What do think about the camper.

You could use a small car to tow it.
They look like nice lightweight trailers, if you are looking for a very basic PU.:)
I looked at those trailers this past weekend at an Outdoorsman's show. I spent quite a bit of time in and out of the trailers. They are very solidly built. There is a least one model (considerably longer) that is not shown on the web page, and the accessories make more sense when you see them installed on the trailer. The set-up/take-down of the tent portion is extremely fast, and a person could make one of those very comfortable with the right accessories. I think you will appreciate what they have to offer much more if you can see them in person.
I didn't see what it cost, but I can't imagine that it's cheap. For my money if I wanted to go that route I would just pack up my tent and tow my utility trailer loaded with toys.

Our local Sportsmans Wharehouse had some on display. They were around $5,000. I think the large one ran almost $7,000.
If you have a small tow vehicle, it is an option. You just wouldn't have a lot of space if you had a family.

This trailer is what first started us towards our first pup, it is a good idea for a back country camping/ hunting rig. Yes it is very basic but can be fixed up and added on to very easily, it is a neat idea very versitile. AzRon

Yeah! And I got some Ocean front property here in California..........oh, wait, there is Ocean front property here in California.......you know what I mean! ;)
Too much $$$ for what you get. but for a single person it may work out great.
Think I would do the same as an old fishing buddy of mine ...
Have a light utility trailer, load all your gear into the thing plus the 12' aluminum boat on top of the trailer and use a SpringBar tent.

I rigged up a deal like that for carrying duck boats. The picture of the Ranger balanced on top of it reminded me of the time I pulled it to southern missouri--6 feet long and 8 feet tall--every time I went around a turn it leaned waaaay over.
Bought a new trailer for the ride home. That little trailer better be more impressive in person than it is in the pictures. . . not sure I'd feel comfortable balancing an ATV way up there.
I don't like it. It's basically a tent that is setup in a utility trailer. I really don't like it. I think there a much better options. You could just buy a utility trailer, buy a good Eureka or Cabelas family tent, buy some quality cots, buy a small table to sit in it, and you'd come out much cheaper, get a bigger tent, and could put your tent anywhere as many campground make trailers park on pads and no where else.
I think it's a waste of money. There are some really nice motorcycle trailers that are nicer in my opinion and offer quite a bit more and are even cheaper. Sorry, I don't have time to find them to link them but they're out there.
Honestly for $5000, I'd buy an 8' PUP that has water, propane and electrical hookups along with real cabinets and a hard roof opposed to this overpriced tent.
Good luck in what ever you buy. My opinion is just that, mine. So if you like it and feel it's worth the money, do what you want or need to do.
Have a good one.
Not worth the $$$ IMO!!! Plus if you park quads etc on it oils and such leak on your tent.... Plus if you wanted a tent get a tent... I like having a hard top
