Mini Campers

My wife and I borrowed a Prolite Mini Eco from friends last summer and really liked, it suited us very well. The only downside is that the interior width is 74" and I found that I (72" ht) have to sleep on an angle.

 
Timing eh. Pre 2020 I took a peek at tiny trailers (who needs gas fireplaces and granite counter tops) and the prices were reasonable. Despite that I thought I may as well wait for retirement before getting a used Boler or whatever. Along came Covid and people went on a tear replacing indoor social stuff with outdoor recreation. Prices followed and bang zoom went my retirement trailer plan.
We had a derelict tent trailer for a few years when the kids were young but I'm not sure I want a tent on wheels. Maybe there's a gently used Boler/Scamp in someone's barn, only towed to church on Sundays and never seen winter. Oh, and I'll take that vintage '48 panel suburban.
Nowadays we glamp with a large tent and dining shelter snugged up together. Air mattress and down bags, bbq and stove, comfy camp chairs, quiet music and books. Sometimes making do works. YMMV
