Not sure if this is the right spot for this, but this is a really interesting Truckhouse founder interview...

What is the total length, width, height and loaded weight? Thanks and GLWS!

Really curious about dimensions, and interior of the habitat buildout. It looks to be reasonably shorter (a good thing) than other F550 based offerings.... I also wonder about the front glass. Forest roads would always be a concern, and not to underestimate how much stuff gets thrown up...

What are the dimensions? Length, Height, Width, Weight, etc? Thanks!

It looks like the ACELA Straya 4X4 is coming online soon. Isuzu NRR with the 6.0 Vortec. Military grade axles and drive shafts. 41" tires with CTIS. 900lb torque in 4-Lo.... could be interesting. https://www.acelatruck.com/trucks/straya

Looks like there is an interesting trend of builders creating RV's that kind of look like and have some functionality of an Overlander, but really aren't engineered for the task (i.e. GRID, RexRover, maybe Truckhouse, etc...) Unfortunately they are also starting to creep into the Overlander...

I am always curious about Liquid Springs vs Kelderman. What are the tradeoffs and benefits between the two? It sure seems like it would be easier to repair Kelderman in the field rather than a hydraulic based system...

Is anyone considering the GRID offering out of Canada? Aluminum shell....and no idea on how it's mounted...but interesting design. Grid Truck Campers (gridtrucks.us)

Besides the GVWR concerns, the amenities you get with a SuperCab F150 aren't as nice as a SuperCab F250/350. (Just thinking about the freeway miles part of a trip...)

Overland Explorer Vehicles ( HOME - Overland Explorer Vehicles ) is building a Summit model that is akin to this GRID design. Its a bit less finished and uses composite panels instead of the aluminum frame, but similar size and functionality.

Good point. $280K Candian is $207K US as of this morning. Wonder what import/export fees would be?

Anyone consider a sailboat boom vang? They are designed to deal with tremendous pull and usually have a stop built in so when you are cranking on it is less likely to drop? Just a thought... Medium Boom Vang | West Marine

Great post! I stumbled upon Point Renfrew with some buddies in the 80s and have not been back in 30+ years...it was awesome then and looks just as wild and worthwhile to visit again. Thanks for reminding me of this treasure :) I think it is gone now, but there was this harrowing suspension...

Curious about your rig's winter performance. Any insights on how the SLRV habitat is handling cold weather?

Really not trying to beat you to the punch...but, DAMN! SLRV USA 6.8 (skycamuav.com.au

I wonder if the 8ft version would counter balance the N/S bed extended cabover additional weight?

Are they offering the CORE vehicles with the 6.6? If so, that's interesting.

Looks like you are leaving all your drawer and cabinet door latches open when you are parked? I'm curious about the story behind this - it seems like a perfect "catch something" opportunity as you move around the habitat.

Sounds like a hard look at the EC Core chassis are in order. Probably more than $30K over your Big 3, but would meet your length, (potentially) shipping, and international parts sourcing criteria.
