Anyone have dealings or seen one of these Velocity RS rigs?

Weight, price, features are intriguing.

Looks similar to those aerovaults sold over here but close to 1/2 the price (if you can get it over here). Like the size and side doors but man are those some small tires.

Hard, but not impossible to import. DOT and such. As to smaller tires, recall in EMEA, towing is at much slower highway speeds (per laws, like Semi truck rigs). So towing in the USA at +65mph may exceed the trailer capabilities.

Towing in Europe is different:

"Our trailer is rated to 140km
It is a 195/70R12"

Those are some tiny tires....

Not sure that's going to cut it here on the US interstates with a Cayenne Twin Turbo tow vehicle... :-)

Shipping kills that deal.
