It's built in the USA in North Carolina:  http://www.sylvansport.com/   I
saw the larger Go version ($9000) a couple weeks ago, and it's pretty slick.
Not easy to set up and take down though, but no tent trailer is. That said,
a 60 something woman travelling alone managed it quite well. Gotta give them
credit for sophisticated design.

Company site here

http://go.sylvansport.com/

Interesting concept and looks pretty good.

I wish the sylvan site had more info about the company itself. I would like
to know if the trailer is built in the USA or offshore

But here's the thing. You guys in the states ( oh I know, we all do it) are
so quick to complain about the price of things.

Can you make one less expensively? And can you make a living doing so?
I bet any money you can't.

Just buy the cheap harbor freight utility trailer, at least your keeping
some fellow citizens employed at minimum wage in sales.
