UFO stands for Ultimate Fun Outdoors and that is exactly what you get with this camper.
This little camper is the coolest design ever for a small teardrop style camper. It is lightweight, very aerodynamic, built with high quality materials, easy to set up and actually looks like a UFO when it is expanded. When expanded, it gives you approximately 66% more room on the interior. We have tested this camper in many different environments and made any changes that we felt were needed. I am confident in the design so I have decided to build a second prototype UFO camper with many improvements over the original design. This design is protected by US Patent # 12,097,796.
