I took the Teal Camper to Moab, UT this weekend and wanted to let everyone on this forum know what I thought of it and how it performed.

I used the 4x8 camper for two people, leaving from Loveland, CO on Friday. It's about a 6 hour drive altogether. The 4x8 camper is plenty of sleeping room for two people; in fact sometimes it felt bigger than my own bed at home!

The camper is easy to assemble, just like the video outlines. It takes a little work and you have to do things in the right order but once you figure it out it's not hard - I'm not the most mechanically inclined person. It was easy to get up on my small utility trailer as well.

I have a Chevrolet Silverado and it is hard to tell whether you have a trailer on or not, it's so light. Which is great for those that have smaller vehicles; those of us with pickups will have no trouble towing it.

We went up Interstate-70 and while it was late-April we encountered quite a rain/snowstorm between Frisco and Glenwood Springs. There were no leaks of any kind, period. It got very wet and ice-covered on the outside but it did not get wet inside at all.

When we arrived it was easy to get set up for sleeping. The provided cushions that act sort of as a pseudo-mattress were really comfy and we needed no additional mattress pad. The temperature was COLD (30s at nighttime) and the camper, while insulated, isn't completely sealed off from the elements. It got very cold inside at nighttime, and the panels were cold to the touch. In order to save as much heat as we could, we put the top DOWN (as you would if you were traveling) in such weather as the heat inside radiated well enough to keep it reasonably comfortable. With enough blankets, we slept well enough considering. If it was summertime I'd have left it up so hot air could vent out but this way we kept it in as much as we could.

We experienced a great deal of wind while we were there as well and there was virtually no trouble handling gusts of 50mph+. While the canvas on the top flapped, there was virtually no awful wind noise and no lean and best of all, NO DUST. Moab as you might all know is basically a desert and the only dust in the camper is that which came off our shoes. The roof needs to be down rather firmly, and only lowering it with the mechanism was good enough, I didn't need the travel straps in order to keep the roof on when it got really windy.

We kept our bags under the bed area and between the couch/benches and they fit very well down there. We used the cabinets to their fullest and made use of the sink mostly for rinsing food or brushing our teeth. It's spartan but very functional.

For what I call "camping" it works out great, and it's very affordable and functional. This isn't a bells-and-whistles camper but it's FAR FAR FAR from just a box on wheels. There's some really nice features that make my camping/outdoor experience much better and I'm more apt to go do those kinds of things because I have a Teal Camper now.

That is a wonderful report, thank you! Is there any chance you have some pictures to share?

Here's a picture of the camper; I'll see if I can attach multiple - if not then apologies for the forum spam!

It is neat to hear some 'real world experience with the camper. It would be neat to see photos. Perhaps upload the photos at another site and link them here at this forum?
