ANNOUNCEMENT: the JK Habitat has now been discontinued.
Ursa Minor built the last unit and shipped it off to Adventure Trailers in January. AT and Ursa Minor reviewed the sales and are amicably going different directions, focusing on other products and projects.
Since the launch at SEMA in 2010, a total of 26 campers were built, with peak sales in 2013. Unit 001, the original prototype mounted to Overland Journal's J8, was scrapped quite some time ago, leaving 25 campers out roaming the world. It was fun product, and we learned a lot in the process about building fold over campers. While the torsion bar was a learning process, to date we have not had any failures. Ursa Minor retains a batch of them in reserve just in case.
As ownership of these unique campers changes hands, I hope new owners will post up and old owners will continue to share their adventures. The unit serial number for each camper is embossed in the base shell, and can be seen when the camper is open. If owners have any questions, or need parts or service, the first point of contact should be Adventure Trailers, the installer of all US delivered units, and providing the serial number will help ensure accuracy.
Will a fold-over Jeep camper ever be available again? Ursa Minor remains busy shipping 2nd generation J30 pop up campers and continues to build our experience with Jeeps. Any fold over Jeep designs will await the new Jeep JL, and the potential JL truck, hitting the market.
Cheers,
John
