Think of towing that against a strong headwind! It reminds me of the character in the old Gasoline Alley comic strip who pedaled a tricycle caravan, a kid's type tricycle with the pedals attached to the front wheel.

Ah, but downwind -  life would be sweet.
Steep descents might present a challenge.
Ascents would be brutal.
Seems to be a flatlander rig.

I have to say that pop up one is kind of cool. That green may even
match my bicycle.

Headwind, schmeadwind. It's a gusty crosswind that will send you to the pavement.

I wouldn't cross any of the bridges that cross the Columbia River with that contraption.

That looks like a solution in search of a problem!  I think I'll still go tent when bike touring.  But I'd totally rock a car-trailer house!

I seriously might build myself a Tumbleweed house someday and go wandering.
