Reminds me of the older actually half ton fifth wheels 😂. We camped last year and there was an old forest river no slide fifth wheel that had just a bed over the fifth wheel like that. The owner said it weighed just over 5,000lbs and around 800 tongue loaded it was like 26-30 overall I wanna say.
This is a Vintage Cruiser, a line of RVs by Gulf Stream. They also have a product line called "Vista Cruiser" which are the same floor plans but with modern decor. If that sleeping area can fit a residential queen sized mattress, or even an Olympic queen, it would be a great couple's camper! I have a Ford Maverick and it's rated for 4,000lbs towing and 400lb hitch weight, so those specs are about perfect for my vehicle.
We had one by Shasta 16’ my parents first trailer. It was a 1963 or 1964 first trip to Yellowstone, Tetons and Mount Rushmore 3 weeks swing through the west. It works well.
Awesome trailer and design, except for one MAJOR flaw - I don't see any outside storage compartments!!! Hopefully someone addresses that before it goes into production!
As i just ripped out ALL my underlayment and insulation to find rotten wood all over my Jayco, id love a aluminum framed trailer. Btw the insulation is like a sponge against wood, it rotted out a LOT of wood, and the thermal cover under my trailerhid it for years, keeping the wood from drying out. Rip all of it out, let your wood breath!
Reminds me of my parents' first trailer. It was a Commanche and had a bunk in the overhang. I'd suggest a trifold sofa where that storage bookcase was, if there's room. Cute!
Interesting, I know their playing out the idea but, take it to a bigger level. Duel axle, 6 or 8' longer, stronger frame, full fiberglass molded top, forget roof top ac use mini split system, forget dinette idea use barstool bar. Area under bed at front wall make a wardrobe closet etc, or full length sofa.
I swear WTH you supposed to start with the number and AJ knows this too what are the numbers to the Elkart Dealer open house... size of the lot how many vehicles how many many bathrooms
What a smart idea! Love the idea of having a bed out and above the bed of the truck without needing a fifth wheel hitch. One way that the hitch weight could be offset a bit would be to put a storage rack or bin option on the back for larger items like chairs and grills and such.
Like most people when we see something like this we say it's pretty cool. Retro seems to be the new style. But why don't they do a standard looking model along with the retro model for people that don't really care for that retro look?

I want one. Do a video when they start selling them.
High teens or low twenties? Let me know when they're ready.
That’s really cool looking and I’m definitely gonna look into this camper. Great weekender. Thanks for another great video
Very cool retro look at an attractive price range, I am betting it will be very popular, please keep us updated on progress.

I really like it. I'm hoping there will be decent options/upgrades available.

Like a truck camper on wheels. Didn't see any outside storage however.
That is a really cool looking camper. Definitely has extra space with that overhang bed area.

Off topic, but have you heard any updates on when the Furrion Chill Cube will be available? Wanting to replace my Casita Coleman Mach 3 loud a** unit.
I think that's really awesome! That's a great way to get more space in a small package and no one else is doing it I'm pleased by the weight too.
I like it. What's old is new (but using modern construction/materials). This unit reminds me of a product line from the 1960's and my childhood.

This is one of the most appealing units I’ve seen on your channel!! Thanks for sharing!!
cool! glad to see the new owners of Retro continuing to innovate - still loving my 2016 Retro 177se !!

That is awesome. I would love to have one. It would be a great weekend get away trailer.
Your videos always stand out for their quality and originality. Thank you for your contribution!🐂🐛🟦
Like humans originate from a common ancestor, this is the ancestor of travel trailers, fifth wheels, and truck campers.
Nice to see something really different from the RV industry from time to time! 👍🏼👍🏼
Very cool unit. I wish they’d drop the “retro” stickers. Just let it be retro without a sign that says “retro”. But got a hit on their hands I believe

This type of design can really shake up the
Very nice. What about wind drag will it make your gas mileage go down more than a regular front trailer
That’s the perfect size to mount on the front of a gooseneck and make a toy hauler.
Okay so now I need them to make me a retro truck to match that would be awesome live on the beach
Thats a cool alternative to a Teardrop type trailer . New but old cool.
When do these go for sale? I want one would love to see a follow up video on this one
Can you tow this with anything other than a truck? How high is the over hang area?
I love it. This would be perfect for the horseshows we go to.
I thought it was some sort of strange goose neck for a second.
I personally love it I think it is cute as a button
I'm a customer. This thing's awesome
I think it's awesome. I would love to see one in person.
Looks like something I drew in kindergarten
My grandparents had one of them 65 years ago
What's the size of the mattress, again?
Very nice! Especially at that price point.
I absolutely love it. I wish I had one.
Neat 👍
This ticks a lot of boxes for me 💯
Very nice unit and a great price point.
Thats a really nicely done.
Yes, yes, yes. Great RV
I would buy one.
