovative"; "Engineering MarveL" or the infamous "Gruntable"?

Oh, I LIKE "gruntable"!!
Gina, I'm so sorry I missed meeting you at Kennedy School when you were up here. On the afternoon everyone was there, I was going through my Bigfoot orientation at the dealership in Sandy (many miles from NE Portland). I am looking forward to meeting you on your next visit...

It's all that!
I wonder how hard it is to set up? How does it fold?

from what I can gleen from the interestingly translated pages I have seen (Which are great entertainment in themselves.. what are "Well over run brakes"?) it cranks in and out. The roof tilts slightly to open then locks in place? Thats what it looks like from one of the ad photos.
It is a walk thru! Here are some more pics I found.
What a fun thing!

" The dwelling offers place for 8 persons and sleep opportunity with its comfortable seat sofas for 4 persons. "
I wonder if this thread needs to be moved to the "Jokes" forum. What a hoot!

The roof also raises slightly for ventilation, a la Compact Junior if I believe what I saw in one photo.

Gina,
Do you really think there is enough room in there for a big foot?

Pretty cool...the downside (which is a real plus for our trailers), is the need to open it up (setup) when you want to get inside....More than once, I've pulled over to use the "facilities" in my Scamp on the way to someplace...
It definitely takes care of the need for bigger mirrors...cause the trailer is narrower than the tug

I am not sure those doors slide Patrick. It looks like they fold in instead and lay flat when it's closed.
That "Back" one isn't really a door either, it's a wall panel. You would have some interesting foot 'wrasslin' going on with the tongue there if you used it as a door.
(Of course, I wrassle my foot and tongue on a regular basis!)

While some of the translation requires some creative interpretation, this one isn't as bad as it may look at first. The common European terminology for what we call "surge" brakes is "overrun" devices, so the coupler which includes the actuation method is an overrun coupler, such as the ones from AL-KO. It's as much a regional terminology issue as it is a translation issue...

Information is good. Lack of information is not so good, but misinformation is much worse. Check facts, and apply common sense liberally.
