I saw that one a while back when I was about to go down and get a Rascal. I don't particularly care for the boxiness.

Man, assuming I could get in that thing, I would freak with the closeness of it!

On the side it does kind of have a coffin shape.

Well, wouldn't she not be a widow if you were still alive? Or, are you planning to see lady friends in your camper?

I'm guessing, just guessing mind you, that it seems much larger once you're inside. You'all sound like someone whose just seen a smart for the first time

WarpGuy's posts send me off in search for more info dang near every time, LOL

I give up trying to find a price. Closest I found was a "call for price" ... so, I reckon it's pretty pricey.

It appears to be one of those "we make it, others distribute it and sell it. Call one of their dealers and ask for a price.

Now, where is the dealer listing?

With an interior height of only 33", and an interior width of only 36", my guess is that it doesn't quite provide the same effect as the smart does. You can't sit up in them (at least, I can't), and with that small a space, I couldn't get dressed in it, either... It would be like climbing into a rigid sleeping bag...
