That is a very fancy trailer!   It's probably one of those objects that if you have to ask the price of it, you can't afford it.
    It makes the Sears camp trailer (used and cheap) I took across the country in the 70's look primitive.  It was basically a metal box about 2 ft high with a single bed mattress on top of it (slept 2 if you were good friends) and a tent that flopped up and off onto the ground so there was room for a couple of cots (actually cheap chaise lounges) where my 2 kids slept.  It had 4 legs that extended to the ground to keep it steady, and we'd lift the sides of the tent up around the bed and used some mosquito netting pieces with elastic sewed around the edges to keep the bugs out when it was hot and humid in the East.  I was able to unload my pots and pans, clothes, food and stuff from the box through a couple of fold down doors, then roll the whole rig like a wheelbarrow down into hard-to-get-to campsites, sometimes using a rope to keep it from taking off on me.  Without the stuff inside, it probably only weighed 150 lbs or so.   I'd soaked the canvas with Thompson's Water Seal, so it was very waterproof, though in some of the really heavy rainstorms I could feel a little mist on my face when the big raindrops atomized through the tiny pores in the canvass.   
    We took that thing on some pretty bad roads and had a lot of fun times using it.
It took some explaining to campground hosts that it wasn't really a trailer or a tent, but both.  We got lightly rear-ended in Maine by a hit and run driver, took it to an auto body shop and they pounded it back into shape and tack-welded it together .
We hung out in it (With aluminum U-pole holding the tent up!) in some pretty nasty thunderstorms.   Thanks for the memories!
