I’ve been thinking so much about camping recently that I decided to check out the options for a pop-up camper. We love the idea of camping off the ground but don’t have a truck to haul a pop-up camper so I started looking around. Coleman has come out with a cool idea, the Coleman Switchback: it’s a lightweight gear box/hauler that turns into a tent once it’s unloaded. You haul your bikes, canoes and coolers on the Switchback and then it’s your tent for the night. It’s a cool idea but man, it’s ugly (sorry, Coleman R & D peeps!) and I’m not sure it adds that much value to a regular cargo hauler. Here are a few pictures so you can see what I mean – click on the images to enlarge:
Pretty cool idea, right? I’m really into the concept and started reading online to see what people are saying about this fugly camper, and then I found it. The most unbelievably cool camper with a similar concept and what I can only describe as a funky European aesthetic (think Ikea on wheels). This supreme being is known as the SylvanSport GO and is our latest obsession. Check it out:

So okay, here’s the deal. All you need to do is to send me one dollar. Just one dollar! Then all I need is another 6,999 people to send me a buck and we’re in business.
