The last time I doled out the kind of TAXA people actually want to pay for, it was in mighty mite form. The TAXA TigerMoth Trailer is a small, lightweight camper intended for towing by 4-cylinder vehicles. TAXA's latest towable, the Mantis, is more family-friendly at 19' long, with a full kitchen, and enough interior space to sleep 4 adults. Two of them can even cuddle up together in the Mantis' primary bed, topped with a full-size mattress.
The other two will have to rochambeau for the bottom bunk.
Additional crowd-pleasing installations in the TAXA Mantis Camper include:
- A combo water heater / furnace system, 20-gallon fresh water capacity, wet bath, and cassette toilet.
- Hot and cold exterior shower.
- Seating for 6 with a convertible bed-to-table design.
- Two-burner stove in the kitchen, plus a sink, fridge, and birch wood cabinets and countertops.
- 12V electrical system, with accessory outlets inside and out.
- Storable in most 7' garages.
