Title: Dub Box - campervan style, but is it cool ?
Post by: DubFan on 16 June 2011, 10:39
Spotted these yesterday, can't decide if they're cool or not.

But at £14k for a caravan it's questionable.

Fit and finish on that beige one looks ropey on the body but I like the concept. If I'd spunked £30K on split and then had kids it would seem ideal for extra space etc. It's a lot of money though.

Love it although pricey.. but then all camper and caravan stuff always is regardless of make or style.

Shawly it wouldn't have the power to pull that behind it.Devon and places like that have some prity steep hills which I don't think it would get up

I like it, but I'd half expect it to be selling ice cream rather than be used as an actual caravan.

I live in devon and i've seen a few of these around, they look nicer than the normal white boxes but the shed draggers still choke up the roads and impeded my otherwise swift progress.  :lipsrsealed:

If I had the money and I had a splittie I'd be wanting one of these. Very cool imo.  :cool:

Very cool imo. Obviously its gonna cost a fair old whack, but provided its looked after it will never loose money.  :cool: :cool:

i like it, but looks a bit silly being towed by a motor home. especially an air cooled, they struggle to pull there own weight!

t4 or 5 ftw

seen one on the back of a t4, was wrong in sooo many ways  :sick:

and lets be fair, if you spunked 30k on a van, and had the cash to the splash 14k on a matching caravan,  :shocked:

 do you think they would be running a standard motor  :laugh:

Depends whether you're an OEM junkie-moron.

At that price point, some are.

This is clearly an uncool device, designed to ensnare fools.

It should do well in the VW camper market.

I think they are cool, but also help drive the price of splits up as you have to pretty much cut 2 up to make one....

You really think that's a reconstituted Splittie?

Pointless.

If your campervan is small enough to warrant a trailer, just get a bigger camper van.

Depeneds. On camp where dad works, theres a guy he got chatting to whose doing one from scratch out of a split.

Anyway we all know Jamie Oliver is the culprit for pushing the prices up.

If I could afford a split and a 14k box, I would stay in a 5 star hotel  :lipsrsealed:
