The Bed Bug?

The Bed Bug seems like a nice camper.

"
We are pleased to unveil our new 2009 model BedBug!

Still weighing in at 180kg, the new updated BedBug now comes in a variety of colours, with the option of coloured mudguards, vinyl designs and different bed surfaces as well!

theBedBug has been designed to be light enough to tow with virtually any vehicle, while also being strong and maintenence free! Maybe you ride a trike or drive a Smartcar, perhaps you have a campervan and need an extra bedroom. Whatever your setup, theBedBug is versatile enough to fulfil all requirements!

Use the links to the left to see what theBedBug has to offer!

Smart Car is mentioned.

Dagnabit! Yes, it does look nice. But, when I started looking for a price I found out instead the company is British. Whatever the cost (didn't find it), shipping from the UK would probably push it over the top. It only weighs about 400 pounds too.

You've posted a number of times about various trailers. You must be looking for one for yourself, huh?

I think it would be neat to go camping with my Smart Fortwo.

I guess I was mistaken. I thought that gave a couple hundred pounds to spare. That is, assuming one doesn't have a large person in the passenger seat. But, I was just going on gut. What is the towing capacity?

BWG. Yes it's a ball. I thought we got attention with Smartie alone, multiply that by three when you have the camper on back. When we pull into a camp ground all activity stops, it's as if the Pope Mobile just pulled in.

This is our third camp trip, this time up into Traverse City (550 miles round).

Love it. A2Jack.
