We went all the way from Lincolnshire to Blackpool if i can remember it went up the hills with no trouble had a lot of looks from people in cars (the door was at the back) it had a nice awning as well .
The door at the back seems to me a more sensible option in a very small unit. I note the Go-Pods have their doors at the back, too. There is a tiny teardrop caravan for sale on ebay at the moment, it has its door at the back, too. I think the seller has used a wide angle lens to take a photo of the inside as it looks much bigger than you would think, from looking at it from the outside! Tomorrow I'll see iif I can find the link for it. Past my bedtime now...

This one, Philp 22?

If I had the money to spare I'd bite his hand off for that little beauty, though still think the seller has used a wide angle lens to take photos of the interior!
There are some other teardrops on ebay at the moment, slightly more expensive, but with the kitchen at the back; I just don't like that format.

Pretty cute little units though, if you like that sort or thing!
And there's someone on ebay selling very basic pods much more cheaply, but again, the kitchen is at the back of the unit.

If you have DIY skills it would be a cheap way of kitting out a pod yourself. Unfortunately I don't!

Well here we are in April 2022 and I still haven't got a unit for my little Toyota Yaris to tow. I've still got my frame tent but it's still a bit cold to be going out in that just yet!
Still hoping to find a Gobur Slimline 10/2 for sale within my budget, (a meagre £3k) but although there seems to be plenty of Goburs about, this model seems to have become a rare beast.
I still can't get rid of the feeling that a low profile unit would be easier for the little Yaris to tow. Nothing worse than embarrassing yourself by being unable to tow your caravan up a steep hill, or being unable to pull off at traffic lights on a hill!
So, the searh goes on....
