    That's great. It's got to be a pretty lite camper.

    Hell yes i like! That's the best wagon pic I've seen lately.

    More/ bigger pics please. That looks like quite a load for the wagon, how's it pull?

    The trailer is a Bjølseth 540 (5.4m), and it weighs 2336lbs - gross weight 3000lbs
    Car is 100% stock except for the wheels (took em off my EG4 partout car)

    That's as heavy or heavier than the car, isn't it?

    Where do you live? Bjolseth sounds Scandinavian.

    Yeah it's the same as weight of the car. I live in Norway, and Bjølseth is made in Norway :-)

    We had a great trip, it was a testing round to check if this worked, and it did very well, 650 miles, with some really heavy hills (one is 18% escalation over like 20 miles, is that what its called?). :-)
    Gas mileage about 22MPG...not so bad, considering the engine ran pretty hard at times. Crusing speed ~55mph, so I could increase mileage alot by speeding down a little I think.
