    I never collected a drop of solar power, but the battery kept up just fine anyway. I ran the cooler constantly for the first day and a half, the exhaust fan while I was sleeping, and played music at full volume in order to hear it outside. The foam really absorbs the sound. I put in a jack for external speakers because I thought that might be a problem. My frozen steak stayed nice and cold in the thermoelectric Paw Patrol cooler until dinner time the second day. And I used filtered pond water for drinking, cooking, and cleaning. Setup was quick and easy, and I slept like a baby. I wish I had brought back more footage. I had planned to get some towing and interior shots later, but that plan changed after "The Incident". The tablet "TV" doesn't appear in any shots because I was using it to film.
    The camper weighed in at about 100 pounds, with the grill, mess kit, entertainment center, cushions, awning and curtains packed inside. All the contents are still intact because they were stored in the lower galley section. The battery and solar panel add about another 10 pounds, but you wouldn't need them if you were staying at a campground with electric and ice.

    I'm really sad your beautiful camper was damaged in this accident. That said - your storytelling had me in stitches.

    as much as I liked the idea, the design and the build, I'll stay with my choice of using one of my tents, or my hammocks, or both...[a hammock can be a most comfortable ''sofa'' next to a tent...] a trailer behind my bike carries my freezer, my power station, and the solar and wind [secondary] options to recharge... thankfully there aren't any bears or bigfoot here in Australia... [not that a mini camper can protect me from that...]
    I still like the design and build though...

    these campers are great but they are 1 or 2 thing tops ,as you will go stir crazy if try andstay in the m all day if its raining continuosly,, i think the doors need to as big as possible ,and a decent awning with clip on sides, these days the wight isnt important we put an electric hub motor wheel on 2 of the trailers 4 wheelsand mwhen it syced properly to the bikes throttle ,you cant even tel its therethey were 1000 watt 9 continent hub motors
