THIS MODEL IS THE ORIGINAL DESIGNED AND BUILT IN 2005, with the trailer opening up to a canvas cot .

It's originality and practicability created worldwide interest and sparked an international design competition that drew a record breaking 4038 entries from more than 60 countries.

We now have a well proven addition to our line of trailers ready to cruise the trails or the world’s highways. Fully self contained, light and stable, tows like a dream. Converts to a tent in minutes(the wheels stay on) for a comfortable night’s sleep on the canvas cot, or a mid afternoon respite from the weather.

Basically maintenance free

"Ultimate Bike Camping Trailer - Tony Hoar is a Canadian who builds and sells bike trailers. He created a model called the "JourneyMan ™ Mobile Shelter" originally for homeless people. But the design of this trailer is so brilliant that I'm thinking of either building or buying one myself. It's really the ultimate for bicycle camping -- kind of an Airstream for bikes. Absolutely ingenious. For a motored bike, you would probably have to modify the hitch, but it solves two problems of bicycle camping: carrying a lot of stuff, and sleeping on the ground (especially in cooler weather). Sleeping off the ground is so much more comfortable... "-Sam

The tent is a 2-person model but the cot is basically for one person so there is lots of room to store your gear securely and under cover when the tent is up

There is room for all your gear in waterproof containers at all times.

Pedal Pundit Jamie Ollivier talks about the Nomad on YouTube.

How it works:

Insert the outriggers and 2 poles and the tent is up, (the wheels stay on).	Tent interior with sleeping bag for size comparision.	Take out the poles, fold the tent and fold the trailer. Ready to load your gear.
Loaded ready to go.	Or add the sides for more cargo capacity.	News Flash. While carrying a double bass needed no modifications. Carrying a kayak does, but its feasible and available.

Note: Vic-great family man that he is- is having fun explaining and showing his 6 year-old grandson how to erect the tent. It actually takes less than 5 minutes from applying your brakes to getting inside the tent and snugged down. Watch a video of Vic setting up the Nomad on Youtube!

"As my friend Mark Canizaro has pointed out, I'm not really "into" bike trailers. In general, I like to travel light. But Tony Hoar makes a bike trailer you can get into. Literally. It's a camp trailer with a really nifty design. One thing that I really love about this tent is that Tony started this project thinking about homeless folks. Tony has been helping people who need help and having those same people help work out details of the design.." - Solsom.com.

What our Customers are saying about the Nomad:

Tony's Trailers of Canada are available for most anything. Grocery getters, single wheelers, cargo trailers, kayak trailers, vehicles for the disabled, dog trailers and myriad custom bicycle trailer designs, like one for a gardener who humps their wheel barrow around by bike! It was, though, the Nomad that fascinated us the most. This touring trailer's frame folds out, to form both a stretcher bed and an outrigger frame for pitching a tent."

"Ever wish you could have a pop-up tent trailer while bicycle touring? This is a similar concept, but in trailer form. The same fellow also makes the highest-quality canoe trailer for bikes that I have found." - from Canadian Canoe Routes

"An excellent idea for travelling people: a trailer that doubles as a bed/tent support. Basically take your home with you on bike, it’s lightweight and has a huge storage capacity." - from TheCycler
