Here are a few pics of the gyro camper.
We bought the camper the month before coof-19, so we have not had a chance to use it until this past Bensen Days.
Problem was finding a toy hauler that had a 18ft+ garage, car haulers are too large for right now.
So we lucked up and found a 2007 Pace explorer RT
It is 20ft, all open, 2 couch/beds, small kitchenette ,small bathroom and shower, and a fridge.
Everything you need for a weekend, oh yeah, A/C too.
The gyro fits inside perfectly, I took careful measurements before purchase. We repainted the inside and did all sorts of little upgrades. It also has torsion axles so it rides nice.
Even has color TV!

The only problem, or inconvenience is that you cannot sleep in the camper when it is loaded with the gyro, BUT for fly ins it is easy to unload and set up camp, does not take that long. Not good for more than a days drive. But it did work out great at Bensen days, and I can keep it indoors in the hangar, so that is a good thing.
The prices of trailers has doubled since numb nuts took office just like everything else.

I thought that when I first saw the setup... but nothing stopping you taking a blow up mattress for emergency camping mid trip? :like :wol2 :Wolvie

It unloads fairly quickly. I have a 12v winch that bolts to the floor.
I should have taken more pictures when I was there, I threw the Honda Benly in the back of the truck so me and mama could cruise around the airport with the wind in our hair.
