I'm not sure if my previous comment thread was deleted on purpose, or if a server is down, but my "here lies: assface" comment wasn't directed at anyone, but is in fact what every child from 1981-present wrote on every gravestone in Oregon trail. #trailer
Its actually too nice. Camping should be in a leaky tent with a sleeping bag on the floor. You have a real fire to cook, see and wonder by. If you have your trusty Igloo cooler, StayPufts and Jiffy Pop, what else do you need? #trailer
If we organized our houses/apts/condos as efficiently as we do trailers and boats, two people could live in 200 sq meters no problem. Shrinking your actual living space reduces energy costs dramatically. #trailer
@Gary_7vn: 200 sq meters is no problem at all. That's like 2100 sq feet. 2 people living in that size place in California is largely unheard of... #trailer
@Gary_7vn: Er, is that supposed to be some kind of revelation? My GF and I have NEVER lived in an area even approaching 2100 sq ft for two people. Our current place is about 1100 sq ft, and it is way bigger than what we need. We were in a place that was about 850, and that was also fine, but much smaller than that and I wouldn't have a place for all the computers. #trailer
The wagon tipped over while floating. We lost:
1600 pound of food
1 wagon axle
2 sets of clothing
125 bullets

It's not a horrible idea. I actually kind of like the idea of a rubbermaid storage locker on wheels. According to the website, it can haul up to 1000 lbs. If it was all plastic, I'd worry, but the trailer frame seems sturdy enough. $2500 is a bit much, but I'd probably willingly pay about a grand for one of these.
@DeusExMach is a star-bellied sneetch.: But imagine throwing all your camping gear in there. Then you can store it out of the way in the garage and just tip it over and hook it up for a weekend trip.
@NatefromOgden: Exactly my thought. Hey, I want to help a friend move a couch. Just need to unload all this stuff from the shelves into a big pile in my garage and I'm all set.
What I wonder is, if you have it down as a trailer, and you have the doors on still, are they waterproof? That would seem to me to be a very useful feature, especially if you have to move stuff when it's raining.
@farcedude: From the product page: "Attractive. Weatherproof. Lockable. Secure."
Weatherproof is an ambiguous term. I'm sure that means its water resistant though (albeit probably not waterproof).

@Purple Monkey Dishwasher: Just found on their page for the 2009 model (hard to get to) that it is "watertight" in both modes. Again, ambiguous, but it's better than transporting stuff in an open bed.
@farcedude: From the pictures of the upright, it looks like the axle gets disassembled and stowed with the tires, within the housing. I guess another worry is whether those wheels will stay attached over extended distances at highway speed.
Why is it that in Movieland, stunned, semi-conscious people can miraculously grab any protrusion with infinite strength, even if falling at terminal velocity? Tron does it in Tron, here (although not when falling). Mary Jane did it in Spider-Man. This is why I hate the use of gratuitous CG. Nobody cares about doing it right. Everything looks floaty and drifty and really fake.
@philphil: And don't forget baby Kirk on the edge of the Grand Canyon. He not only grabbed something, he grabbed dry sandy Grand Canyon!
New rule. Unless the character is a droid, or has super powers, then they should not exhibit super strength or defy the laws of physics. Even Scotty never did that... #tronlegacy
