Eggcamper travel trailer

Eggcamper says:

Molded and bonded uni-body construction is a strong part of the eggcamper design philosophy using large area molds to produce both exterior and interior sections, complete with seating, storage cabinets and kitchen features adding strength and durability without unnecessary weight.

The bright white gel coat finish makes cleaning fast and easy,
Foil faced space blanket insulation / glass core between the inner and outer shells is standard, adds comfort and reduces the cost of heating and cooling.

The molded and bonded uni-body construction eliminates many mechanical fasteners used in traditional stick and staple RVs, creating a strong very light weight leak free cabin.

Bill Robison :   We bought our EggCamper a few weeks ago. Boy is it roomy! I'm a big guy at 6'3" and about 260# - it seems just right for me - lots of headroom both standing or lying in bed! I have created some mods to put on a bath door, rear storage and make the second bed wide enough for both granddaughters to sleep comfy. I've taken all the wood doors down so I can paint them a soft color my wife picked out to coordinate with our cushions, etc. Have some ideas for solar charge unit - but for now will use Honda EU2000i genset for remote camping. If anyone would like to see one in real life we are near Lansing, Michigan. Send us a note deepthinkers(at)gmail.com

bikingrandma :   Cute, but kind of sparse and utilitarian looking, not "homey" at all. But maybe with a few decorator touches here and there... Looks well built, though.

dave p :   just finished a 10,863 mile trip towing the egg. no problems....rear bumper will not handle the weight of two bikes. bends and cracks the weld. need to weld reinforcements. traveled highway, back roads and real back roads. no problems and some real bumps.

Viper :   I'm waiting to sell my Eagle Bus Conversion and get one. I want something small that can be pulled by any of my vehicles.. in the end I just need bed, bath,frige,a/c, Microwave, Flat screen sat TV, 2 burners and a head/shower.. a place for my Lab if I stay in hotel, and for me and wife, dog when we are taveling... stop somewhere and tour around in the Hummer... This looks simple, no maintenance, no stick furniture. And has what I need, no excesses... Need to expand size of gen to 3K and have a couple more hours of gas for Gen on board, A rear hitch for a 3 bike rack also (not for towing). I like it... I like the convenience of a full scale coach.. just do much to maintain and towing a vehicle is a pain as you approach 65 feet long. Too big for many places... And it des not mater how big they are they all are only really for Two. Regards

Albert :   like to find a dealer near zip 85220 e-mail (dbironazmi@aol.com).

Rattlesnake Joe :   I have the Casita 17 SD with the reverse axle. I need better ground clearance as the black and grey pipes are low on my rig and I fear tearing them out when out boondocking in the wilds of AZ. Maybe this Egg has more clearance and maybe it can be waterproofed to withstand the GREAT EARTH CHANGES that are comming soon. Get up high, stay out of river valleys and away from the west coast.

Dan Pine :   I would like more information on this unit. Also where can it be bought new zip code 85220

dave :   to art: the +s: tows easily, easy to maintain, not mechanically complicated - fits in many "tent" or folding camper campsites. the -s: have to add shelving for storage

art :   I would like to hear comments from anyone who now has one. How do you like the idea of all electric?

Terry Briscoe :   Just what I've been looking for! Where is the closest dealer to zip 12871?

Dave P. :   Bought an eggcamper. company put door on the bath, tows easily even in 40-50 mph cross winds on busy interstate with many trucks. Put about 1400 miles on it. Lots of space inside.

Debbie :   This looks great! I want something I can just go with. No unfolding etc. Something I can take by myself.

David W Gualtieri :   If you are like me, then you want to get the biggest bang for your buck. I went to the factory, met the owner, toured the factory, shook hands with the workers and bought a demo Egg Camper loaded with the extras. The workmanship that went into the design and quality of this camper is second to none. The price is very modest compaired to others like the shiney all aluminum outside ones. Give Jim a call and he will work out a great deal for you. He is fair & honest.

nomadic spirit :   I just took a tour through one of these jobs this afternoon and it was quite a surprise. We own a 1999 Casita that we've had for 4 yrs and absolutely love it. I've seen the eggcamper on 3 of the fiberglass forums and was somewhat intrigued. Seeing a real one up close and personal was a treat and I was quite surprised at the quality. The first thing I noticed was the spaciousness inside with its aisle width and being being 88 inches wide against the 7 inches of my Casita. You would probably need extension mirrors even with a full size vehicle. This trailer would be a mod makers dream it has a lot of open storage space thats just begging for shelves etc. It does need thicker pads on the benches and the seats sit high in the bed position. The bath needs a door, the fridge was about the size of the Casita 16'. Although it seems to have the same exterior door that the Casita 17' has there was no screen door on it. The A/C is mounted on the front side of the body and exits under the front dinette seat. The outside appearance gives a very neat look with there being no pop rivets on the surface and the 2 halves joined together similar to the Burro camper, its about the same price as a Casita without being a Casita. Would I buy one???, I'm not ready to give up my Casita as yet

texascuda :   Cute, and would be good for some occassions. Privvy door? And A.C.?

Valerie A :   I love it, it is funky enough to be cute, yet looks like a quality item

Bobo :   Great looking camper, light weight, and simple lines. Do you sell thru dealers, direct, and if thru dealers, where is the closest dealer to zip code 34285 in Venice Florida? Is financing available thru you or thru the dealer and what is the availability.

Cathe :   I'd like to see the bath area a little better, but this is cute, and looks easy to tow. great for weekend getaways - not long term camping

RoTi :   Andrew S - the details of the manufacturer are above. You can contact them on 616-437-9255.

Andrew S :   I like it and want to know more about it. Who makes it and how do I contact them?

Scotty lover :   I love it. It looks like my old Scotty!

Helen V :   It looks like it would last a long time.

Ken A :   I like the idea that there's no "stick" furniture in it and that the whole thing is molded. It looks strong and there's nothing to rot.
