    What im most interested in is that trailer! That thing is the bees knees man. Its probably the most a k13 in canada has towed. I'd like to know more about it, like how comfy it is and what it cost.

    Yeah. That little trailer/camper is quite unique.

    Love the trailer! Just moved 4 18' full 2" x12" planks/beams on my boat trailer behind the Micra, no problem. Easier than taking the truck.

    With the Quebec hitch, do you still have access to the spare tire? Is the Quebec manufacturer SRG Attache Remorque?

    Hi there, thanks for sharing your road trip! What kind of trailer hitch are you using (class 1?) and where did you get it & have it installed? Wondering if there's any retailer / installer for that out here in western Canada...
    Nice!

    this little camper is awsome! car did not know it was there....double bed and stand up vestabule that sets up in less than 2 minutes and only 245lbs...24 lb on the hitch. would buy another in a heartbeat - and made here in BC.

    Order the hitch from SDG or SRG in Quebec. It installs in 45 minutes, cost was $200 taxes and delivery included. Buy the Curt brand in line wiring kit and you're done in just over an hour and well under $300 bucks. Yes you can still access the spare tire.

    yes...we ordered ours from quebec and had Kal Tire do the install and wiring...quebec company link is in the forum (http://www.srgattacheremorque.com/?) and they were great to deal with. it is a class 1 hitch and was plenty for the Lees-ure Lite (www.leesurelite.com/). Low cost camping with a Micra...40+mpg opens tons of low budget opportunities!
