• Impossibly curvaceous egg camper drops price and weight Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Reddit Flipboard Email The most egg-shaped of all the egg campers, the British-developed Barefoot Caravan has been wowing camper fanatics with its shapely fiberglass sincelaunching over a decade ago. • Despite its compact, curvy size, it also boasts a 6.1-ft-peak (1.9-m) cabin with a private bath and convertible dinette. • As with other RVs, though, Barefoot pricing has risen steadily and is now close to double what it was 11 years ago. • Happily, Barefoot has developed the new Bothy model to roll pricing back in time while simplifying the layout into a lighter, more spacious offering. • It’s a compelling entry point to the egg-camping experience. • Molded fiberglass trailers are really having their moment.
Article Summaries:
- Barefoot Caravan has launched a new “Bothy” egg‑shaped camper that cuts both price and weight. The model, priced at £25,500 ($34,425), is roughly 14 % lighter than the current Barefoot Classic and removes the built‑in bathroom, replacing it with a Thetford portable toilet. The change brings the starting cost close to the 2015 level, down from the Classic’s £39,950 ($53,925). The move follows a broader trend of molded‑fiberglass egg campers-such as Scamp X and Escape 13-entering the market with higher prices and smaller footprints. Barefoot’s Bothy offers a more affordable entry point while maintaining the distinctive egg‑shaped design.
