I was looking for a kind of survival "camper" if you will but came across something so much better! I never came across any products that fit my ideals quite the way I wanted them until I did some serious digging and found this guy www.bibooutfitters.com This man from FLA actually designed these and put the idea together perfectly. You name it he's got it! He has came up with a trailer small enough to fit in my garage and pull behind my s.u.v. cant ask for better than that. This thing is loaded with all the things you would need in ANY survival situation! He's got gas masks and suits for the chemical warfare, he also has this thing stocked with a 30 day supply of food, water and shower, a bed to sleep 4 or more (depending on size) comfortably on a BED off the ground. Grill, propane, gun safe you name it this guy has it! I'm hoping to contact him later in the week I want to be one of the first to get my hands on this. I've been to many other sites and expos this trailer takes the cake, check it out people!!!!

I had all these questions answered for me by email. Its designed as a roof top trailer its used in Africa and Australia where they mount them on land rovers. The floor is aluminum and fits together when you unfold the tent to support the entire tent. The roof of the trailer has also been reinforced and a tongue and groove have been placed also.
Pretty nice! Wonder what kind of price range?
The site has pricing (and is actually pretty reasonable)...and this is from a guy who deals in trailers occasionally. I just would leave off the roof tent. For one, I don't trust it to hold, no frickin' way, unless you have kids sleeping in the vestibule.... For another, makes it much higher profile and harder to conceal. I'd rather pitch a tent on the ground.
I didn't see the pricing on it. Either way, probably more than I can afford. I couldn't pull it with my little crv either. At best I could pull a little teardrop camper, but it's so small I'd rather sleep in a tent.
I have a neighbor who is always picking up utility trailers at very low prices. I'm thinking it wouldn't be very difficult to convert one of those. For that matter, I have a Ford Ranger with a cap on it and I've often thought about how I could convert that to live in on the run. The problem with either is having the gas to keep it going if the situation isn't an EMP and if it is an EMP, we're not going anywhere anyway. I hate the idea of having to shelter in place because of my proximity to 5 military bases. That's either going to be very good for me or very bad.
I think you'd be surprised. When they did the government sponsored EMP testing in 2002 (granted, a bit dated, but still), almost all cars started right back up, even with strong EMP values, and most didn't have any issues other than a small percentage that had some electrical glitches, but almost all were in running condition after. I have a link to the study in one of the EMP posts somewhere here...but you can Google on it (look for EMP Commission Report).
Here's the link for pricing:

I've also read that many vehicles will start right back up afterwards, but again, we have the issue of having gasoline to keep them running. The prices on the prebuilt homes is simply too high for what you get, but isn't everything these days? I recently built a combination shed/horse-stall for less than a third of what a pre-built would have cost me. Yes, you definitely pay for what you cannot do yourself, but hey, we're supposed to be preppers here - that means having knowledge as well as "stuff" to keep us going. So, we should all have some knowledge about building these things ourselves, right?
