This is an exhibition of 75 works by ten American and European artists relating to travel and the city of Amsterdam. Focusing on Conceptual art practices between 1960 and 1976, the show includes…
Wow! what a camper. Where can I see one? Seems like the right answer for someone who detests the plain white pop-up and is not in the market for a full RV.
The Cricket Trailer is absolutely as cool in person as it looks in a photograph. I had the good fortune to meet Garrett last year and he gave me the rundown of what goes into his designs and what the trailers are all about. Best of luck to a great designer and his awesome product.
Totally cool! I want a Cricket!
I'd love to see a side-by-side comparison of the Cricket with one of Jay Shafer's Tumbleweed Tiny House trailers.
I had the chance to see one in person, the design is innovative. Most towables in this weight range are yawn inducing tent trailers. Garrett has created an excellent alternative choice for those who need a fully functional hard sided trailer that is towable with a mid-size economy car. Simply brilliant.
Wow. . . the answer to my semi-nomadic dreams! I've coveted an Airstream Bambi for years now but this seems more attuned to whatever outdoor setting you're in . . . gotta look into this big time! Thnx 4 the tip!
I'm happy to see Garrett's project in Dwell. I'd be very happy to live weeks out of my year in a Cricket.
For less money you can have a late 80's Westphalia Vanagon tricked out with upgrades from GoWesty.com. Nice to see someone design something fresh, not just another box.
Bet the Cricket cost less to keep running than a 3500lb 80 or 90 hp Vanagon
Looks real cool, i was thinking about a small trailer to hual behind my Mustang. This just might do the trick. We need more people thinking of new ways to do things, thanks.
Cool design, like the form follows function approach, light footprint/small size to go into remote places - great traveling basecamp... how do I order one?
Before reading the prose, I thought the interior looked like something one would see inside the former Space Shuttle, or International Space Station. The only difference here is that there is gravity from the earth. Interesting to read that he was a designer for NASA.
Do you have a picture of this when in driving mode traveling?
@ Rick I found quite a few driving shots over at their website, (crickettrailer.com/image-gal.html) also on their facebook
The pictures go by too fast to read the text. Very frustrating!!! Can you tell me how to slow it down??
I want one how much do the cost
