Nomad Bicycle Tent Trailer

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.

How it works:

Canvas cot laced onto frame and tent outriggers deployed.	Folded tent attached to the cot with Velcro.	Insert 2 poles and erect the tent 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.	Vic Lindal on his odyssey to Manitoba. See his website www.viclindal.ca for his journal. Or, watch a video of Vic setting up the Nomad on Youtube!	News Flash. While carrying a double bass needed no modifications. Carrying a kayak does, but its feasible and available.

"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.

But why not come here and pick it up, save some money
and enjoy some of the best cycling in the world!
