SylvanSport GO Camper

Post by Snafu »

I saw this really cool camper and thought I should share with folks.

Kinda small for a four person family but it would be perfect for two. A bit pricey but it is light weight and can haul extras like a bike, atv, canoes...

Yeah, I thought it was really cool and have heard of someone putting a lift on it but at that price, I could do without :o

Yuppies drive XC90s :stickwack:

Oh you said "hippie guys in their audi Q7" is suppose you could be right. However I always felt the Pathfinder was more suited for "hippies".

nah, pathy's and hippies? more like vw westy's and hippies or OLD volvo's... but the new one's are for yuppies for sure, lol.

hmm, i guess Rich and hippie really shouldn't be in the same sentence...maybe that's why i said "wannabe".

I think the new term being used now-a-days is “Hipster.”

WOW! $8500 USD is at least three times what I was expecting it to cost. Seems to be ideal for people with a small cars and big bank accounts.
Watch it! I'm keeping my eye on you.

I could buy a $900 utility trailer, put a $40 sheet of plywood on it, and a $60 tent and have the same setup for $1000.

While I agree, I am guessing the point is a very lightweight trailer for non-DIYers....in the premium category. Who'd also buy the fabric protection.
